Ce traitement donne une peau lumineuse et douce, réduit la séborrhée et l’acné et affine le grain de peau. Il est possible de le réaliser tout au long de l’année, sur tout type de peau. C’est une alternative aux peelings chimiques, donc il est particulièrement adapté aux peaux intolérantes à l’acide glycolique.

Highlights

Hollywood Peel à Genève

Le Hollywood Peel, ou « Carbon Laser Peel », est une procédure innovante en médecine esthétique.
Ce traitement est un gentle peel qui donne un luminous complexion et glowy et améliore la texture de la peau qui devient éclatante et souple. 
Cette procédure est idéale pour les patients qui cherchent une revitalisation 

cutanée sans avoir recours à des procédures invasives.
Using a combination of laser and carbon mask, the Hollywood Peel gently exfoliates the skin, eliminates impurities and stimulates collagen production, helping to rejuvenate and deeply cleanse the skin.
The areas treated are the face, neck, décolleté and hands. 

What are the benefits of this treatment?

  • Rejuvenating effect: by increasing collagen production, Hollywood Peel helps maintain firm, smooth skin, reducing wrinkles, fine lines and dilated pores. The result is visibly younger, more radiant skin.
  • Uniform complexion: pigmentation spots and skin imperfections are reduced, the complexion becomes more even and luminous.
  • Regulation of sebum production: Hollywood Peel is particularly indicated for oily or acne-prone skin, for its sebum-regulating action.
  • Improved skin texture: by eliminating dead cells, this treatment is a gentle peel that refines skin texture, leaving it smoother and softer.
  • No social eviction: this procedure is non-invasive. Healing takes place without any after-effects, and you can resume your usual activities immediately after the session.

What are the indications for the Hollywood peel?

The Hollywood Peel is a treatment that can be performed on the face, neck, décolleté and hands.
It is suitable for all phototypes and all skin types: combination, oily, dry and sensitive.
However, tanned skin is a contraindication.

The aesthetic problems targeted are :

  • Dull complexion: the Hollywood Peel brightens the skin by exfoliating dead surface cells. The skin becomes more even, with less pigmentation.
  • Dilated pores: Hollywood Peel densifies the skin and has a sebum-regulating action, visibly reducing the size of pores. Skin texture is refined.  
  • Fine lines: the improvement in fine lines is linked to the action on stimulating dermal synthesis. The Hollywood Peel rejuvenates the skin and slows down the ageing process.
  • Acne and acne scars: Hollywood Peel reduces the production of sebum, one of the factors responsible for acne.
    The appearance of acne lesions is multifactorial, which is why this dermatosis improves but does not disappear after Carbon Peel sessions.
    Some studies describe the benefits of this peel for treating acne scars. According to Dr Romano, the only effective techniques are the ablative laser and peels.
  • Excess sebum and blackheads. 

Hollywood peel or Hydrafacial?

The choice between the Hollywood Peeling and theHydrafacialdepends on the desired result and skin type.
The Carbon Laser Peel uses a laser combined with a carbon mask to exfoliate deep down, remove impurities and stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother skin, a more even complexion and a reduction in dilated pores.
The Hydrafacial cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin using a unique vortex technology to remove dead skin cells and infuse hydrating and nourishing serums. Ideal for those seeking intense hydration and radiance enhancement, the Hydrafacial is perfect for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
If you're looking for a treatment that deeply revitalises the skin and treats imperfections, the Hollywood Peel is the right option. If the priority is maximum hydration and immediate radiance, the Hydrafacial is the perfect choice.

How a Hollywood peel works

Stage 1

Dr Romano uses a brush to apply a carbon solution specific to this peel to cleansed and disinfected skin.
A first laser pass is made.
The eyes are protected by special goggles.
The area is heated to 43-45°C, which has a triple effect:
Penetration of the solution into the pores.
Stimulation of skin synthesis.
Destruction of Propionibacteri Acne, the bacteria responsible for acne.

Stage 2
Two or three passes are made to pulverise the carbon particles, creating a peeling effect: the surface layer of the skin is exfoliated and the contents of the pores are destroyed.

Step 3
The laser is set to 'dermal stimulation' mode to densify the skin. Two additional passes are made over the area to be treated.

After the residual carbon particles have been removed, a moisturising cream is applied.
A session of mesolift is often recommended to complete the procedure, to intensely moisturise the skin that has just been exfoliated.

Results

The results of the Hollywood Peel are real and visible from the very first session. This innovative treatment revitalises the skin deep down, giving a more radiant, even complexion. Fine lines and wrinkles are reduced by stimulating collagen production, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Dilated pores are tightened and skin texture is refined. Skin imperfections such as spots are significantly reduced, giving way to clearer, more even-toned skin. By regulating sebum production, the Hollywood Peel also helps to reduce oily skin problems, such as blackheads and pimples, and improve acne. This non-invasive treatment leaves skin refreshed, soft and radiant, with no downtime.
Depending on the patient's lifestyle, skin type, the problem being treated and the number of sessions carried out, results last between one and four months. Maintenance sessions are necessary.
The most common protocol involves 3 sessions 3 weeks apart.
