What is the Hollywood Peel and how does it work?
The Hollywood Peel, also known as Carbon Laser Peel, is an advanced facial procedure that uses Q-Switched laser technology to improve skin appearance. It involves applying a layer of liquid activated carbon to the face, which penetrates the pores. Subsequently, a laser is used to heat and vaporize the carbon, removing dead skin cells, excess sebum, and impurities.
This process stimulates collagen production, reduces pore size, and evens out skin tone. The result is visibly brighter, smoother, and rejuvenated skin. It is a quick and effective treatment, ideal for those seeking a “flash” effect before a special event.
Who is the Hollywood Peel for?
The Hollywood Peel is suitable for a wide range of skin types and aesthetic concerns. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with dull skin, enlarged pores, uneven texture, mild acne, or oily skin. It is also an excellent option for those who want general facial rejuvenation without prolonged recovery time.
If you are looking to improve your skin's radiance or prepare for an important occasion, this treatment can offer visible results. However, as with any aesthetic medical procedure, a prior assessment with our specialists is essential to determine if it is the most suitable treatment for your particular case.
Benefits of the Hollywood Peel
Patients who opt for the Hollywood Peel typically experience a range of aesthetic benefits. These include improved skin radiance and tone, a visible reduction in pore size, and smoother skin to the touch. Additionally, the treatment helps to diminish fine lines and improve overall skin elasticity.
Another benefit is its ability to deeply cleanse pores, which can help control acne and sebum production. Results vary among individuals, but many describe skin with a fresher, healthier appearance. This treatment is valued for its ability to provide a “flash effect” of aesthetic improvement.
The step-by-step procedure at Santé Clínica Estética
At Santé Clínica Estética, the Hollywood Peel is performed by our board-certified doctors, ensuring maximum safety and efficacy. The process begins with a deep cleansing of the skin to remove any makeup residue or impurities. Then, a thin layer of liquid activated carbon is applied to the treatment area.
Once the carbon has dried, the Q-Switched laser is applied. This laser is attracted to the carbon particles, vaporizing them and taking with them dead cells and skin impurities. During the treatment, you may feel a slight sensation of warmth or a minor tingling, but it is generally a well-tolerated procedure without significant pain. The session usually lasts about 30-45 minutes.
Results and recovery time
One of the advantages of the Hollywood Peel is the absence of significant downtime. After the treatment, the skin may show slight redness, which usually disappears within a few hours. Patients can resume their daily activities immediately, making it an ideal treatment before an event.
The results of radiance and improved skin texture are often visible immediately after the first session. To maintain and enhance these effects, our doctors may recommend a plan of several sessions, spaced every 2 to 4 weeks, depending on each patient's individual needs. High sun protection is essential after the treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Hollywood Peel painful?
The Hollywood Peel is generally a well-tolerated procedure. Most patients experience a slight sensation of warmth or a gentle tingling during laser application, but it is not considered painful. It does not require anesthesia, and you can resume your normal activities immediately after the session.
How many sessions do I need to see results?
Radiance and smoothness results can be visible from the first session, especially the desired “flash effect” before an event. However, for more lasting improvements in skin texture, pore reduction, or acne control, our doctors usually recommend a cycle of 3 to 6 sessions, spaced every 2 to 4 weeks. The exact number of sessions will be determined during your personalized medical consultation.
Can I sunbathe after a Hollywood Peel?
It is crucial to avoid direct and prolonged sun exposure after a Hollywood Peel. The skin will be more sensitive to UV rays, so the use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high protection factor (SPF 50+) is indispensable. Our doctors will provide you with all the necessary instructions for post-treatment care and adequate sun protection.
Does it have any contraindications?
Although it is a safe treatment, there are some contraindications. It is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, people with certain active skin conditions (such as infections or open wounds), or those taking photosensitizing medications. During the free consultation, your doctor will evaluate your medical history to ensure that the Hollywood Peel is the right treatment for you.
