Hollywood Peel

Brighter. Clearer. Smoother skin with little to no downtime.

If your skin feels congested, oily, dull, or your pores look enlarged, the Hollywood Peel (also known as a Carbon Laser Peel) is a fast, non-invasive laser treatment that deeply exfoliates, helps decongest pores, and leaves your skin looking instantly refreshed.

At Image Clinic, this treatment is a favorite for:

Enlarged pores + congestion

Oily skin

Blackheads

Acne-prone skin (and post-acne texture)

Dullness + uneven tone

Fine lines (mild)

Event-ready glowdowntime.

What To Expect

Many clients notice a same-day glow with smoother texture and a more refined look to pores. For acne-prone or oily skin, results often improve with a series.

You may also notice:

Brighter, clearer skin after one treatment

Reduced congestion/blackheads over the following days

A smoother makeup application

Gradual improvement in texture with repeated treatments

Best results: a series of 3–6 sessions, typically every 2–4 weeks, then maintenance every 6–12 weeks depending on your skin.

How To Prepare

To keep your skin safe and reduce irritation, please:

✔ Avoid excessive sun exposure for at least 48 hours before treatment to prevent skin sensitivity.

✔ Discontinue retinoids and exfoliating acids (such as glycolic acid and salicylic acid) for 3-5 days pre-treatment to reduce irritation.

✔ Stay well-hydrated before and after your session to enhance the treatment’s effectiveness.

✔ Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup and heavy skincare products, to allow maximum serum penetration.

Aftercare

✔ Keep skin hydrated by using a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.

✔ Avoid direct sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to protect your fresh skin.

✔ Refrain from using active ingredients like retinoids or exfoliating acids for 3-5 days post-treatment to avoid irritation.

✔ Skip heavy makeup for at least 24 hours to allow skin to breathe.

✔ Follow a personalized skincare routine, as recommended by our experts, to maintain your results long-term.

What is the Hollywood Peel / Carbon Laser Peel?

The Hollywood Peel combines a medical-grade carbon mask with laser energy. The carbon sits in pores and on the surface of the skin to bind oil, debris, and dead skin cells. When the laser passes over the skin, it targets and “zaps” the carbon, helping to:

Exfoliate and polish the surface

Deep-clean pores

Reduce oil output temporarily

Smooth texture and brighten the complexion

Stimulate collagen gently over time
