How the Hollywood Facial and Pico Laser Technology Helps Your Skin
Don’t let the name fool you. The Hollywood Facial isn’t really a facial at all but is instead a type of sophisticated laser treatment. It’s all the rage in, you guessed it, Hollywood! Celebrities favor the treatment because of its dramatic results and quick recovery time.
What Is the Treatment?
The treatment itself involves a couple of different steps. First, a black carbon mask is applied to the face. Once the mask is in place, an expert skincare professional applies a Pico laser treatment.
A Pico laser is a non-invasive treatment that targets certain types of imperfections. It sends heatless pulses of energy into the targeted area of the skin, breaking down the skin pigment it touches. The sensation isn’t uncomfortable, but it is highly effective at removing sun damage spots, scarring, lesions, and even certain types of tattoos.
What Types of Conditions Does It Treat?
The Hollywood Facial and Pico laser treatments are highly effective at getting rid of many unwanted skin conditions, both new and old. Since the Pico laser targets and destroys pigmented areas, it’s useful for getting rid of nearly any type of spot on the face, from dark patches to old scars. Schedule this treatment to handle the following issues and more.
- Sun damage
- Acne scars
- Uneven skin tone
- Melasma
- Unwanted birthmarks
Additionally, this treatment leaves you with rejuvenated, glowing skin, regardless of your skin type!
How to Prepare
Fortunately, scheduling a Hollywood facial and Pico laser treatment doesn’t require much from you. There’s no downtime and most patients experience no side effects at all. The most common ones are minimal and include redness. In general, it’s a gentle treatment and you can get back to the rest of your day after your appointment.
Sessions tend to be fairly quick, too. Pico laser treatments only take a few minutes (a half hour at most) and by the end, you’ll have fresh, lovely skin! For highly pigmented or troublesome spots, you may need a few different sessions. The benefits from the Hollywood Facial begin immediately, though.
