Red-carpet glow with zero downtime

Hollywood Peel in Garfield, NJ

A gentle, non-invasive laser treatment using activated carbon to exfoliate the skin, minimize pore size, and even out skin tone. All with zero downtime. The Hollywood Peel delivers an instant red-carpet glow, making it perfect before special events.

About This Treatment

Walk in on your lunch break. Walk out with visibly brighter, smoother skin. No redness, no peeling, no downtime. That is the Hollywood Peel, and it is why everyone from celebrities to busy professionals keeps coming back. Using a medical-grade Q-switched Nd:YAG laser and activated carbon at Cristina's Beauty Spa in Garfield, NJ, this treatment delivers what most facials only promise.

The process works in two phases. First, a layer of liquid carbon is applied to the skin, where it seeps into pores and binds to dead skin cells, oil, and impurities. Then, the laser is passed over the skin, vaporizing the carbon along with everything it has attached to. The laser energy also penetrates deeper to stimulate collagen remodeling and tighten the skin.

The result is immediately visible: smaller-looking pores, smoother texture, more even tone, and a radiant glow. Because the treatment is gentle and non-ablative, there is no peeling, redness, or recovery period. You can apply makeup and return to your day right after your session.

Key Benefits

  • Instant glow
  • Pore reduction
  • No downtime

Ideal For

The Hollywood Peel is perfect for clients who want quick, visible results before a special event or as part of a regular skin maintenance routine. It works well for oily or combination skin, enlarged pores, uneven tone, mild acne, and dull complexion. It is gentle enough for most skin types.

What to Expect

After cleansing, a thin layer of medical-grade carbon lotion is applied to your face. You will wait a few minutes for it to absorb into your pores. Cristina then passes the laser over your skin in two rounds: one to heat and shrink the carbon in your pores, and a second to vaporize it from the surface. You may feel a slight warmth and hear light popping sounds. The treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes and requires no numbing cream.

Hollywood Peel FAQs

How often should I get a Hollywood Peel?
For best results, we recommend scheduling sessions every 2 to 4 weeks. Many clients include it in their monthly skincare routine. Since there is no downtime, you can easily fit it into a lunch break or before an evening event.
Will the Hollywood Peel help with acne?
Yes. The laser energy kills acne-causing bacteria, and the carbon draws out impurities from clogged pores. Regular sessions can significantly reduce active breakouts and prevent new ones from forming.
Can I combine the Hollywood Peel with other treatments?
The Hollywood Peel pairs well with many of our other facial treatments. Cristina often recommends it as a prep treatment before deeper therapies like exosome facials or PRP, as it clears the skin surface and enhances absorption of subsequent products.
