Get red carpet-worthy skin with the Hollywood Laser Peel®: A guide to laser resurfacing for all skin types
You don’t have to be a celebrity or famous face to enjoy a red carpet-worthy “glow.” At Melanie L. Adams, M.D., P.A. Dermatology office in Columbia, Maryland, we use a sophisticated laser platform to support the innovative Hollywood Laser Peel®. Unlike earlier-generation laser treatment, this system gets results without unwanted side effects and complications for patients of all skin types and skin tones. So, you can undergo treatment without worry and look forward to your glamorous glow!
What makes the Hollywood Laser Peel® so different from other lasers?
The Hollywood Spectra™ platform is designed to generate and deliver unique nanosecond pulses. These laser pulses reduce obvious signs of pigment problems and discoloration while brightening skin tone and softening texture-related irregularities, such as fine lines. Additionally, our professionals apply a proprietary carbon lotion to prep the skin. The laser activates this revolutionary product. Then, the carbon bonds with the cells on the outermost layer of your skin. As the laser sweeps over the treatment site, it gently lifts the lotion and removes dead and damaged cells and debris from the skin and pores. It’s like giving your skin a new start!
Great! How do I get started?
Well, first, Dr. Adams will need to evaluate your skin. She will also discuss your goals and preferences during a consultation. You may benefit from this process if you have signs of sun damage/photoaging and aging in general on your face and other parts of your body. It can even be used to rejuvenate and “glow up” areas such as the neck, decolletage, and the backs of the hands.
What is treatment like?
The Hollywood Laser Peel® is so well-tolerated that even local anesthetic or numbing is unnecessary. Most patients describe the application of the laser to the skin as a mild and temporary warmth and “snapping” sensation. Again, this occurs only as the laser gently glides over the damaged skin. Treatment can be done in 20 minutes, and no downtime is required.
Will I need more than one treatment to see results?
You can leave our office with a better skin tone than when you arrived. In turn, all that may be required to get your renewed glow and improved clarity is a single treatment. However, many patients opt for a series of three treatment sessions. Performed monthly, these sessions support dramatic and sustained improvements. Patients appreciate that they can treat their active acne indefinitely without applying topical medications or taking oral meds to keep their skin clear. It is a great option for active and busy teens, parents, and working professionals. You don’t have to be a member of the Hollywood elite to “wow” with your close-up-ready skin.
We welcome any questions that you may have. To schedule your consultation at Melanie L. Adams, M.D., P.A. Dermatology, call (410) 910-2366 to speak with a team member in Columbia, MD, today.
