Carbon Laser Facial (Hollywood Laser Peel®)

A thin layer of carbon absorbs oil, impurities, and dead skin cells. The laser then works in two phases, first gently heating the skin to stimulate collagen, then vaporizing the carbon and taking debris and surface imperfections with it. Results are visible immediately, making it a favorite before weddings, photo shoots, and special events.

  • Dull or uneven skin tone
  • Active acne and oily skin
  • Enlarged pores or mild textural issues
  • Event prep with no downtime

  • Face, neck, or chest$210
  • Hands$210
  • Arms (hands to elbows)$350
  • Legs (below knee)$400

Classic Laser Toning uses the Spectra Q-Switched 1064nm laser in PTP+ mode, ultra-short, low-fluence pulses delivered in rapid succession. This gentle, multi-pass energy breaks up unwanted pigmentation, fades melasma, and stimulates collagen for firmer, brighter, more even skin. Because the energy is dispersed gradually, it's safe for most skin types, including Fitzpatrick IV–V, with no peeling or downtime. $210 per session.

  • Melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Uneven tone and dull complexion
  • Mild textural irregularities
  • Progressive firming and brightening with each session

post-procedure instructions

  • Cool the treated area — 20 minutes every hour for 12 hours. After any tattoo removal session, a cooling pack (65–72°F) must be applied for 20 minutes every hour for 12 hours after the procedure, or as needed for burning or pulsing sensations. Keep enough chilled packs ready for consistent application.
  • No makeup or skincare on the treated area for at least 24 hours. Makeup and topical products can irritate the treated skin and delay healing.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure. Wear a wide-brimmed hat and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when outdoors for at least two weeks. Avoid tanning beds entirely.
  • Skip heat and sweating for three days. Avoid saunas, hot tubs, and vigorous exercise.
  • Don’t pick at or scratch the treated area. If scabs or crusting develop, let them heal naturally to avoid scarring.
  • Keep the treated area clean and dry. Gently cleanse with mild soap and lukewarm water — no harsh scrubbing.
  • Use pain relief as needed. Over-the-counter Tylenol (acetaminophen) is fine; avoid NSAIDs such as aspirin or ibuprofen during the first 48 hours, as they may increase bruising.
  • Moisturize to support healing. Apply the recommended ointment to maintain hydration and protect the skin.
  • Watch for signs of infection. Contact us immediately for redness, swelling, or discomfort lasting more than 2 days — or any discharge, foul odor, or fever.
  • Plan follow-up appointments as advised. Multiple sessions over 4–8 months may be necessary for optimal results — ask Yulia about your case.
  • Avoid smoking and alcohol. Both slow healing and raise the risk of complications.
  • Stay hydrated and eat well. Proper nutrition and hydration support faster recovery and healthier skin.

Comfort · Zimmer Cryo 6

cool air, less pain

Laser sessions are paired with the Zimmer Cryo 6, a medical skin chiller that streams cold air onto the treatment area before, during, and after each pass. It numbs the surface of the skin, so treatments feel far more comfortable, and it draws heat away to calm redness and swelling afterward.

  • Less discomfort during every pulse
  • Protects your skin from heat build-up
  • Less redness & swelling after treatment
  • Touch-free: no ice packs or gels, airflow adjusted to you

Honest aftercare: most treatments have zero downtime. When mild redness occurs, we send you home with a simple protocol: SPF protection and a short break from retinols and harsh actives.

Common Questions

laser faq

Do you use a Hollywood Spectra laser?

Yes. Carbon peels, acne peels, and laser toning at our Kirkland studio use a Hollywood Laser Spectra system. Tattoo removal is also done in-studio. Book a 30-minute consultation ($50) if you want us to confirm Spectra is the right tool for your skin or ink.

Is there any downtime after a laser treatment?

Most of our laser treatments, including the Carbon Laser Peel, require little to no downtime, making them a great option before special events. However, when treating pigmentation concerns such as sunspots or melasma, the skin may temporarily appear red, swollen, or irritated. MDF Toning may involve some downtime, while laser tattoo removal requires a healing period and proper cooling and care of the treated area. After any laser treatment, we recommend using SPF protection and avoiding retinol, exfoliants, and other harsh active ingredients for several days. Please refer to the aftercare instructions above for more detailed information.

How many tattoo removal sessions will I need?

It depends on the tattoo's depth, density, location, ink colors, age, and whether it's amateur or professional work, as well as your skin tone and immune response. Sessions are spaced 4 weeks apart for face tattoos and 8 weeks apart for body tattoos, allowing safe healing and ink clearance. Book a 30-minute consultation ($50) and we'll assess your tattoo and map out a realistic treatment plan.

Are laser treatments safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. We use the Spectra Q-Switched 1064nm laser with PTP+ mode, which delivers ultra-short, low-fluence pulses in rapid succession. This disperses energy more gradually, reducing the risk of rebound pigmentation or irritation, making it safe for most skin types, including Fitzpatrick IV–V.

What's the difference between the Carbon Peel and the Acne Peel?

Both start the same way: a carbon lotion binds oil and impurities, then the laser heats and vaporizes it for a deep cleanse and exfoliation. The Acne Peel adds a third pass in Spectra Mode, longer-pulse thermal energy directed at active breakouts to calm inflammation and reduce acne activity. The Carbon Peel ($210) is the glow treatment; the Acne Peel ($210) is the breakout-fighter.

Does laser tattoo removal hurt?

Most clients describe quick snaps against the skin — briefly uncomfortable, but over fast. We keep pain to a minimum with our Zimmer cryo chiller, which bathes the area in icy-cold air throughout the procedure, and each session is super quick. Afterward the skin may be a little red or swollen for a short time, but it isn't painful. There's no surgery, no chemicals and no damage to surrounding skin or hair, which is why we can safely treat delicate areas like eyebrow tattoos or even eyelids.

How should I care for my skin afterward?

Keep it simple: diligent SPF protection, and skip retinols and harsh active ingredients for several days. For resurfacing and toning treatments, results continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen rebuilds, and a series of sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, delivers the best long-term outcome.
