  • The Spectra Carbon Peel, also known as the Hollywood Peel, is a no-downtime laser treatment that includes patented facial carbon lotion application that adheres to the skin and absorbs any excess oil, followed by the laser removal of the carbon lotion. This helps to exfoliate and revitalize your skin, clear acne causing bacteria, build collagen, and break down brown spots. Laving your skin red carpet ready!

    • The Process: A layer of specialized liquid carbon is applied to the skin, which penetrates deep into the pores. The laser is attracted to the carbon particles and “blasts” it away, taking any dead skin cells, acne bacteria, and excess oil with it.

      The Result: This process exfoliates the skin and uses thermal energy to stimulate collagen production, leaving you with a refreshed, glowing complexion.

  • The Spectra Carbon Peel, also known as the “Hollywood Peel” is a red-carpet favourite because it provides an instant glow. It is particularly effective for:


    Acne & Oil Control: Reducing acne-causing bacteria and shrinking sebaceous glands to lower oil production.

    Pore Refinement: Deeply clearing out and minimizing the appearance of enlarged pores.

    Skin Texture: Smoothing fine lines by increasing collagen production and improving uneven skin tone.

    Pigmentation: Fading acne scars, sun damage and brown spots.

For the ultimate skin transformation, we love pairing the Carbon Peel with IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). While the Carbon Peel focuses on texture, pores, acne scars, melasma and deep cleansing, IPL targets deeper redness and stubborn sun damage. Using them in combination provides a comprehensive “total skin reset”, leaving your skin clear, bright, and evenly toned.

Pairing these services provides a comprehensive “ total skin reset”, leaving your complexion exceptionally clear, smooth, and glowing. During your consultation, we will discuss a customized plan tailored to your skin and, if applicable, combine these technologies for the best long-lasting results.


The cost for a combination treatment of the Spectra Carbon Peel and the IPL Photofacial is $200.00 per treatment.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) Photofacial

IPL is the go-to treatment for effectively lifting pigment spots caused by sun damage and addressing facial redness. It is the gold standard for treating rosacea and visible broken capillaries, helping you achieve a bright, clear, and even skin tone.

  • IPL uses a broad spectrum of light (similar to a powerful camera flash). This light is attracted to the specific targets in your skin: brown spots (melanin) and redness (hemoglobin).

    • We apply a layer of cold conductive gel to the skin to help the penetration of the light energy and keep you comfortable.

    • You will be wearing protective eyewear but can still expect to see some flashes of light.

    • As the laser moves over your skin, you will feel a sensation often compared to the snap of a rubber band.

    • Each session typically takes 20-30 minutes

  • Ideal for:

    • Sun Damage & Age Spots: Fading brown hyperpigmentation and freckles.

    • Rosacea & Redness: Reducing facial flushing and broken capillaries.

    • Skin Brightening: Evening out the overall complexion of your skin.

    • Collagen Support: The gentle heating of the skin can help improve fine lines and skin texture.

IPL Frequently Asked Questions

    • No Sun Exposure: You must avoid direct sun, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least 4 weeks before treatment. We cannot treat tanned skin.

    • No Actives: Avoid using Retinols, AHA’s/BHA’s, and exfoliation acids for 5-7 days prior.

    • Medications: Some antibiotics and acne medications are photosensitive and can increase light sensitivity. Please notify us if you are taking any photosensitizing medications.

    • The “Coffee Ground” Effect: This is the most important part of IPL! Within 24-48 hours, your brown spots will turn darker and may look like small coffee ground on the skin. Do not pick or scrub them. They will naturally slough off within 7-10 days, revealing fresh skin underneath.

    • Redness: Your skin may feel like it has a mild sunburn for 12-24 hours. Using a cold compress can help alleviate this sensation.

    • Sun Protection: Your skin is highly vulnerable after IPL. Apply SPF 30+ daily and wear a hat outdoors for 4 weeks post treatment.

    • Gentle and Light Products: Use a mild cleanser and moisturizer. Avoid using thick products for the first 48 hours.

    • Heat and Sweating: Avoid hot showers and heavy exercise for 48 hours.

  • While you will see an improvement after just 1 session, IPL works best as a cumulative treatment.

    Initial Series: We typically recommend 3-5 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart.

    Maintenance: Once your desired results are achieved. We recommend 1-2 sessions per year to manage any new sun damage or redness that occurs over time.
