Hollywood Spectra
The Hollywood Spectra is a cutting-edge laser platform known for its ability to reduce unwanted skin pigmentation and restore a radiant complexion. As the first short-pulse laser to earn FDA clearance for treating melasma, it offers safe and effective treatments with minimal patient downtime.

Its advanced technology enables practitioners to perform the popular Hollywood Spectra laser peel, a gentle procedure that exfoliates dead skin cells, helps with the stimulation of collagen production, and brightens patient complexions.
How Hollywood Spectra works
Two wavelengths, many skin layers.
The Hollywood Spectra leverages its proprietary capabilities, including unmatched short pulse widths and high peak power, to deliver safe treatments for a wide range of skin concerns. Its dual wavelengths (1064nm and 532nm) make it a unique treatment option for multiple skin layers which ensures minimal discomfort to the patients.
The laser energy targets pigmented lesions, melanin, and acne scars, breaking them into smaller particles that the body naturally eliminates. This process reduces unwanted pigmentation and evens out the skin tone.
By stimulating collagen and elastin production, the treatment enhances skin texture, reduces fine lines, and restores a youthful appearance.
When used with carbon particles, the Hollywood Laser Peel effectively removes dead skin cells from the skin surface, tightens pores, and boosts the skin's natural glow.
