The Hollywood Carbon Facial is a three-step process that uses a carbon mask and advanced laser technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and rejuvenate the skin.
This treatment targets fine lines, large pores, uneven texture, and acne scars. By stimulating collagen production and removing impurities, the facial leaves your skin brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking.
The process begins with the application of a carbon-based lotion to your face. This mask acts as a magnet for dirt, oil, dead skin cells, and impurities. As the carbon dries, it bonds to these particles on the skin’s surface. The mask also preps the skin for deep exfoliation and pore refinement.
Once the carbon mask has fully dried, the clinician uses a high-energy laser to activate the carbon particles. This process creates a photo-thermal reaction, causing the carbon to heat up and absorb impurities from deep within the pores.
The laser’s heat stimulates collagen production in the dermis, promoting firmer, tighter, and more youthful skin. Clients often describe this step as a warm, tingling sensation on the skin.
As the laser shatters the carbon, it takes with it dirt, oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells that were bonded to the mask. This process provides a powerful form of deep exfoliation. This results in smoother texture, tighter pores, and a more even complexion.
It also reduces acne-causing bacteria, making it an excellent treatment for people dealing with breakouts or oily skin.
After your Hollywood Carbon Facial at Vive Med Spa, you may experience mild redness or warmth for a few hours. Our expert clinicians provide aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.

A Carbon Peel, also known as a Hollywood Carbon Facial or Hollywood Laser Peel, is a non-invasive laser treatment that uses a carbon-based mask and laser technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and rejuvenate the skin. The carbon mask absorbs oil, dirt, and dead skin cells, which are then vaporized by the laser. This process minimizes pores, reduces fine lines, and enhances skin texture for a brighter, smoother complexion.
The Hollywood Carbon Peel is a safe, non-invasive treatment with minimal side effects. After treatment, some clients may experience mild redness or warmth, similar to a slight sun-kissed glow, which typically fades within a few hours. Our clinicians provide post-treatment care instructions to ensure your skin heals quickly and maintains its glow.
No, the Hollywood Carbon Peel is a pain-free treatment. Most clients describe the sensation as a light tingling or warmth on the skin as the laser activates the carbon mask. Unlike traditional laser treatments, there’s no discomfort, no need for numbing, and no downtime required.
Results from a Hollywood Carbon Facial are noticeable immediately, with smoother, brighter, and clearer skin. While results can last 2-3 weeks, they improve over multiple sessions as collagen production increases. For long-term results, our clinicians recommend a series of treatments spaced every 3-4 weeks.
A Carbon Peel treatment takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes. This includes skin cleansing, carbon mask application, laser activation, and exfoliation. It’s often referred to as a “lunchtime facial” because you can return to daily activities immediately afterward.
No, there is no downtime required after a Hollywood Carbon Peel. You may experience mild redness or warmth immediately following the treatment, but it subsides within a few hours. You can return to work or your daily routine right after your appointment.
You’ll see noticeable improvements in skin clarity, smoothness, and glow after a single treatment. However, for optimal and long-lasting results, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart is recommended. Regular sessions help maintain your skin’s brightness, reduce acne scars, and stimulate collagen production.
Yes, you can apply makeup immediately after a Carbon Peel. However, our clinicians recommend waiting 24 hours to allow your skin to fully recover and avoid irritation. If you must wear makeup, choose mineral-based, non-comedogenic products to avoid clogging pores.
Absolutely! The Hollywood Carbon Peel works well with other treatments, including microneedling, chemical peels, and Laser Genesis. Combining treatments allows you to address multiple skin concerns, such as pigmentation, fine lines, and texture issues. During your consultation at Vive Med Spa, our clinicians will create a customized treatment plan tailored to your skin’s specific needs.
