Hollywood facial
The Hollywood facial combines deep cleansing with laser toning for a bright, even, camera-ready glow. It is a favourite before weddings, receptions and photo shoots.
How it works
The Hollywood facial is a laser glow facial. After cleansing, a carbon lotion is applied and lifted off with a Q-switched laser to clean pores, and then the laser is used in a gentle toning mode over the whole face to even out tone. It finishes with a soothing serum and mask.
There is no peeling or redness worth mentioning, which is why it is popular in the week before weddings, engagements and photo shoots. It takes about 45 minutes.
