Red carpet-ready skin doesn’t always require weeks of downtime or intense treatments. The Hollywood Peel—also known as the Carbon Laser Peel—is a non-invasive, no-downtime facial treatment that leaves your skin smoother, brighter, and more refined in just one session. At VIVE Medical Spa, we offer this popular treatment to clients who want instant radiance and long-term skin health without discomfort or irritation.


What Is the Hollywood Peel?

The Hollywood Peel is a gentle yet powerful laser skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a layer of medical-grade carbon lotion applied to the skin, followed by a pass of laser energy. The carbon absorbs oil, debris, and dead skin, and the laser heats and vaporizes it—exfoliating, unclogging pores, and stimulating collagen in one quick session.

It earned the nickname “Hollywood Peel” because many celebrities rely on it before high-profile events to achieve that glowing, camera-ready complexion. It’s safe for all skin types and tones, and doesn’t require anesthesia, injections, or peeling downtime.


How the Hollywood Peel Works

Here’s what to expect during a Hollywood Peel session:

  1. Cleansing & Carbon Application: Your skin is cleansed and a thin layer of carbon solution is applied to absorb impurities and oil.
  2. Laser Activation: A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is passed over the skin, heating and “popping” the carbon particles, exfoliating dead skin and deeply cleansing pores.
  3. Collagen Stimulation: The laser energy penetrates deeper layers, triggering collagen production and improving elasticity.

The entire procedure takes about 30 minutes and feels like a warm tingling or gentle snapping sensation.


Benefits of the Hollywood Peel

The Hollywood Peel offers both instant and long-term improvements for your skin. Its key benefits include:

  • Brighter, more luminous skin tone after just one session
  • Reduced appearance of pores and smoother skin texture
  • Decreased oiliness and breakouts, making it ideal for acne-prone skin
  • Minimized fine lines and subtle tightening of the skin
  • No downtime, redness, or recovery period
  • Safe for most skin types, including sensitive or darker complexions

It’s the go-to choice for people who want that effortless glow—perfect before weddings, photoshoots, or special events.


Who Should Try the Hollywood Peel?

You’re a great candidate for this treatment if you:

  • Want smoother, clearer skin without harsh chemical peels
  • Have mild acne or oily skin
  • Want to reduce signs of sun damage, dullness, or pigmentation
  • Need a fast, no-recovery treatment with visible results
  • Are looking for a first-time laser treatment with minimal risk

It’s gentle enough for frequent use and effective enough to see results from just one session.

Diamond Glow, formerly known as Dermalinfusion, is an advanced skin treatment that combines exfoliation, extraction, and infusion in a single, painless procedure. At VIVE Medical Spa, we offer this innovative treatment to help clients achieve smoother, clearer, and more hydrated skin with minimal downtime. Understanding how Diamond Glow works can help you appreciate why it stands out among facial treatments and why it’s ideal for those seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Exfoliation: The First Crucial Step

The process begins with exfoliation using a diamond-tipped wand that gently abrades the surface layer of dead skin cells. Unlike traditional scrubs, Diamond Glow’s precise and controlled exfoliation reveals fresher, healthier skin underneath without irritation.

This step smooths rough texture, evens out tone, and prepares your skin to absorb nourishing serums. Removing dead skin also unclogs pores and reduces the likelihood of breakouts, setting the stage for the next phases of treatment.

Extraction: Deep Pore Cleansing Without Discomfort

After exfoliation, Diamond Glow performs gentle yet effective extraction. The same wand uses vacuum technology to suction out impurities, excess oil, and debris lodged in the pores.

This painless extraction cleans deeply without the redness or irritation often associated with manual extractions. The thorough pore cleansing helps reduce blackheads, whiteheads, and acne, promoting a clearer complexion over time.

Infusion: Delivering Customized Nutrients for Lasting Results

The final phase of Diamond Glow infuses your skin with specially formulated serums tailored to your skin type and concerns. Whether you need intense hydration, brightening agents, anti-aging peptides, or calming botanicals, this infusion penetrates deeply to nourish and revitalize your skin.

By combining exfoliation, extraction, and infusion, Diamond Glow maximizes absorption and effectiveness, delivering immediate visible improvements and building long-term skin health.

Benefits of Diamond Glow Treatments at VIVE Medical Spa

  • Smoother, radiant skin texture thanks to diamond exfoliation
  • Clearer pores and reduced breakouts through gentle vacuum extraction
