Underarms/Knees/Inner thighs Brightening with Hollywood peeling-30 mins

HOW IT WORKS

Hollywood Peeling combines medical-grade activated carbon with Picosecond Laser energy in a two-phase process:

Phase 1 – Carbon Masking: A thin layer of activated carbon paste is applied to the underarm skin. The carbon particles penetrate deep into pores, bonding with dead skin cells, excess sebum, melanin deposits, and surface impurities.

Phase 2 – Laser Activation: The Picosecond Laser targets and instantly vaporises the carbon particles. Firing in ultra-short pulses measured in trillionths of a second, it delivers precise photoacoustic energy into the dermis — shattering hyperpigmentation, stimulating collagen production, and triggering rapid cellular renewal — with significantly less heat than conventional lasers.

The result is a dual-action treatment: deep cleansing from within and targeted pigmentation correction — in a single session with zero downtime.

KEY BENEFITS:

Skin Brightening & Pigmentation Reduction Effectively reduces melanin build-up caused by friction, shaving, waxing, and deodorant use — revealing noticeably lighter, more even-toned skin in as little as 1–2 sessions.

Deep Exfoliation & Skin Renewal Hollywood Peeling’s carbon laser technology removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and stimulates fresh cell turnover — leaving skin smoother and softer to the touch.

Minimises Dark Spots & Discolouration Targets post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) — the dark marks left behind from ingrown hairs, irritation, and repeated friction in skin-fold areas.

Smooths Rough & Bumpy Texture Refines keratosis pilaris (KP), rough patches, and uneven texture commonly found on knees and inner thighs, creating a polished, velvety finish.

Reduces Odour-Causing Bacteria (Underarms) The laser energy eliminates bacteria in the underarm area, helping to reduce body odour while brightening — a dual-action benefit unique to this zone.

Tightens Pores & Refines Skin Laser heat stimulates collagen production and tightens enlarged pores, improving overall skin quality in treated areas.

No Downtime Quick 30-minute session with no peeling, no redness, and no recovery time — clients can return to daily activities immediately.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: 

Q: Is it painful? A: Most clients describe a mild warm or snapping sensation. Because Picosecond Laser delivers energy in ultra-short pulses, it produces less heat than older laser technologies — making it one of the most comfortable laser treatments available.

Q: How many sessions do I need? A: We recommend a course of 2–4 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart, for visible brightening results. Maintenance sessions every 6–8 weeks help sustain the outcome long-term.

Q: When will I see results? A: Many clients notice brighter, smoother skin after the first session. Significant pigmentation reduction is typically visible after 3–4 treatments.

Q: Is it safe for dark skin tones? A: Yes — Picosecond Laser is widely regarded as one of the safest laser technologies for a broad range of skin tones, including darker complexions, due to its minimal thermal impact. A patch test may be recommended prior to a full treatment.

Q: Can I get this treatment if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding? A: No. Laser treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please inform us at the time of booking.

Q: Can I combine this with other treatments? A: Yes. Hollywood Peeling pairs well with diode laser hair removal — ask your therapist about combination packages for best results.

Q: What causes dark underarms in the first place? A: Common causes include repeated shaving, friction from tight clothing, chemical irritation from deodorants, hormonal changes, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Hollywood Peeling addresses all of these at the source.

Q: Is there any downtime? A: None. You can return to your normal routine immediately after the session, with just a few simple aftercare steps to follow.
