Hollywood Spectra™ by Lutronic
What Is the Hollywood Spectra Laser?
Hollywood Spectra by Lutronic, a leading name in aesthetic technology, is an ultra-short pulse Q-switched laser capable of delivering two different wavelengths depending on your needs: 1064 nm and 532 nm. This gives the Hollywood Spectra more versatility than similar lasers in its class and allows it to target a wider range of concerns with speed and precision — from unwanted pigmentation and enlarged pores to acne scars and other textural irregularities.
One of the most exciting and popular treatments we offer — the Hollywood Laser Peel — is performed using the Hollywood Spectra platform. This advanced facial involves applying a carbon-based lotion to the skin, which looks and feels like a charcoal mask but is designed to absorb impurities and enhance the effectiveness of the laser. Treatment takes about 30 minutes to complete from start to finish and involves minimal downtime for the perfect lunchtime peel.
Hollywood Spectra was the first FDA-cleared device for the treatment of melasma, a common but difficult-to-treat condition that causes brown, black or gray patches to appear on the skin. However, this laser is also effective for enlarged pores and facial scarring. At U Laser Med Spa, our team will evaluate your concerns and develop a personalized treatment to help you achieve smooth, glowing skin that is healthy, youthful and free from unwanted pigment.
Concerns That Can Be Treated With Hollywood Spectra
While the Hollywood Spectra laser is a powerhouse for unwanted pigmentation and textural irregularities, it can also address other concerns, including the following:
- Acne scars
- Rough, bumpy skin texture
- Sun damage
- Melasma
- Enlarged pores
- Pigmentation issues
- Fine lines
- Unwanted tattoos
Ideal Candidates for the Hollywood Spectra Laser
Hollywood Spectra is known for its precision and versatility, making it a popular choice for men and women seeking to address specific concerns and improve their skin’s appearance. This device is powerful enough to break up unwanted pigment but gentle enough to be used on the face and safe for all skin types. If you’re considering the Hollywood Spectra laser, it may be right for you if:
- You’re looking to improve the appearance of melasma or other pigmentation issues
- You have icepick, rolling or boxcar acne scars
- Your skin has a rough, bumpy or uneven texture
- You have enlarged pores and are prone to acne
- You don’t have a history of keloids
- You want to improve your skin’s health and appearance
- You’re in good health and have realistic expectations about your results
During an initial consultation, our team will evaluate your concerns to determine if Hollywood Spectra is the best option for achieving your goals. Then, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan designed to address your exact needs and deliver the long-lasting results you want.
What to Expect During Treatment
Depending on your treatment plan, a carbon-based lotion is first applied to absorb dead skin cells, oil and other impurities and enhance the laser’s effectiveness. Your provider will then guide the device’s handpiece over the treatment area, making single or multiple passes to target your specific concerns. You may feel a warm, snapping sensation against your skin as the laser works, but this is normal and shouldn’t be too painful. Various treatment modes are available, and your provider can adjust the device for more sensitive areas to ensure your comfort.
After your procedure, a cooling gel or balm may be applied to soothe the skin, reduce irritation and keep side effects like redness or swelling to a minimum. You’ll be sent home with detailed aftercare instructions and advised to avoid sun exposure while your skin heals. If multiple treatments are needed to achieve your goals, it will be scheduled before you leave our clinic.
Hollywood Spectra Recovery & Results
Recovering from the Hollywood Spectra laser is typically quick and easy, thanks to the noninvasive nature of treatment. However, there are some considerations to keep in mind for the best possible outcome. Here’s what you can expect regarding your recovery and results.
Recovery
- Minimal Downtime: One significant advantage of the Hollywood Spectra laser is the minimal downtime it requires. Most patients can resume all normal activities with no downtime after treatment. There may be slight redness or swelling in treated areas, but these symptoms usually subside within a few hours to a day.
- Aftercare: Protect the skin from direct sunlight following your procedure and apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 or higher. We also advise following a gentle skincare routine and avoiding abrasive scrubs or cleansers as the skin heals.
- Hydration: Keeping the skin hydrated will promote optimal healing. Use gentle moisturizers to help soothe the skin and reduce side effects like redness or irritation. Avoiding alcohol-based toners and harsh ingredients is also recommended.
- Monitoring: Keep an eye on your skin’s response to the treatment. Any signs of unusual reactions should be reported immediately.
Results
- Gradual Improvements: The results from Hollywood Spectra treatments are often gradual and progressive. As the skin heals, it rejuvenates from within, leaving your complexion clearer and more vibrant. For acne scars, melasma or tattoo removal, multiple sessions are typically needed for the best results.
- Longevity: The longevity of your results can vary based on your skin’s condition and lifestyle. Our team may recommend a professional-grade skincare routine to prolong the effects of treatment.
- Visible Changes: Patients typically notice an improvement in skin tone and texture immediately after their first session. A reduction in pigmentation, fine lines and acne scars becomes more evident with successive treatments.
- Safety: The Hollywood Spectra laser is known for its safety and efficacy across various skin types. It provides a reliable solution for those looking to improve their skin’s appearance without significant risks or downtime.
Hollywood Spectra is an effective solution for those looking to enhance their appearance with minimal interruption to their daily lives. Each treatment session builds upon the last, leading to cumulative and sustained improvements that keep your skin healthy and glowing long-term. You can also optimize your results by combining your Hollywood Spectra treatment with Potenza, a radiofrequency (RF) microneedling device that improves skin firmness, volume and elasticity.

Frequently Asked Questions
SHOW LESS
Is treatment painful?
The Hollywood Spectra laser is well-tolerated by most patients. For aesthetic treatments, the most commonly reported sensations include prickling and warmth as the laser works to rejuvenate the skin. After treatment, ice packs and cold compresses can be used to calm and soothe the skin.
How long will my results last?
The longevity of your results could vary depending on your needs and goals. The Hollywood Spectra laser can be used as a one-and-done treatment before a big event to rejuvenate your appearance — these results can be expected to last for several weeks. With repeat sessions, you can significantly improve the appearance of textural issues like acne scars and prolong your results indefinitely.
How many treatments will I need?
You will start to see results after a single treatment. However, the best outcome will be achieved after a series of sessions — we recommend at least three for optimal rejuvenation, or up to six if you’re treating pigmentation concerns such as melasma. Once you achieve your goals, we recommend once-monthly treatments to maintain your results.
Can the Hollywood Spectra laser be used on all skin types?
Yes, the Hollywood Spectra laser is safe for all skin types. Its settings can be adjusted to suit different skin tones and conditions, making it a flexible option for a diverse range of patients.
How should I prepare for treatment?
Hollywood Spectra involves little to no preparation to get the most out of your treatment — however, our team may recommend avoiding sun exposure and the use of retinols or other irritating products for at least one week before your appointment. During your consultation, we will provide you with any instructions or guidelines to help you prepare for treatment.
