At Metropolis Dermatology in Costa Mesa, CA, we are proud to offer Hollywood Spectra, a cutting-edge laser treatment that rejuvenates the skin by targeting pigmentation, acne scars, and signs of aging. This advanced laser technology provides non-invasive, highly effective results, making it an excellent option for those seeking a brighter, more even complexion without significant downtime.

What Is Hollywood Spectra?

Hollywood Spectra is an FDA-approved Q-switched Nd:YAG laser that delivers high-energy pulses to break down unwanted pigmentation and stimulate collagen production. Using nano-acoustic technology, this laser is designed to:

  • Eliminate Pigmentation: Reduces melasma, freckles, and sunspots.
  • Improve Skin Texture: Helps minimize pores and smooth rough skin.
  • Stimulate Collagen: Reduces fine lines and wrinkles for firmer skin.
  • Fade Acne Scars: Encourages skin remodeling and enhances clarity.
  • Perform Gentle Tattoo Removal: Effective for lightening unwanted tattoos.

This laser system is also highly customizable, making it suitable for all skin types and tones.

 

How Does Hollywood Spectra Work?

Hollywood Spectra works by delivering precise laser energy into the skin, breaking apart pigment clusters while stimulating the body’s natural healing response. The laser energy also heats deeper layers of the skin, triggering collagen remodeling for a more youthful and refined complexion.

Here’s the step by step procedure:

  • Consultation: We assess your skin type, concerns, and goals to customize your treatment.
  • Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and protective eyewear is provided.
  • Laser Application: Controlled laser pulses target specific areas, reducing pigmentation and promoting collagen.
  • Post-Treatment Care: Sunscreen and hydration are recommended to maximize results and protect your skin.

Hollywood Spectra is known for its famous Hollywood Laser Peel, a gentle yet effective resurfacing treatment that instantly brightens the skin, leaving it refreshed and radiant.

 

Benefits

  • No Downtime: Resume daily activities immediately after treatment.
  • Safe for All Skin Types: Suitable for a wide range of complexions.
  • Fast & Effective: Noticeable skin improvements in just one session.
  • Non-Invasive & Painless: Most patients report only a mild warming sensation.
  • Multi-Purpose Treatment: Addresses multiple skin concerns in one session.

I have been going to Metropolis Dermatology for about two years now, and it has been, and continues to be, a wonderful experience. The staff are always friendly, thorough, and welcoming. They make everything run so smoothly, and I appreciate how prompt they are in answering any questions I have. But the star of the show is Dr. Shauna Higgins! I could spend all day writing about what an incredible physician she is. She is the kind of doctor people wish for. She’s incredibly caring, so attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. At every appointment with her, I walk out feeling seen and heard, and I always leave with a smile on my face. Prior to coming to her, I was struggling with my skin in many ways, but she has completely fixed all of those issues! If I could have her as all of my doctors, I absolutely would.

They have snacks, tea, coffee , and water for you. The staff is very nice and pleasant. One staff suggested a nice restaurant and bakery . Dr. Higgins is excellent and has great communication skills. I asked a few questions and she gladly answered. Some doctors are short and blunt and you don't feel comfortable asking questions. I'm glad Metropolis is not that type of medical facility . The staff are courteous, the place is clean and they have snacks!
