Hollywood Spectra

The Hollywood Spectra is an innovative laser system that has gained significant recognition in the field of dermatology. It is a versatile Q-switched Nd:YAG laser that utilizes a combination of high-energy pulses and dual-pulse technology to effectively treat a variety of skin concerns. It is also the only known nano-acoustic laser, with an innovative laser shockwave produced with each pulse. The Hollywood Spectra is renowned for its exceptional performance and ability to deliver impressive results across multiple treatment areas.

This advanced laser system is designed to address a wide range of skin conditions, including pigmentation disorders, tattoo removal, acne, and overall skin rejuvenation. It works by emitting high-energy laser pulses that selectively target pigmented lesions, such as freckles, sunspots, and melasma. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in these pigmented areas, breaking down the pigment particles into smaller fragments that are naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system.

One of the standout features of the Hollywood Spectra is its ability to safely and effectively remove tattoos. The laser’s powerful energy pulses penetrate the skin, breaking down the tattoo ink particles into smaller fragments that are gradually absorbed by the body. This allows for significant tattoo lightening or complete removal, depending on the patient’s desired outcome. The Hollywood Spectra offers customizable settings to accommodate different tattoo colors and sizes, making it a versatile and highly effective option for tattoo removal.

Compared to other laser systems currently available, the Hollywood Spectra offers several notable advantages. Its dual-pulse technology allows for precise targeting of pigmented lesions while minimizing thermal damage to the surrounding tissues. This feature ensures greater safety and reduced downtime for patients. The Hollywood Spectra also incorporates a Spectra Peel mode, which utilizes a carbon lotion to enhance the laser’s exfoliation and rejuvenation effects, resulting in a brighter and smoother complexion.

I love Dr Higgins ! I’ve been a patient with her for the last two years. I originally came to see her because I was struggling with painful hormonal acne and a lot of hyper pigmentation issues. Two years later my skin is GLOWING and my confidence is up! Dr Higgins is so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable. She cares for all her patients like they are her family. I even come to the office twice a month now to see Bella for extraction facials that are covered by my insurance (incredible! unheard of! a $30 professional facial!). The team at the front desk are so sweet and also make sure that my favorite snacks are stocked in the waiting room when I come in, and are always really helpful when I need to coordinate my medication refills. I have recommended lots of my friends to see Dr Higgins for everything from acne issues to hair loss treatments. Dr Higgins is such a gem and I’m so happy I found her !

Quick, professional, and thorough! I was in and out within 20-30 minutes from arrival time. They resolved all of my issues regarding my skin as well as provided detailed information on recovery and treatment. I’ve already referred other patients who also had similar experiences.
