Previously researching PicoSure Pro?
RJ Clinic has transitioned to Hollywood Spectra, a multi-wavelength laser platform that offers broader protocol flexibility for Asian skin and pigment-prone conditions.
A doctor consultation will determine whether Hollywood Spectra or another laser is more suitable for your skin condition.
Patients comparing this treatment may also want to read our detailed overview of PicoSure Pro laser treatment, including why RJ Clinic transitioned to broader multi-protocol platforms.
What is Hollywood Spectra Laser?
Hollywood Spectra is a multi-wavelength Q-switched Nd:YAG laser system that delivers ultra-short laser pulses to target pigment, improve skin clarity, and stimulate dermal renewal — without excessive heat injury.
Unlike single-purpose laser systems, Hollywood Spectra allows doctors to select different wavelengths, pulse widths, and modes depending on the skin condition being treated.
This flexibility is critical when treating Asian skin, which is more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and melasma relapse.
Laser Handpieces Available at RJ Clinic
Hollywood Spectra is a multi-protocol laser platform.
At RJ Clinic, we use the full range of handpieces, allowing doctors to customise treatment depth, energy delivery, and protocol — rather than relying on a single fixed laser setting.
Not every handpiece is used in every session.
Selection depends on diagnosis, skin type, and treatment goals.
Why Hollywood Spectra Is Well-Suited for Asian Skin
Asian skin has higher melanocyte activity, which increases the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation. Hollywood Spectra allows doctors to deliver controlled energy with lower thermal spread, reducing rebound risk when protocols are followed.
Hollywood Spectra addresses these risks through:
-
Controlled pulse duration
-
Reduced thermal spread
-
Protocol-based energy selection
-
Gradual, cumulative treatment planning
At RJ Clinic, no fixed presets are used for pigment conditions — parameters are adjusted based on skin response.
Hollywood Spectra Laser – Treatment Overview
Hollywood Spectra is often combined with medical skincare or maintenance facials as part of long-term pigment control.
Procedure Time
• 20–30 minutes (Hollywood Laser Peel)
• Up to 45 minutes (pigmentation or protocol-based treatments)
Back to work
• Same day or next day for most patients
Results
• Laser peel: immediate glow, smoother skin texture
• Pigmentation protocols: gradual improvement over 1–3 weeks
Anesthetic
• Numbing cream provided when required
• Most laser peel sessions do not require anaesthesia
Downtime
• Minimal
• Mild redness or warmth may last a few hours
• Some patients experience mild dryness for 1–2 days
Results Duration
• Laser peel: weeks (maintenance recommended)
• Pigmentation/melasma protocols: months, depending on skin type, sun exposure, and home care
Hollywood Laser Peel vs Soft Peel vs Melasma Protocol
Not all patients receive the same laser protocol.
The treatment mode is selected based on skin condition and pigment behaviour.
Hollywood Laser Peel
Hollywood Laser Peel is a carbon-assisted laser treatment commonly chosen by patients seeking refreshed, brighter skin with minimal downtime.
A thin layer of medical carbon lotion is applied before laser activation.
The laser energy interacts with the carbon particles to help:
-
Gently exfoliate the skin surface
-
Reduce congestion and oiliness
-
Improve skin brightness
-
Refine pores
-
Calm inflammation-prone skin
Common reasons patients choose Hollywood Laser Peel:
-
Dull or tired-looking skin
-
Enlarged pores
-
Oily or congested skin
-
Uneven tone
-
Event-ready skin refresh
Important note:
Hollywood Laser Peel is not the default treatment for melasma-prone skin. Patients with melasma require a different, more conservative approach to reduce rebound risk.
The term “Hollywood laser peel” is often used loosely to describe carbon laser facials.
However, not all carbon peels are performed using the Hollywood Spectra laser platform. Different clinics may use different Q-switched lasers, settings, or devices under the same name.
At RJ Clinic, when we refer to Hollywood Laser Peel, it is performed using the Lutronic Hollywood Spectra platform, with doctor-planned protocols and parameter selection based on skin type and pigment risk.
Patients are encouraged to ask which laser system is being used, especially if they have melasma-prone or sensitive skin.
“Hollywood Laser Peel” – Not All Are the Same
Hollywood Spectra vs Pico Laser
– What’s the Difference?
Hollywood Spectra and pico lasers are different technologies, each with specific strengths.
For patients with melasma-prone or reactive skin, laser choice depends more on protocol planning than pulse duration alone, which we explain further in our melasma management approach.
Key point:
For melasma and pigmentation, success depends less on “pico vs non-pico” and more on correct diagnosis, conservative settings, and maintenance planning.
A more aggressive laser is not always the better option.
Benefits of Hollywood Spectra Laser
Why Choose RJ Clinic for Hollywood Spectra Laser
Doctor-Planned, Not Machine-Driven
At RJ Clinic, Hollywood Spectra treatments are planned and supervised by doctors. Parameters, wavelengths, and protocols are adjusted based on skin type, pigment behaviour, and treatment response — not fixed presets.
Experience With Melasma-Prone Asian Skin
Asian skin has higher melanocyte activity and higher risk of rebound pigmentation. Our protocols prioritise controlled energy delivery, gradual improvement, and long-term skin stability rather than aggressive short-term results.
Full Handpiece Capability, Complete Protocols
RJ Clinic uses the full range of Hollywood Spectra handpieces. This allows customised treatment depth and energy delivery instead of relying on a single wavelength for all concerns.
Multi-Outlet Availability & Continuity of Care
Hollywood Spectra Laser is available at RJ Clinic Segambut and RJ Clinic Ativo Plaza, with consistent protocols and follow-up planning across outlets.
Hollywood Spectra is generally well tolerated when performed under medical supervision.
Possible temporary effects include:
-
Mild redness
-
Warm sensation
-
Transient dryness or sensitivity
These usually resolve within hours to a few days. Serious complications are uncommon when appropriate protocols are followed.
Patients with melasma or sensitive skin require careful assessment and conservative settings to minimise rebound risk.
Hollywood Spectra Laser – Side Effects & Safety
Advanced Laser Technology Behind Hollywood Spectra
HyperSurge™ Resonator Technology
Hollywood Spectra is built with Lutronic’s proprietary HyperSurge™ resonator, which produces a stable, homogenous laser beam even at high peak power.
Clinical benefits:
-
Uniform energy delivery
-
Reduced hot spots
-
Lower risk of pigment rebound
-
More predictable results across sessions
Ultra-Short Pulse Widths (as low as 5 nanoseconds)
Hollywood Spectra delivers energy in ultra-short 5 ns pulses, allowing:
-
Photo-mechanical pigment fragmentation
-
Minimal thermal diffusion
-
Safer treatment for pigment-sensitive skin
This is especially important in melasma management, where excessive heat can worsen pigmentation.
IntelliBeam™ Flat-Top Beam Technology
Hollywood Spectra uses IntelliBeam™ flat-top beam shaping, producing even energy distribution across the entire spot.
Compared to Gaussian or multimode beams, this results in:
-
Consistent treatment depth
-
Reduced patchiness
-
Safer overlap technique
-
More controlled outcomes for Asian skin
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Hollywood Spectra FDA-approved?
Hollywood Spectra is an FDA-cleared Q-switched Nd:YAG laser platform. Specific wavelengths are widely used in dermatology for pigment management under medical supervision.
Can Hollywood Spectra worsen melasma?
Is there downtime?
When used incorrectly, any laser can worsen melasma. At RJ Clinic, melasma patients follow dedicated protocols, not Hollywood peel settings, to reduce rebound risk.
Downtime is minimal. Mild redness may occur but most patients return to normal activities the same day.
How many sessions are needed?
This depends on the condition treated. Pigment and melasma management typically require multiple sessions spaced over time.
