Empress Peel
A royal reset for your glow. Clarity, smoothness, and radiance, in one sacred sweep. The Empress Peel is our elevated take on the iconic Hollywood Carbon Laser Peel, a zero-downtime, high-impact treatment designed to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and rejuvenate the skin using carbon infusion + laser precision. Perfect before a special event or as part of your regular glow ritual, this treatment helps reveal your Empress-level radiance instantly, smooth, bright, and photo-ready.
HOW IT WORKS
We begin by applying a medical-grade carbon solution to your skin. This carbon acts like a magnet for oil, impurities, and dead skin. Once it settles, we pass the Luna Ray Q-switched Nd:YAG laser across your skin, vaporizing the carbon particles, along with dullness, congestion, and fine debris. The laser energy also penetrates beneath the surface, stimulating collagen, tightening pores, and improving texture without pain or downtime.
WHAT TO EXPECT
During your Empress Peel appointment, you can expect a quick, luxurious, and glow-boosting experience that fits beautifully into your day. The treatment begins with the gentle application of a carbon lotion, which settles into your pores like a detoxifying veil. Then, using the Luna Ray Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, we pass over the skin to vaporize the carbon; along with impurities, oil, and dead skin cells, while stimulating collagen beneath the surface. You may feel a light warmth or soft snapping sensation, but it’s painless and well-tolerated. Your skin may appear slightly pink afterward, but there’s no peeling or downtime; just a fresh, luminous glow. Many Empresses walk out camera-ready, with continued improvement over the next few days. A series of sessions can refine your skin’s texture, tone, and clarity over time.
FAQs
How much treatment will I need?
While many Empresses see an immediate glow after just one session, the true power of the Empress Peel is unlocked through consistency. For optimal results: including refined pores, smoother texture, balanced oil, and luminous skin; a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart is ideal. However, because the Empress Peel is so gentle, it can also be done monthly as part of your sacred skin ritual. Monthly sessions keep your skin in a steady state of radiance, continuously encouraging collagen production and preventing buildup. Whether you’re preparing for a special moment or simply choosing to glow all year long, we’ll create a rhythm that keeps your complexion clear, smooth, and sovereign.
Does it hurt?
The Empress Peel is often described as a light warming or soft “snapping” sensation as the laser interacts with the carbon layer. There’s no burning, no needles, and no harsh resurfacing. Most Empresses actually find it relaxing — a quick moment to reset while the Luna Ray laser does its magic. You’ll leave feeling fresh, revived, and glowing, with no discomfort and zero downtime. It’s a beauty ritual that feels as gentle as it is powerful.
What's the Downtime?
One of the many reasons Empresses love the Empress Peel is that it has virtually no downtime. Immediately after treatment, your skin may appear slightly pink or feel warm, like a gentle post-sun glow, but this usually fades within a few hours. There’s no peeling, no flaking, and no need to hide, making it the perfect treatment before events, photos, or anytime you desire a radiant reset. You can return to your day-to-day immediately, though I recommend skipping makeup and embracing hydration for the rest of the day to let your skin fully receive the glow. Your Empress radiance doesn’t wait; it arrives on your terms.
How long do results last?
The glow from your Empress Peel can last 1 to 4 weeks after a single session, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and skincare ritual. You’ll notice an immediate boost in brightness, smoothness, and clarity, with continued improvement over the next several days as your skin detoxifies and collagen begins to rebuild. With monthly sessions, many Empresses maintain a consistent, luminous complexion year-round. Think of it as tuning your skin to its highest frequency; the more consistent the ritual, the longer and more vibrant the glow.
Are there any side effects?
The Empress Peel is a low-risk, non-invasive treatment with minimal side effects, especially when performed with care and intention. Most Empresses experience only mild redness or warmth immediately after, which fades within a few hours. In rare cases, sensitive skin may feel slightly dry or tight, and a few may experience very light flaking; a gentle sign that your skin is shedding what no longer serves. There is no peeling, no breakouts, and no downtime when properly prepared. As always, we begin with a thorough skin consultation to ensure the treatment is aligned with your unique skin needs and energy. Your glow is never rushed, only honored.
What do I need to do before my Empress Peel?
To receive the full radiance of your Empress Peel, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin; no foundation, sunscreen, or skincare. For at least 7 to 14 days prior, discontinue use of retinoids (Retin-A, tretinoin, retinol), acids (AHA/BHA), and exfoliants, as these can increase sensitivity to the laser. Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and waxing in the treatment area for two weeks leading up to your appointment. Hydrate well, skip alcohol the night before, and get good rest, glowing skin begins within. This is your sacred skin reset, and it deserves your highest care.
What do I need to know post my Empress Peel?
After your Empress Peel, your skin may feel warm, tight, or slightly pink for a few hours; this is normal and typically fades quickly. Avoid applying makeup for at least 12–24 hours, and skip any harsh skincare, exfoliants, or active ingredients (like retinol or acids) for 5–7 days. Let your skin breathe, replenish, and receive. Stay out of direct sunlight, and wear broad-spectrum SPF daily; your glow is precious and must be protected. Keep your skin hydrated and nourished, and avoid hot saunas, workouts, or sweating for the first 24 hours.
