From Dull to Red Carpet Glow:
A Client’s First Hollywood Facial in Christchurch

Specialist doing Hollywood Facial

She walked into our clinic just a few days before her best friend’s engagement party. Stressed skin. Low confidence. The kind of glow-up situation we see all the time at our Christchurch clinic.

“I don’t think makeup will save me this time,” she said, half-laughing.

Like many of our first-time facial clients, her skin had been through a lot: weeks of stress, late nights, poor sleep, and the occasional breakout that refused to leave. She was looking for something quick, effective, and gentle — not a treatment that would leave her red or peeling before the big day.

We smiled — because we knew exactly what her skin needed:
the Hollywood Facial, our most-loved carbon laser facial in Christchurch that delivers instant glow without any downtime.

What is a Hollywood Facial?

The Hollywood Facial — also known as the Carbon Laser Facial — is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses advanced laser technology to exfoliate, detox, and rejuvenate the skin.

At Asylum Laser Clinic, we use this celebrity-favourite treatment to help clients:

  • Brighten dull or tired skin

  • Deep-clean clogged pores

  • Even out skin tone

  • Reduce oil, acne, and blackheads

  • Achieve glowing, photo-ready skin

This laser facial in Christchurch is ideal for those seeking fast, visible results without any peeling, pain, or recovery time.

What Happens During the Treatment?

Here’s a breakdown of what happens during the 30-minute session:

1. Carbon Application

We start by applying a thin layer of medical-grade carbon lotion. This lotion penetrates deep into your pores and binds to dirt, dead skin cells, excess oil, and toxins. The carbon acts like a sponge and a magnet in one.

2. Laser Activation

We then use a Q-Switched Laser to gently heat and vaporise the carbon particles. As the laser zaps away the carbon, it exfoliates the skin’s surface and deeply cleans out the pores — all while stimulating collagen and reducing bacteria on the skin.

3. Post-Treatment Glow

Once the carbon is fully removed, what’s left is noticeably brighter, smoother, and clearer skin. Many clients report an immediate “glass skin” effect.

Quick Skin Fact:
Carbon Laser Facials stimulate collagen production and reduce pigmentation by targeting the dermis — making them ideal for acne-prone skin, enlarged pores, and early signs of aging.

Real Results, No Downtime

By the end of her session, her skin was glowing.
No redness. No irritation. Just clean, refreshed, and visibly brighter skin.

She walked out makeup-free — not because she had to, but because she wanted to.

This is why so many clients call it the best facial for glowing skin in Christchurch — it’s not just about looking good; it’s about feeling good in your own skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Hollywood Facial painful?

Not at all. Most clients describe it as a warm, tingling sensation. There’s no discomfort, and many find the process relaxing.

Can I wear makeup afterwards?

You can — but most clients don’t feel the need to. If you do wear makeup, wait a few hours post-treatment and use clean brushes.

How long do the results last?

You’ll see immediate results, but for long-term benefits (like reduced acne or pigmentation), we recommend a series of 4–6 treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart.

Is there any aftercare?

Just avoid direct sun exposure, skip harsh products for 24 hours, and keep your skin hydrated. We’ll also guide you with a simple post-facial routine.
