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.
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.
Here’s a breakdown of what happens during the 30-minute session:
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Hollywood Facial is ideal for:
Busy professionals who want fast results without taking time off
Brides-to-be or event-goers prepping for a flawless look
Men and women dealing with breakouts or oily skin
Anyone with enlarged pores, dull skin, or rough texture
First-timers who want to start skincare without going too invasive
Whether you’re trying to clear congestion, improve skin tone, or just treat yourself to something that works, this facial is worth it.

The Hollywood Facial is one of our newest and fastest-growing treatments — because once you experience the glow, you’ll want to come back.
Not at all. Most clients describe it as a warm, tingling sensation. There’s no discomfort, and many find the process relaxing.
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.
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.
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.
Your skin deserves more than a filter.
Whether you’re preparing for a big event or simply want a fresh start, the Hollywood Facial is your shortcut to clearer, brighter, and more confident skin.
We’ve seen it work for students, professionals, brides, new mums, and everyone in between — and now we’re ready to make it work for you.
