LASER TREATMENTS

Laser technology has been used in aesthetic medicine since the 1960s, but today’s devices are faster, safer, and more precise than ever. By delivering concentrated beams of light energy into targeted layers of skin, lasers can stimulate collagen, break down unwanted pigment, vaporize damaged cells, and even destroy hair follicles — all without surgery or extended downtime and reliable safety. From skin rejuvenation to tattoo and acne removal, laser treatments offer real, visible results with minimal discomfort and long-lasting benefits. At Calypso Beauty, we offer advanced laser treatments for clients in Kirkland, Bellevue, and surrounding areas.

 

Carbon Laser Facial (Hollywood Laser Peel®)

Sometimes called a Carbon Laser Peel, Hollywood Laser Peel®, or Spectra Peel, this advanced treatment uses a carbon-based lotion and dual-wavelength laser technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and stimulate collagen production — all with zero downtime. Originally popularized by celebrities and skincare professionals for its ability to deliver glowing results fast, the Carbon Laser Facial has become a go-to for anyone seeking smoother texture, refined pores, and a brighter complexion.

​

At Calypso Beauty, we use a specialized Spectra laser system to first apply a thin layer of carbon to the skin. This lotion absorbs oil, impurities, and dead skin cells. Next, the laser is passed over the skin in two phases — the first gently heats the skin to stimulate collagen and activate the carbon, and the second vaporizes the carbon particles, taking debris, oil, and surface imperfections with it.

 

This treatment is ideal for clients dealing with:

​

  • Dull or uneven skin tone

  • Active acne and oily skin

  • Enlarged pores or mild textural issues

  • Event prep or skin maintenance with no downtime

 

Results are visible immediately and continue to improve over time with repeated sessions. Many clients schedule this treatment before weddings, photo shoots, or special events for an instant refresh. Our Carbon Laser Facial is a safe, effective option for most skin types.

Carbon Acne Laser Treatment (Acne Peel with Spectra Technology)

Also known as a Carbon Laser Acne Peel, Spectra Acne Laser Treatment, or a variation of the Hollywood Laser Peel®, this specialized procedure targets active acne using an enhanced protocol with laser energy. It combines the deep-cleansing power of a carbon-based facial with additional thermal stimulation over acne-prone areas to help reduce inflammation, control oil, and minimize future breakouts.

​

Originally developed as a variation of the Hollywood Laser Peel, this treatment adds an extra pass using Spectra Mode to deliver longer-pulse laser energy directly to areas with active acne. This generates a mild thermal effect, which helps calm inflammation and trigger natural healing responses in the skin.

​

Here’s how it works:

​

  1. A thin layer of Spectra Carbon Lotion is applied and allowed to dry.

  2. The laser is first used to gently heat the carbon, activating its ability to bind oil and impurities.

  3. The second laser pass vaporizes the carbon, exfoliating the skin and clearing pores.

  4. A third laser pass — unique to this acne treatment — targets areas with breakouts using a deeper, thermal setting to help reduce acne activity.

 

This treatment is ideal for:

​

  • Active acne and inflamed breakouts

  • Oily, congested skin

  • Skin that is sensitive to traditional extractions or harsh peels

  • Clients seeking a non-invasive acne solution with minimal downtime

 

Mild redness may occur post-treatment, and we recommend following a simple aftercare protocol including SPF protection and avoiding retinols or harsh actives for several days.

​

The Carbon Acne Laser Treatment is safe for most skin types and offers a clean, modern alternative to conventional acne facials or medications. Results often improve with a series of treatments, spaced several weeks apart.

Laser Toning for Melasma, Pigmentation & Skin Brightening

Also known as Laser Skin Rejuvenation, Laser Toning with PTP+, or Q-Switched Laser Toning, this non-invasive treatment improves skin clarity, tone, and texture by using gentle, multi-pass laser energy to break up unwanted pigmentation and stimulate collagen production — all with minimal risk and no downtime.

​

At Calypso Beauty, we use the advanced Spectra Q-Switched 1064nm laser, including PTP+ mode, which delivers ultra-short, low-fluence pulses in rapid succession. This multi-pulse technology is ideal for treating stubborn pigmentation like melasma, as it disperses the laser energy more gradually, reducing the risk of rebound pigmentation or irritation — especially in sensitive or darker skin tones.

 

What It Treats:

​

  • Melasma

  • Uneven skin tone

  • Dull complexion

  • Mild textural irregularities

  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)

​

Key Benefits:

​

  • Brightens skin with each session

  • Reduces pigmentation without peeling or downtime

  • Safe for most skin types, including Fitzpatrick IV–V

  • Comfortable, non-invasive, and clinically proven

  • No flaking, redness, or post-treatment sensitivity

 

Laser Toning is ideal for clients seeking a gentle yet effective solution for pigment-related concerns — especially those who want professional results without aggressive treatments or recovery time.

MDF Laser Toning for Skin Revitalization & Texture Correction

MDF Toning (short for Multi-Depth Focus Toning) is a next-generation laser treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce pore size, soften acne scars, and brighten overall complexion through a controlled, non-thermal remodeling process. Using specialized microbeam laser energy at multiple skin depths, this treatment stimulates deep collagen production while preserving surface comfort — making it a powerful option for skin revitalization with low downtime.

​

This procedure is performed using an 8mm Multi-Depth Focus handpiece, which delivers precise laser pulses at adjustable depths (1, 2, and 3) to target both the dermal and epidermal layers of the skin. The treatment creates micro-injuries that trigger natural healing responses without heat damage — leading to smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin over time.

​

Key Benefits:

​

  • Reduces pore size and refines texture

  • Improves mild acne scarring

  • Stimulates collagen at multiple skin depths

  • Brightens dull or uneven tone

  • Minimal thermal damage = shorter recovery

​

 

Ideal For:

​

  • Enlarged pores

  • Mild acne scars

  • Rough or uneven texture

  • Skin dullness or early signs of aging

 

MDF Laser Toning is a great option for clients seeking advanced skin revitalization with minimal disruption — especially those looking for a non-invasive way to restore smoother, more vibrant skin.

Laser Tattoo Removal with Hollywood Spectra

Laser tattoo removal is the safest and most effective way to fade and eliminate unwanted ink — whether it’s a small symbol, a large sleeve, or a cosmetic tattoo. At Calypso Beauty, we use the advanced Hollywood Spectra laser system, which delivers ultra-short, high-intensity pulses at multiple wavelengths to precisely target ink particles beneath the skin.

​

Also known as Q-Switched Laser Tattoo Removal, this technology works by breaking tattoo pigment into tiny fragments that are gradually cleared by the body’s natural lymphatic processes. Different wavelengths are used to address different ink colors, allowing for customized treatment and maximum fading with each session.

​

How It Works:

  • The laser emits targeted light absorbed by the tattoo pigment.

  • Ink particles are shattered into microscopic fragments.

  • Your immune system flushes these particles out over time.

  • Multiple sessions are needed, spaced 8–12 weeks apart for safe healing and ink clearance.

 

Note: Some ink may be stored in lymph nodes and fade gradually.

 

What Affects Results:

  • Tattoo depth, density, and location

  • Ink color and age of the tattoo

  • Amateur vs. professional work

  • Immune system efficiency

  • Pre-existing scarring or cover-ups

  • Skin tone and sensitivity

 

Calypso Beauty serves clients with expert tattoo removal backed by cutting-edge technology and client-focused care. Whether you're removing a faded design, clearing space for new ink, or saying goodbye to a past piece, we’ll help you achieve the cleanest possible result.

Laser Removal of Pigmented Lesions

Pigmented lesions — such as sun spots, age spots, freckles, and other darkened patches — are common signs of sun exposure and skin aging. At Calypso Beauty, we offer advanced laser treatments for pigmented lesion removal using the Hollywood Spectra system, designed to target and fade these spots with precision and minimal downtime.

​

This treatment delivers concentrated laser energy that’s absorbed by excess melanin in the skin. The heat fragments the pigment, which then naturally rises to the surface and sheds over the following days or weeks, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin underneath.

​

Also referred to as Laser Sun Spot Removal, Lentigo Treatment, or Pigment Correction Laser, this procedure is safe, non-invasive, and effective for most skin types.

​

What It Treats:

​

  • Sun spots (solar lentigines)

  • Freckles

  • Age spots

  • Uneven pigmentation

  • Some forms of hyperpigmentation

 

Laser removal of pigmented lesions is ideal for clients looking to improve clarity, reduce visible signs of aging, and restore a brighter, more even skin tone.

Gold Toning for Redness, Rosacea & Post-Acne Flushing

Gold Toning is a specialized laser treatment designed to reduce redness, flushing, and post-acne erythema. Using the 585nm dye laser handpiece, this procedure targets microvascular structures and surface-level melanin, making it a safe and effective choice for those struggling with rosacea, facial flushing, and lingering redness after acne.

​

Unlike general laser facials, Gold Toning delivers ultra-short (5-nanosecond) pulses of energy that gently calm inflamed skin and even out discoloration — all with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

 

This treatment is also referred to in the industry as:

​

  • 585nm Laser Toning

  • Gold Laser Treatment

  • Laser for Rosacea or Redness

  • Post-Acne Redness Correction

 

What It Treats:

​

  • Rosacea and chronic facial redness

  • Post-inflammatory erythema (post-acne redness)

  • General facial flushing or visible blood vessels (microvasculature)

 

How It Works:

Using a small, 5mm handpiece, the laser is passed over the treatment area in overlapping patterns. The energy is absorbed by blood vessels and melanin near the surface, triggering a controlled healing response that reduces redness and inflammation.

​

Gold Toning is ideal for clients looking to calm redness and restore balance to sensitive skin.
