Spectra™ - Skin Tone Treatment

The Spectra™ laser — a gentle carbon peel that brightens and evens pigment.

Struggling with melasma, sun spots, or dull, uneven tone?

Leave Your Melasma Behind You

Melasma and pigmentation issues can be frustrating and difficult to treat. The Spectra™ laser is one of the few lasers that can treat melasma without making it worse. 

This laser reduces pigmentation and evens out skin tone. It is one of the only FDA-approved lasers to treat melasma and is safe for all skin types, including olive-toned or darker skin that may be harmed by other lasers. The wavelength and short, quick, nano pulses are unique to the Spectra™ laser and it specifically targets brown patches without excessive tissue heating – thereby preventing more pigment or worse melasma. 

Spectra™ – Skin Tone Treatment

There is no pain associated with the Spectra™ treatment. During a Spectra™ laser facial, you’ll feel a warm and tingly sensation. A photo enhancing lotion will be applied before the laser energy is emitted on the skin. 

The carbon lotion will lift off the top dead layer of your skin so you get a dewy glow like a “facial” after your treatment. 

This light laser treatment is considered a TONING procedure that gently heats and tones the tissue to get incremental improvement in skin quality, radiance, and tone without any downtime.

What is the Spectra laser?

Spectra is a versatile laser best known for the “Spectra Peel” (often called a carbon or Hollywood peel) and for treating unwanted pigment. It gently heats the skin to break up excess pigment and refine tone while stimulating a subtle renewal.

What does Spectra treat?

Spectra is used for melasma, sun spots and uneven pigment, dullness, enlarged pores, and overall brightening, and it can also help fade certain tattoos. The carbon-peel version leaves skin looking clearer and more radiant with essentially no downtime.

What should I expect?

Pigment concerns like melasma usually respond best to a gentle series of treatments. At ZENA Medical in Newport Beach, Spectra is performed under board-certified dermatologist Dr. Zena Gabriel, with careful settings for pigment-prone skin. Book a consultation to brighten and even your complexion.
