Treatment
Spectra Laser in Coquitlam
Smile Well Medical & Spa offers the Spectra Laser in Coquitlam — a painless, zero-downtime laser treatment that instantly brightens skin, reduces pigmentation, minimizes pores, and smooths fine lines. No recovery. No disruption. Just radiant results.
What is Spectra Laser?
The Spectra Laser has earned its Hollywood Peel nickname from its popularity among those seeking a fast, effective, and genuinely comfortable path to glowing skin. The treatment begins with a light application of a specialized carbon lotion, which settles into the skin's surface before the Spectra laser is passed over the area. The laser targets the carbon precisely — lifting away dead skin cells, oil, and surface impurities while simultaneously delivering heat energy into the deeper dermis to stimulate natural collagen production.
The entire process takes approximately 30 minutes, requires no downtime, and leaves skin visibly brighter, smoother, and more even in tone immediately after the session. At Smile Well Medical & Spa in Coquitlam, the Spectra Laser is a favourite for patients preparing for weddings, special occasions, or those looking to incorporate a reliable monthly skin maintenance treatment into their routine.
