We recently sat down with Dr Guy Erlich ahead of his talk at the Cynosure Lutronic European Laser Symposium to discuss his use of the Hollywood Spectra, his history in aesthetic medicine and his upcoming speech, “Enhancing Safety and Efficacy with EBDs in Dark Phototypes”.
Here’s what he had to say about his work at G2 Aesthetics with the Hollywood Spectra and the merger between Cynosure and Lutronic:
Tell us a little about yourself, Dr Erlich
“Where to start… I attained my general medicine degree from Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic, followed by an MSc Degree in aesthetic medicine and skin ageing from the University of South Wales.”
It’s safe to say, Dr Erlich always had an interest in aesthetic medicine – he is currently participating in his 2nd MSc programme in Clinical Dermatology at Buckingham University – forever the student!
He holds pivotal roles as aesthetic physician at the aesthetics divisions of Mehuedet Health Organization and at Hillel Yafe Hospital’s Plastic Surgery Unit. Dr Erlich also serves as a Key Opinion Leader (KOL) for esteemed international aesthetic companies and is a lecturer at international aesthetic conferences.
“I treat almost every indication.
- Face (injectables and EBDs) – pigmentation, texture, skin quality, acne, scars, rejuvenation, rosacea, hyperhidrosis.
- Body – fillers, cellulite, stretch marks, scars.
In my clinics I have skin therapists that operate all EBDs, so I see many patients every day.”
What Cynosure Lutronic devices do you have?
“I work almost daily with the Hollywood Spectra. It’s the best and most effective QS-Lasers in the market, versatile and safe. I call it my “X factor”, I use it both as stand-alone and in combinations with other EBDs and injectables, for many indications, resulting in the attraction of many new customers.”
Dr Erlich adds that his favourite thing about the Hollywood Spectra is “Its versatility, I use it for pigmentation, acne, rejuvenation, glow, scars, and tattoos removal.”
There’s very little that the Hollywood Spectra can’t do! With the shortest true nanosecond pulse width (5ns), 1064/532nm dual-wavelengths for enhanced Tx versatility and exclusive Spectra mode (0.3 ms), the Hollywood Spectra is the ideal tool for anyone practising aesthetic medicine.
Tell us about your talk at the Cynosure Lutronic European Laser Symposium
“My talk at the Symposium is called “Enhancing Safety and Efficacy with EBDs in Dark Phototypes”. I will cover the skin phototypes and Fitzpatrick classification system, as well as its clinical and practical consequences. I will then speak about dark skin types and its implications, complications, and safety precautions. And, most importantly, I will explain why I think that the Hollywood spectra represents the best EBD in the treatment of hyperpigmentation or acne in dark skin types, I will show my results and also complications, and explain why they happened and how I solved them.”

Why are you excited about the Cynosure Lutronic brand launch?
“Even Lionel Messi cannot win a match alone against 11 players!” Dr Erlich said, adding, “In the current 21st century, technology and innovation are growing at a fast pace. Many great minds are planning the next feature that will change the rules in the aesthetic industry. Hence, I believe that the merging of 2 great companies will result in better innovation, better service, and better education.”
