Carbon Laser Peel

Clear. Refine. Rejuvenate.

The Carbon Laser Facial is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to improve skin clarity, reduce oiliness, and refine overall skin texture. It is commonly used for patients with oily, acne-prone, or congested skin.

What Is a Carbon Laser Peel?

This treatment involves the application of a topical carbon solution, which penetrates into the pores and binds to oil, debris, and dead skin cells.

A Q-switched laser is then passed over the skin, targeting the carbon particles. This process results in a superficial exfoliation and helps remove impurities from the skin surface.

What Does It Treat?
  • Oily skin and excess sebum production
  • Mild acne and congestion
  • Enlarged pore appearance
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Dull or tired-looking skin

Frequently Asked Questions:

The medical aesthetician will apply a carbon layer onto the skin to penetrate deep into the pores. The Q-switch laser highly attracts carbon particles when passed over the area while the laser destroys the carbon layer. Thus, all the dead skin cells, contaminants and oil are eliminated with the carbon particles' implosion.
We recommend 3-6 sessions every 3 to 4 weeks. This gives your skin ample time to produce additional collagen and elastin. The more treatments performed, the better the long-term results in reducing both pore size and minimising wrinkles.
