Carbon Facial

What is a carbon facial?
A carbon facial, also known as a carbon laser peel or Hollywood peel, is a non-invasive laser treatment that combines the power of medical-grade carbon and Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser technology.
How does a carbon facial work?
A thin layer of liquid carbon is applied to the skin and the particles penetrate deep into pores, binding to oil, dead skin cells, dirt &impurities. The carbon acts as a photoenhancer, meaning it absorbs laser energy very effectively.
The carbon sits on the skin for about 10–15 minutes, allowing it to settle into the pores and dry slightly.
A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is then passed over the skin. The laser energy is attracted to the carbon particles and causes the following:
Exfoliation
-
The laser vaporizes the carbon, taking dead skin cells, oil, and contaminants with it.
-
This produces a gentle peeling effect, revealing fresher, brighter skin underneath.
Deep Cleansing
-
Heat from the laser penetrates the skin, destroying bacteria in the pores and reducing acne-causing factors.
-
It also shrinks sebaceous (oil) glands, helping reduce excess oil production.
Collagen Stimulation
-
The heat energy stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity and reducing fine lines and pores over time.
What are the benefits of carbon facials?
Carbon facials offer a range of benefits, including;
-
Deep pore cleansing and exfoliation
-
Brightens and evens skin tone
-
Reduces blackheads, whiteheads & oiliness
-
Stimulates collagen production for tighter, smoother skin
- Diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
-
Immediate glow with zero downtime
- Improved skin texture and tone
- Reduced pore size
- Overall skin rejuvenation
- Can help control acne breakouts and oil production
Another benefit of carbon facials is that there is minimal to no downtime associated with the treatment. Most people experience mild redness and warmth immediately after the procedure, which typically subsides within a few hours.
Some individuals may also notice slight flaking or peeling of the skin in the days following the treatment, but this is usually mild and can be managed with moisturiser. Overall, clients can resume their regular activities immediately after a carbon facial
