The Carbon Laser Peel is an advanced resurfacing laser treatment that uses the power of laser technology to remove blackheads, oil and dirt from the skin. The laser also kills bacteria and shrinks the oil producing sebaceous glands to prevent acne breakouts. This powerful treatment leaves the face radiant, brighter and more even in tone and texture.
The treatment is painless and has minimal-to-zero downtime. During the session, your therapist will first apply a layer of liquid carbon to the skin. This carbon mask seeps into the pores and binds to excess oils, dirt and dead skin cells. Next, a photothermal laser is used to heat the skin and the carbon particles. The light is highly attracted to the dark colour of the carbon and essentially explodes the particles on the surface of your skin. The laser heat stimulates the regrowth of collagen and elastin, which results in younger-looking, firmer, smoother skin with visibly reduced fine lines and wrinkles.
A series of treatments is typically recommended to achieve optimal results
which are typically more noticeable after the second or third sessions. The results will continue to build up after each treatment and are long-lasting. The Carbon Laser Peel is particularly effective for improving the appearance of acne prone and oily skin, tightening pores, diminishing fine lines and wrinkles, as well as dissolving pigmentation.
What Is the Difference Between a Carbon Laser Peel and a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel and a carbon laser peel are both great ways to improve your skin, but they work differently. The key difference is that a chemical peel works by breaking down the outer layers of skin, while a carbon laser peel uses laser energy to regenerate the skin from within. A carbon laser peel is less harsh than a chemical peel, making it suitable for all skin types.
If you have sensitive skin, you may experience a slight pinking or reddening following the treatment. This is due to the high concentration of thermal energy produced by the laser
which is designed to destroy bacteria and break down unwanted material.
If you have any concerns please talk to your therapist about a treatment plan that is best suited for you.
It is recommended to avoid BB creams fake tans and other products containing acids in the lead up to your appointment. Please also come to your treatment with clean, makeup-free skin. It is also important to refrain from waxing, threading or plucking hairs for a week prior to your treatment.
