Carbon Peel Facial Laser

Laser carbon peels deeply exfoliate skin. They also help stimulate collagen production. 

Laser carbon peels are used to treat:

• acne
• acne pigmentation
• acne scarring
• enlarged and clogged pores
• melasma
• photoaging
• fine lines and wrinkles
  

Chemical peels also treat these skin conditions, but here are some of the main differences between the two:

• laser carbon peels use heat instead of chemicals for results
• laser carbon peels require no down time
• people with sensitive skin or skin conditions like eczema will usually experience less redness and irritation after a carbon peel than from a chemical peel

Our costs can be found on our booking website either per session or you may even be able to get a discounted cost if you were to purchase a package.

The laser carbon peel is a multi-part process that takes around 1 hour in total from start to finish.

Here’s what you can expect from a typical laser carbon peel facial:

1. Your therapist will spread a layer of liquid carbon onto your face. The carbon absorbs oil, dirt, and dead skin cells from deep within the pores.
2. You’ll wait for about 10 minutes for the liquid carbon to dry.
3. After the carbon has dried, your therapist will give you eye shields to protect your eyes from the laser.
4. Your therapist will pass a laser, such as the Nd:YAG, over the skin on a low-energy setting. This heats up the carbon, binding it to the epidermis. 
5. If you have very sensitive skin or dark patches like melasma, your therapist may recommend skipping the heating step. The laser also heats up subdermal tissue, boosting collagen and plumping up fine lines.
6. On a higher-energy setting, the laser will be used to fragment the liquid carbon into tiny particles. 
7. A smoke evaporator attached to the laser will remove the carbon as well as the debris and impurities it contains.
8. Your therapist will apply a moisturising face mask to calm and soothe your face from the heat applied from the laser.
9. Your therapist will also apply a hydrating moisturizer and sunscreen to your skin after treatment.

You should immediately see brighter, glowing skin and tighter pores.

If you have sensitive skin, you may experience a slight pinking or reddening of the skin. This usually lasts for one hour or less.

Here are some do’s and don’ts for laser carbon peel aftercare:

• Treat your skin gently after getting a laser carbon peel by continuing to moisturise daily.
• It’s normal to see some flaking or experience dryness for a few days,
• Use sunscreen regularly with at least SPF 30+ for several days after treatment.
• Don’t use any products containing retinol for at least five days after treatment.
• Do not exfoliate or use any abrasive or invasive skin treatments for at least one week.
• If you have oily skin, use products designed to combat acne to maintain optimum results.
• Use products containing collagen, collagen supplements, or follow a collagen-boosting diet if you have photo-aged skin or fine lines.

Laser carbon peels are typically very effective for improving the look of oily skin and large pores. If you have severe acne or acne scarring, it may take several treatments before you see full results. Fine lines and wrinkles should also be visibly diminished after one or more treatments.

Like chemical peels, laser carbon peels won’t provide permanent results. You may need ongoing treatments in order to sustain the benefits of each. Carbon peels may be repeated every 4-6 weeks. This period of time allows for ample collagen regeneration between treatments.

Everyone’s skin is different. We generally recommend a course of 6-8 sessions however book in for a consultation and have a chat with your therapist to discuss the best advice for your skin concerns and requirements.
