Carbon Laser - The Ultimate Guide to Oily and Acne Prone Skin

What is a Carbon laser or Carbon peel?

A carbon laser facial or carbon peel is done using a q-switch laser and a carbon paste applied on the skin. It is an ideal treatment for oily, acne prone skin with clogged pores.

Also known as “Hollywood peel” or “Red carpet peel”. Carbon peel is a laser peel in which liquid carbon is applied to the face and once the laser light is passed over the area, the explosion of carbon particles not only leads to deep cleansing and exfoliation of the skin but also helps in treating ACNE and OPEN PORES.

1-How Does a Carbon Laser Facial Work?

During a carbon laser facial, a thin layer of medical-grade carbon is first applied to the skin. The carbon penetrates deep into the pores and binds to dirt, oil, and impurities.

Next, a Q-switched laser is passed over the skin. This laser specifically targets and is absorbed by the dark carbon particles. As the laser energy hits the carbon, it heats up and gently “bursts” the particles.

This controlled process deeply cleanses the pores, removes excess oil, dead skin cells, and impurities, and helps reduce whiteheads, blackheads, and acne. The laser also has a soothing, anti-inflammatory effect, which helps calm active acne and leaves the skin clearer, smoother, and refreshed.
