A carbon facial, also known as a carbon laser peel or Hollywood peel, is a non-invasive laser treatment that combines the benefits of activated carbon and advanced laser technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and rejuvenate the skin. It is ideal for addressing issues like oily skin, blackheads, enlarged pores, acne, and uneven skin tone.

The treatment involves applying a thin layer of liquid carbon to the skin. The carbon particles penetrate the pores and absorb oil, dirt, and dead skin cells. A laser is then passed over the skin, targeting the carbon particles and destroying them along with the absorbed contaminants. This process exfoliates the skin, cleanses the pores, and stimulates collagen production.

Carbon facials are suitable for most skin types, especially those with oily or acne-prone skin. Ideal candidates are individuals looking to reduce oiliness, minimise pores, improve skin texture, and achieve a clearer, more radiant complexion.

Deep Cleansing: Removes oil, dirt, and dead skin cells from deep within the pores.
Exfoliation: Promotes smoother skin texture by removing the outer layer of dead skin.
Reduced Pore Size: Tightens and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores.
Acne Control: Helps to reduce acne and prevent future breakouts.
Even Skin Tone: Reduces pigmentation, resulting in a more even skin tone.
Radiant Complexion: Leaves the skin looking fresh, glowing, and rejuvenated.

Immediate results, like improved skin texture and brightness, are often noticeable right after the treatment. However, for more significant and long-lasting results, a series of sessions are recommended over time.

Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed.
A thin layer of liquid carbon will be applied to your face.
The carbon will dry and bond with the impurities in your skin.
A laser will be used to target and destroy the carbon particles, along with the absorbed contaminants.

No, the carbon facial is generally pain-free. You might feel a slight tingling or warming sensation when the laser is applied, but it is usually well-tolerated. There is no need for anaesthesia or numbing cream.

A carbon facial treatment typically takes about 45 minutes, making it a quick and convenient option for those with busy schedules.

One of the great benefits of a carbon facial is that there is minimal to no downtime. You may experience slight redness immediately after the treatment, but this usually subsides within a few hours. You can resume your normal activities right away.

While noticeable improvements can often be seen after a single treatment, a series of 4-6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is usually recommended for optimal results. Your skincare professional will create a personalised treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals.
