Carbon Laser Facial

Minimally invasive skin resurfacing treatments are very popular for improving the appearance of skin. This procedure is often effective, affordable, and only require a quick appointment to complete. ‌‌

Resurfacing treatments are classified in three ways: superficial, medium, and deep. The difference between them has to do with how many layers of skin the treatment penetrates. Superficial treatments deliver modest results with minimal recovery time such with the Carbon Facial.

How Do Carbon Laser Peels Work?

A carbon laser peel typically involves the following steps.

Carbon lotion. First, your provider will apply a dark-colored cream with a high carbon content to your skin. The lotion is an exfoliating treatment that helps prepare the skin for the next steps. You will sit with it on your face for several minutes to let it dry. As the lotion dries, it bonds with dirt, oil, and other contaminants on the surface of your skin.

The final step is a pulsed laser that your provider uses to break down the carbon. The laser destroys the carbon particles and any oil, dead skin cell, bacteria, or other impurities on your face. The heat from the process also signals a healing response in your skin. That stimulates collagen and elastin production to make your skin look firmer.

Because the carbon laser peel is a mild procedure, you won’t need any numbing cream before the treatment. You should be able to leave the our studio or right after it's over.

What Does a Carbon Laser Peel Treat?

You may need multiple treatments to see effects on acne. The treatment is non-irritating, so it doesn’t make inflamed skin feel worse during treatment. You can repeat carbon laser peels as necessary without negative side effects.‌‌
