Carbon Laser Peel Edmonton

The Carbon Laser Peel, sometimes called the Hollywood Peel, is a non-invasive laser treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton. A carbon-based cream is applied to the skin and then targeted by a laser, which vaporizes the carbon particles together with surface debris and excess sebum trapped in the pores.

The Carbon Laser Peel can help address dull complexion, oily skin, mild acne, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores and fine lines on the face, with very little recovery time. The session lasts around 30 minutes and can be scheduled on its own as a quick radiance treatment, or as part of a personalized plan that pairs it with complementary in-clinic options such as chemical peels, microneedling or medical-grade skincare protocols.

Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, the Carbon Laser Peel at our Dermapure clinics in Edmonton always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether the Carbon Laser Peel is the most appropriate option for you and discuss a realistic treatment plan, the expected results and the possible side effects, which will be reviewed in detail during your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do Carbon Laser Peels Work?

Carbon laser peels combine a carbon-based cream with laser technology to refresh and rejuvenate the skin. Carbon laser peels start with the application of a carbon-based cream to the skin, which penetrates deep into the pores. This cream binds to impurities, dead skin cells, and excess oil. Once the cream dries, a specialized laser is directed onto the skin. The energy from the laser is selectively absorbed by the carbon particles, causing them to vaporize along with the trapped impurities. As the carbon particles are removed, the treatment effectively eliminates acne-causing bacteria and reduces sebum production. Additionally, the heat generated during the procedure stimulates collagen production, leading to improved skin texture, minimized pores, and a reduction in fine lines. The entire process is non-invasive, lasts about 30 minutes, and typically requires minimal downtime, as any slight redness usually subsides within a few hours.

What Does a Carbon Laser Peel Treat?

A carbon laser peel is an effective treatment for a variety of skin concerns. It primarily targets dull or uneven skin tone, helping to revitalize and refresh the complexion. The procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals with oily skin or acne, as it aids in reducing excess sebum production and clearing away acne-causing bacteria. Additionally, the carbon laser peel helps minimize the appearance of enlarged pores and fine lines, resulting in smoother, more youthful complexion. This treatment is suitable for a variety of skin types and tones, making it an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their skin. By gently exfoliating the outer layer of dead skin cells and stimulating collagen production, the carbon laser peel promotes a clearer and more radiant complexion, including reducing the appearance of acne scars.
