The best candidates for this treatment are those with dull or oily skin, acne, uneven tone, fine lines, or those seeking a reduction in pore size.
The Carbon Peel is a non-invasive laser treatment that combines the application of a carbon cream or lotion with a laser to rejuvenate the skin. Treatment starts with a carbon-based cream applied to the face. This helps to exfoliate the skin and pull out contaminants deep within pores. When the laser device is applied, it targets and destroys the carbon particles, which can have a beneficial effect on reducing acne-causing bacteria and reducing sebum (oil) production. In addition, the heat produced by the laser helps in reducing the size of enlarged pores, providing a smoother skin texture.
The procedure is available for various skin types and tones. From start to finish, it can be completed in just 30 minutes.
The Carbon Peel, otherwise known as the “Carbon Laser Peel” or “Hollywood Peel,” is designed to rejuvenate, offering smoother, clearer, more radiant skin.

Visit The Online StoreCarbon 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.
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.
The results of a carbon peel typically last several weeks to a few months, depending on individual factors like skin type, environmental exposure, and daily skincare habits. While one session can yield noticeable improvements in skin clarity and texture, maintaining these results often requires periodic treatments. To extend the effects, it’s essential to adopt a proper post-treatment skincare routine, including moisturizing, protecting the skin from sun exposure, and using gentle products. Healthy habits, such as staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet, can also help preserve the peel’s benefits over time.
A carbon laser peel is generally well-tolerated, with minimal side effects. The most common side effect is mild redness, which typically subsides within a few hours after treatment. Some individuals may also experience slight dryness or flaking as the skin exfoliates, but this is usually temporary and resolves quickly. In rare cases, individuals with more sensitive skin might experience minor swelling or heightened sensitivity. It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions, such as avoiding direct sun exposure and applying sunscreen, to minimize any risks and promote optimal healing.
A carbon peel is often chosen over a traditional chemical peel because it's gentler and has minimal downtime. This makes it a better option for those looking for quick recovery and visible improvement in skin texture and tone.
After undergoing a Carbon Laser Peel, following the recommended laser carbon peel aftercare is essential to ensure optimal healing and results in the days after treatment. It's important to keep the skin clean and well-moisturized while avoiding harsh products that may irritate the treated area. Protecting the skin from sun exposure is crucial; using a broad-spectrum sunscreen is recommended to prevent damage and maintain the benefits of the treatment.
