Carbon laser peel

Most Popular Procedures

A carbon laser peel, also known as a carbon peel or Hollywood peel, is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses a combination of laser technology and a carbon mask to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. This treatment is typically performed on the face, but can also be used on other areas of the body.

During a carbon laser peel, a layer of carbon lotion is applied to the skin, which penetrates deep into the pores. The carbon particles absorb dirt, oil, and other impurities from the skin’s surface. A laser is then used to heat and vaporize the carbon particles, which exfoliates the skin and stimulates collagen production.

Multiple Treatment Options

The benefits of a carbon laser peel include:

  1. Improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  2. Reducing the appearance of acne scars and other types of scarring
  3. Minimizing pore size and improving skin texture
  4. Reducing hyperpigmentation and improving skin tone
  5. Stimulating collagen production, which can help firm and tighten the skin

Carbon laser peels are generally considered safe and effective for most skin types, but may not be suitable for people with certain skin conditions or medical histories. It’s important to consult with a skincare professional to determine if a carbon laser peel is right for you.

The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to complete, and most people will see an immediate improvement in the appearance of their skin after a single treatment. However, a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal and long-lasting results.

While carbon laser peels are generally considered safe, there may be some risks and side effects associated with the procedure, such as redness, swelling, and mild discomfort during the treatment. It’s important to discuss any potential risks with your skincare professional before undergoing a carbon laser peel.
