CARBON PEEL

Carbon Peel Treatment

A carbon peel is a popular non-invasive facial treatment used to improve the appearance of the skin, targeting issues like acne, pigmentation, and oily skin. Also known as the Hollywood Peel or Carbon Laser Facial, it’s a favorite among celebrities. Here’s everything you need to know about carbon peel treatments:

 

How a Carbon Peel Works

• Carbon Application: A layer of liquid carbon is applied to the skin. The carbon absorbs oil, dirt, and dead skin cells from deep within the pores.

• Laser Treatment: A laser is then used to pass over the skin. The laser targets the carbon particles, breaking them down along with the impurities absorbed by the carbon. This process also stimulates collagen production and gently exfoliates the skin.

 

Benefits of Carbon Peel

• Cleansing: The carbon absorbs impurities, which are removed when the laser is passed over the skin.

• Exfoliation: The heat from the laser removes dead skin cells, leaving the skin softer, smoother, and more radiant.

• Reduced Pore Size: By clearing out debris and reducing oil, the treatment can make pores appear smaller.

• Improved Skin Tone: Carbon peels help even out skin tone and reduce pigmentation.

• Acne Reduction: The treatment helps target acne-causing bacteria and reduces oil production, making it beneficial for acne-prone skin.

• Stimulated Collagen Production: The laser heats the deeper layers of the skin, encouraging collagen production, which can reduce fine lines and improve skin elasticity.

 

Procedure

1. Preparation: The skin is cleansed to remove makeup, oils, and dirt.

2. Carbon Application: A thin layer of carbon lotion is applied and left to dry for a few minutes.

3. Laser Treatment: The laser is passed over the carbon-covered skin, destroying the carbon and exfoliating the skin.

4. Post-Treatment Care: After treatment, the skin may be slightly red or sensitive, but there is typically no downtime. Moisturizers and sunscreens are recommended.

 

Ideal For

• Acne-prone skin: Helps reduce oil and acne bacteria.

• Oily skin: Controls oil production.

• Enlarged pores: Cleans and tightens pores.

• Uneven skin tone: Reduces pigmentation and brightens skin.

 

Side Effects

• Mild Redness: Some people experience slight redness post-treatment, which usually subsides within a few hours.

• Temporary Dryness: Skin might feel dry immediately after the treatment.

• Sun Sensitivity: Sun protection is crucial after treatment to prevent irritation and pigmentation.

 

The carbon peel is safe, painless, and suitable for most skin types. Multiple sessions are often recommended for the best results.
