Busy schedules, constant screen time and city pollution can leave the skin looking tired and uneven. Over time, pores may get clogged and breakouts become more frequent. While skincare routines can help, they do not always go deep enough. That is where treatments like the Laser Carbon Peel come in - offering clearer, smoother and more radiant skin with minimal effort. It uses a carbon lotion and laser to clean and refresh the skin’s surface. Unlike deep treatments, it does not go far into the skin, so there’s little to no downtime and most people can return to their normal routine right after the 30-minute session.
Process: To begin, a dark-coloured cream with a high carbon content is applied to the skin. This exfoliating lotion helps prepare the skin by bonding with dirt, oil and other impurities. After allowing it to dry, the doctor uses a laser to gently warm your skin, which heats the carbon and helps it absorb the impurities. The final step involves a pulsed laser that breaks down the carbon, removing any oil, dead skin cells, bacteria and other contaminants. The heat also stimulates your skin to produce collagen and elastin, improving firmness. Since this is a mild procedure, no numbing cream is necessary and you can resume your day immediately after the treatment.
Laser carbon peels are often highly effective for improving the appearance of oily skin and minimizing large pores. For those with severe acne or acne scars, multiple treatments may be necessary before achieving optimal results. Fine lines and wrinkles can also show noticeable improvement after one or more sessions. For instance, a case study highlighted a young woman with severe cystic acne who underwent six treatments spaced two weeks apart. By the fourth treatment, there was significant improvement, and after the sixth session, her acne was reduced by 90%. These results were still visible two months later. However, similar to chemical peels, the effects of laser carbon peels are not permanent and maintenance treatments may be needed to preserve the results. Treatments can be scheduled every two to three weeks to allow collagen regeneration. Since everyone's skin responds differently, it is important to consult with a doctor or licensed professional to determine how many sessions you will need to achieve the best outcome.
After a laser carbon peel, it’s normal to feel a mild tingling and notice some redness, but there are usually no serious side effects. To keep the skin safe and get the best results, it’s important to have the treatment done by a trained and certified professional. This also helps protect sensitive areas like the eyes during the procedure.
