Carbon Facial
Carbon Laser Facials are a revolutionary, non-invasive, painless with virtually no-downtime procedure that helps rejuvenate the appearance of aging and damaged skin. It gently removes the top layer of skin, leaving an amazing glow with a vibrant, youthful complexion.
What Is a Carbon Facial?
A carbon facial—also known as a carbon laser peel, Hollywood peel, or charcoal peel—is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment combining a layer of liquid carbon with laser technology to deeply cleanse and revitalize the skin.
How It Works (Overview):
Application of Liquid Carbon: A thin coat of carbon-based lotion is applied to your face. Due to its absorptive properties, the carbon penetrates deep into pores and binds to oil, dirt, and dead cells.
Laser Activation: Once the carbon dries, a laser (typically Q-switched Nd:YAG, around 1064 nm) is passed over the skin. It targets the carbon particles, vaporizing them along with the impurities, while heat stimulates collagen production and skin tightening.
