What is a carbon laser peel?
Carbon laser peels are a type of laser treatment that uses a carbon peel prior to the laser treatment, to further enhance skin tone and texture while effectively reducing the size of your pores.

What are the benefits of a carbon laser peel?
The benefits of a carbon laser treatment are multifold!
– Reduces acne breakouts and inflammation by controlling sebum production
– Minimises pore size and unclogs pores
– Lightens pigmentation and acne scars
– Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
– Exfoliating effect: removes dead skin cells
– Improves skin texture and tone
– No downtime
What can I expect during the procedure?
The carbon cream is applied to your face before your laser treatment, allowing it to be deeply absorbed by your pores. The carbon cream has the ability to absorb impurities deep within your skin. A topical anaesthetic can also be applied by one of our experienced therapists, should you require it.
During the laser treatment, the light from the laser beam breaks down the carbon cream, causing multiple tiny ‘explosions’ of carbon particles that both exfoliate the skin and remove impurities that the carbon cream has absorbed. This process also releases a smaller amount of heat, stimulating collagen production, reducing acne inflammation and lightening acne scars.
Patients often report finding the procedure comfortable and tolerable – most generally experience a warm sensation as a result of the mild heat produced by the laser.
There is no downtime associated with this procedure. Feel free to apply makeup or resume your daily activities immediately after your treatment!
