Carbon Laser Peel, also known as the Hollywood Peel, is a safe and effective laser treatment that combines the power of a carbon mask and a Q-Switched YAG Laser. The procedure involves applying a thin layer of medical-grade carbon onto the skin, which penetrates deep into the pores. Subsequently, a laser is used to heat and vaporise the carbon, eliminating impurities and stimulating collagen production in the process. This state of the art aesthetic technology is comfortable and can even be used in conjunction with our other treatments, including microdermabrasion and chemical peels.
Benefits of Carbon Laser Peel Treatment
Carbon laser facials target the deep layers of your skin to stimulate collagen production, rewarding you with a healthy, glowing and more youthful complexion. The benefits of carbon laser peel treatments include:
Improved Skin Tone and Texture: Carbon laser peel effectively exfoliates the skin, removing dead cells and unclogging pores. This leads to a smoother and more even complexion.
Reduction of Acne and Oil Production: The treatment targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces sebum production, making it an excellent option for individuals struggling with acne-prone skin.
Minimisation of Enlarged Pores: The laser’s thermal effect helps to tighten and minimise the appearance of enlarged pores, resulting in a refined and more youthful-looking complexion.
Pigmentation and Sunspot Reduction: Carbon laser peel aids in fading pigmentation, sunspots, and uneven skin tone, leaving behind a clearer and more radiant complexion.
Skin Rejuvenation: The treatment stimulates collagen production, promoting skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

How Many Carbon Laser Peel Treatments Do I Need?
The number of treatments required can vary depending on several factors, including your specific skin concerns, the severity of the condition, and your desired outcome. While some individuals may see noticeable improvement after a single treatment, most individuals benefit from a series of sessions to achieve optimal results.
On average, a recommended treatment plan may consist of 4 to 6 sessions spaced approximately 2 to 4 weeks apart, with a maximum of 10 sessions to achieve the best results. Regular laser facials every 1 to 3 months can also help to maintain a healthy, glowing complexion. This spacing allows your skin to heal and rejuvenate between treatments while ensuring progressive improvement over time. However, it’s important to note that this is a general guideline, and your skin therapist will assess your unique situation to determine the most suitable treatment plan for you during your initial consultation.
Potential Drawbacks of Carbon Laser Peel Treatment
While carbon laser peel treatment is generally safe and well-tolerated by many, it’s important to be aware of potential drawbacks:
Sensitivity:
Some individuals may experience temporary redness, mild swelling, or a warm sensation during and after the treatment. These side effects typically subside within a few hours.
Not Suitable for All Skin Types:
Carbon laser peel may not be suitable for individuals with certain skin conditions, such as active acne, infections, open wounds, or certain skin disorders. As such, it is important to consult with your skin therapist during your initial consultation to assess your skin type and condition to determine if the treatment is appropriate for you.
Multiple Sessions:
As mentioned above, achieving optimal results may require a series of treatment sessions, depending on the individual’s skin condition and desired outcome.
Sun Sensitivity:
Following a carbon laser peel, the skin may be more sensitive to sunlight. It is crucial to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen and limit sun exposure to minimise the risk of sun damage
