Treatment Benefits
Skin cleansing: Carbon has the ability to absorb oil and contaminants from deep within the pores. When the laser is passed over the treatment area it targets and destroys the carbon particles, taking any absorbed material with it.
Exfoliation: As the carbon is targeted by the laser, it blasts away dead skin cells and effectively exfoliates the skin. The result is softer, radiant skin with reduced pore size and a more even skin tone.
Skin rejuvenation: Carbon peels also target the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, which in turn produces firmer, plumper skin, reduces wrinkles, and leaves the skin feeling tighter and glowing.
Acne management: The heat produced by carbon peels helps in reducing the bacteria responsible for acne, allowing for better management of pimples and it also shrinks oil producing glands, resulting in less oil production.
Do’s & Don’ts
It is a very safe treatment with almost no side-effects. Before any laser treatment, the skin has to be well-hydrated so use of appropriate facewash, moisturiser and sunscreens are advised before and after carbon peeling.
