Carbon laser peel
The Carbon Laser Peel, commonly known as the Hollywood Laser Peel, is a painless treatment that achieves a porcelain complexion, cleanses and tightens pores, reduces skin irregularities, improves skin texture, and evens out the skin tone. After the treatment, the skin looks healthier and younger, so it’s no surprise that it’s among the top ‘must-have’ treatments for that Hollywood glow and porcelain complexion. This is literally a ‘lunch break’ treatment because it is entirely non-invasive, quick, and requires no recovery time, yet provides an immediate ‘wow’ effect and long-term skin benefits.
Treatment
The laser treatment is performed over a black carbon mask that is rich in vitamins and sea minerals. The carbon micro-particles penetrate deeply into the pores and are attracted by the laser’s energy. It is conducted using the Nd Yag dermatological laser, which has its valuable and extensive application in medicine. The interaction between carbon particles and the laser, based on the ‘micro-explosion’ principle, not only cleanses the pores but also has a peeling effect on the skin surface. Additionally, it heats the upper layer of the dermis, stimulating the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. During the procedure, one might feel a slight warming and tingling on the skin, which is normal as the laser removes a thin layer of carbon.
Candidates
This treatment is particularly beneficial for individuals with oily skin, blackheads, enlarged pores, dull skin, acne, pigmentation, and fine lines. It’s also an excellent method for exfoliating and refreshing your skin, offering a rejuvenated look and leaving the skin softer, smoother, and firmer. The Carbon peel is ideal for anyone in need of exfoliation, facial cleansing, regeneration, and reduced sebum secretion.
Results
The recommended number of treatments varies individually, based on skin type and condition. Generally, between 3-6 treatments are suggested to witness improvements in skin tone and texture. The gap between two sessions is typically 2-3 weeks.
Recovery
After the treatment, the skin may appear slightly red and there might be a faint burning sensation, which subsides shortly after the procedure. Occasionally, one might observe red papules that fade half an hour post-treatment and slight pigmentation that diminishes over several days. Patients can immediately resume their regular activities. It is advisable to avoid saunas, swimming pools, and hot baths right after the treatment. However, one should be cautious about direct sun exposure for several weeks after any laser skin treatment. The use of sunscreen cream is recommended.
