Carbon Laser Peel Treatment

 A popular way to moderate mild skin problems is a carbon laser peel. A carbon laser peel is a surface treatment that helps with acne, large pores, and oily skin, and uneven skin tone. They are sometimes called carbon laser facials.

Despite the name, a carbon laser peel is not a traditional chemical peel, instead your doctor will use a carbon solution and lasers to create an exfoliating effect; lasers don't penetrate too deeply into the skin so recovery time is very short. The treatment takes about 30 minutes and you can immediately go about your usual activities.

How does it work?

Carbon laser peels are usually done in a doctor's office or spa. It is done by a layer of liquid carbon that is applied to the skin and penetrates deep into the pores. it removes carbon and dead skin cells, oil, and Skin contaminants by passing through the skin. (It is noteworthy that Laser strongly absorbs carbon particles and is specialized for this procedure)

 if we want to describe the steps in more detail:

Carbon peeling is a two-step process:

  1. In the first step, the specialist puts activated charcoal lotion (a dark cream that is an exfoliating treatment and prepares the skin for the next steps) on the skin, the patient will sit with it on the face for some minutes to let it dry. As the lotion dries, it adheres with oil, dirt, and other skin contaminants. then the laser reaches the dermis at a wavelength of around 1060 nm and heat controls the thermal damage to make the healing process, which increases the production of components of connective tissue such as collagen, elastin, and fibroblasts. It causes deformation in skin rejuvenation and treatment of wrinkles. The heat generated also deforms and shrinks the pores, making it an appropriate treatment for people with large pores in their skin. For fighting against acne, this treatment reduces acne and related inflammation by going directly to the acne membrane and eliminating it.
  2. The second part of the treatment is the removal of carbon lotion with a Q-Switched laser with a short pulse that breaks down the carbon into tiny particles and absorbs them, then the laser removes dead skin cells, fats, and impurities attached to it and removes it. 

 

In addition to treating acne (mentioned before), carbon laser peels may also improve:

    1. Color and texture opaque
    2. Symptoms of premature aging
    3. Delicate lines and wrinkles
    4. Greasy skin
    5. Dark spots
    6. Mild acne scars

How much does a laser carbon peel cost?

Costs are mostly determined based on the experience of the specialists and cosmetologists doing the procedure, and also geographical location and access to the provider.
