Carbon Laser Therapy (Carbon Peel Facial)

Carbon Laser Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive laser treatment that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and rejuvenates the skin.
It uses a thin layer of medical-grade liquid carbon applied to the face, which absorbs oil, dirt, and impurities. When the laser passes over the area, the carbon particles are destroyed, removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores — leaving the skin clean, smooth, and glowing.
This treatment is often called the “Hollywood Peel” because of its instant brightening and refining effect on the skin.
How It Works
A layer of carbon lotion is applied to the skin.
The carbon penetrates deep into pores, binding to oil and impurities.
The Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser is then applied — it heats and vaporises the carbon, taking dead cells and debris with it.
The heat also stimulates collagen production, tightens pores, and refines skin texture.
Benefits of Carbon Laser Therapy

Oil & Acne Control: Reduces sebum production and acne-causing bacteria.
Pore Tightening: Minimises enlarged pores for smoother skin.
Collagen Stimulation: Improves elasticity and firmness.
Skin Brightening: Evens out skin tone and reduces dullness.
Blackhead Removal: Clears blackheads and refines skin texture.
Smooth & Soft Skin: Improves overall skin texture and softness.
No Downtime: Painless procedure with no recovery time.
Suitable for All Skin Types: Safe and effective for oily, combination, or sensitive skin.
Treatment Steps

Carbon Application: A thin layer of carbon lotion is evenly applied.
