What is a carbon peeling?

A carbon peel, also known as a laser carbon peel, is a quick, non-invasive and completely painless procedure designed to improve the appearance and health of the skin. It is suitable for people with acne, enlarged or clogged pores, oily skin, and those who desire a clearer, smoother and more radiant complexion. The treatment deeply exfoliates the skin, stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture and elasticity.

What is a carbon peeling procedure?

The procedure combines the power of laser technology with activated charcoal. A layer of liquid charcoal is applied to the face to penetrate the pores and absorb impurities, excess sebum and dead cells. The laser energy heats and causes the carbon particles to implode, removing them along with the impurities. This results in deep cleansing of the skin, tightening of the pores and stimulation of the cells responsible for collagen and elastin production.

The result? Radiant, smoother and firmer skin with an even complexion and healthy appearance – the perfect solution for anyone who wants visible rejuvenation without recovery time.

Benefits of carbon peeling

Advantages of carbon peeling are its wide applications for the treatment of:

• Acne and excessive oiliness
• Pigmentation caused by acne
• Acne scars
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven complexion and skin texture
• Enlarged pores

Laser carbon peels use heat rather than chemicals to achieve impressive results. The treatment is gentle and safe for most skin types, while being effective for cleansing and rejuvenation. However, people with sensitive skin, eczema or other skin conditions may experience temporary redness or mild irritation.

Consultation with a specialist is essential before any cosmetic procedure. Your specialist will assess your skin type – oily, dry, combination or sensitive – and recommend the best approach for you. Together, you’ll discuss your expected results, the number of treatments required and pre- and post-treatment skin care to ensure you achieve the best possible results.

Recommendations after a carbon peel procedure

• Your skin will be sensitive and needs daily hydration to maintain its health and comfort.
• In the early days, it is normal to observe mild flaking and dryness, which is part of the skin renewal process.
• Regularly use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 for several days after the procedure to protect the skin from the damaging effects of UV rays.
• Avoid using products containing retinol or other active ingredients that can irritate the skin.
• If the procedure is done to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, use products with collagen or follow a diet that stimulates collagen activity to improve results.
• The number of sessions required depends on the area treated and the desired effect.
• A course of 2 to 6 treatments at 2-3 week intervals is usually recommended for optimal results.

How effective is laser carbon peeling? – Laser carbon peels are extremely effective for improving the appearance of skin, especially for oily skin and skin with large pores. If you have acne or scarring, you may need to have several treatments to achieve visible improvement. When treating wrinkles or fine lines, it usually takes between 2 and 6 treatments to significantly reduce them. The treatment is particularly suitable for achieving firmer, clearer and rejuvenated skin.

Advantages of laser carbon peeling over chemical peeling:

• Chemical peels use acids that can cause strong reactions in sensitive skin.
• High concentrations of various acids are required to achieve the results of a laser chemical peel, resulting in redness, swelling and the need for a recovery period.
• For people with more sensitive or problematic skin, laser carbon peels are gentler and provide greater skin calm and comfort.
