Carbon laser or soft peeling is a skin cleansing method that is completely painless and works almost immediately. This treatment is especially useful for people who have oily skin or complain of blackheads, open pores, acne and dull skin. Carbon peels are especially useful when you want to improve the appearance of your skin immediately.

How Do Carbon Laser Peels Work?

A carbon laser peel typically involves the following steps:
Carbon lotion : First, your technician will apply a dark-colored cream with a high carbon content to your skin. The lotion is an exfoliating treatment that helps prepare the skin for the next steps. You will sit with it on your face for several minutes to let it dry. As the lotion dries, it bonds with dirt, oil, and other contaminants on the surface of your skin.
Warming laser : Depending on your skin type, your Technician may start with one type of laser to warm your skin. They’ll Pass the laser over your face, which will heat the carbon in the lotion and cause it to absorb impurities on your skin.
Pulsed laser : The final step is a pulsed laser that your technician uses to break down the carbon. The laser destroys the carbon particles and any oil, dead skin cell, bacteria, or other impurities on your face. The heat from the process also signals a healing response in your skin. That stimulates collagen and elastin production to make your skin look firmer.
Because the carbon laser peel is a mild procedure, you won’t need any numbing cream before the treatment. You should be able to leave the office or medi-spa right after it’s over.
