Carbon Peel with Q-Switched Laser
What Is a Carbon Peel?
Carbon peel, also known as the Hollywood Peel or Carbon Laser Facial, is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment performed using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. A medical-grade carbon lotion is applied to the skin and then activated by the laser to exfoliate, cleanse pores, reduce oil, and stimulate collagen for an immediate glow. This treatment is popular due to its instant results, no downtime, and suitability for most skin types.
​
How Does Carbon Peel Work?​
-
A thin layer of carbon lotion is applied to the skin and allowed to penetrate pores.
-
The Q-switched laser targets the carbon particles.
-
Laser energy heats and explodes the carbon, removing dead skin cells, debris, and oil.
-
The laser also delivers thermal stimulation to the dermis, promoting collagen production and skin tightening.
The result is cleaner pores, smoother texture, reduced oil, and brighter skin.
