Carbon Laser Facial

The Carbon laser facial is an exfoliating and resurfacing treatment. It uses activated carbon powder and advanced lasers to treat many conditions. Gentle on your skin and suitable for all ages, it will leave you and your skin smoother, plumper and refreshed. The carbon particles penetrate the pores, exploding as they absorb the laser energy. Collagen production is stimulated, causing shrinking of the inner walls of the pores. The light exfoliation effect is immediate and as soon as the treatment is over your skin should feel clean with pores cleared. There should be no peeling as experienced with other chemical peels and treatments.

How does the Carbon Laser Facial work?

The procedure takes about 45 minutes starting with the therapist attaching eye protectors to you. A face mask of activated charcoal or carbon powder is prepared and delicately applied to your face. Once applied, it will look like you are wearing a mud mask!

The laser passes over your skin on the emitting pulses which heat thin layers of collagen and skin tissue. The carbon absorbs heat then transfers the heat, so it penetrates deep into your skin.

Laser energy works to break up any pigment, which is carried away by your body naturally. It also helps to stimulate the build-up of collagen which minimises fine lines.

You will hear a soft snapping noise as the carbon is blasted off the skin. You may feel a light tingling. This superficial peeling removes excessive sebum, exfoliates the upper layer of skin, and unclogs pores.

We can use the Cryoglobes to soothe the skin and also a skin specific mask to finish off.

An inflammation defence balm and SPF are applied.

What are the benefits of this treatment?

It can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, even out and improve skin tone, repair sun damage, and treat enlarged pores and acne. Activated carbon can remove deep-seated debris from the skin along with being excellent for treating oily skin. Carbon is well known as a detoxifying agent for the skin. Activated carbon is easily absorbed and removes impurities, dirt, and pollution particles from the skin. After this facial, your skin will be plumper and firmer.
