What is a Carbon Laser Peel?

The Carbon Laser Peel, sometimes called Carbon Laser Facial, is an innovative treatment that combines advanced laser technology with carbon particles.

Celebrities can’t stop talking about this game-changing treatment that rejuvenates your skin, leaving it looking radiant and refreshed (with the added bonus of no downtime!).

When you want red-carpet-ready skin for an upcoming wedding or event, the Carbon Laser Peel is your new best friend.

Because there’s no downtime, you can get the Hollywood peel on repeat — every one, two, or four weeks.

We recommend scheduling a series of three to six treatments when you’re first starting out — multiple treatments maximizes your results and gives your skin that instant inner glow.

How does the Carbon Laser Peel work?

1

Before treatment

During a Carbon Laser Peel at CSLC, we apply a thin layer of medical-grade carbon lotion to your skin. Reminiscent of a mud mask with dark grey-brown coloring, and a rich texture, it’s full of carbon particles that penetrate deep into your pores. This liquid carbon binds to dirt, oil and dead skin cells deeper within your skin and pores.

2

During treatment

After the carbon lotion dries for 20-30 minutes, we pass a low-energy laser across your skin. Gentle heat vaporizes the carbon lotion and, along with it, the impurities it captured. The laser’s heat can improve various aspects of your complexion and boost your skin’s natural production of elastin and collagen. The end result? Revitalized skin and a more vibrant appearance.

After treatment

After just one treatment, skin looks visibly refreshed and instantly feels smoother. Many patients see stubborn blackheads and whiteheads significantly reduced in a single session. This dual-action process is clinically proven to provide multiple benefits, including improved skin texture, tightening of pores, and reduction of acne lesions. As an added bonus, the laser stimulates collagen production, which improves your overall complexion and skin tone from within.

What can the Carbon Laser Peel treat?

The Carbon Laser Peel helps to improve enlarged or clogged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, oily skin, photoaging (premature aging of the skin due to prolonged sun exposure), acne-prone skin, acne pigmentation, and scarring.

Who’s a good candidate for a Carbon Laser Peel?

Unlike chemical peels, The Carbon Laser Peel can be done weekly, making it favorite for patients who can’t get enough of skin that always looks refreshed and vibrant.

Ideal for those with mild acne flares and/or pore congestion, the Hollywood Peel is also kinder to sensitive skin than some other aesthetic options.

When a patient says they want to see immediate improvements in their skin, the Carbon Laser Peel is one of our top go-to treatment recommendations.

And immediately after treatment?

Your celebrity-like glowing skin will radiate! Impurities are washed away, and you’ll be left with instantly smoother skin.
