Short answer: carbon peel is a laser procedure for the face that cleans the pores and makes the skin fresher and smoother. It takes about 30 minutes and has no recovery period. For a more lasting result we recommend a course of several sessions 2 to 4 weeks apart.
How it goes
- We clean the face.
- We apply a thin layer of carbon mask that gets into the pores.
- The laser heats and breaks the mask. Together with it, dirt and dead cells are removed.
What the laser does
The carbon lotion dries on the skin and binds to dirt, oil and dead cells. The pulses of the laser then break the carbon down together with what is stuck to it, and the heat is also meant to stimulate the skin to produce collagen. No numbing cream is needed.
Who it suits
- Enlarged pores and oily skin.
- A tired, uneven skin tone.
- Before an event, when you want fresh skin without a recovery period.
It is also used for dull skin, light dark spots and mild acne scars. If you have problematic acne, talk to a dermatologist first: carbon peel does not replace medical treatment.
Does it hurt
No. The feeling is a light warming and tingling, and some people feel a little stinging.
After the procedure
There can be a slight redness for a short time, usually gone within a day. Most people go back to their day right away. Use sunscreen in the following days. If you use prescription skin products such as retinoids, tell us before the procedure, because they may need to be paused.
How often
The effect is felt after the first procedure. For a more lasting result we recommend a course of several procedures, 2 to 4 weeks apart. Other sources mention a course of about four to six procedures.
What science says
Carbon peel is a popular cosmetic procedure, but the published evidence is limited and mostly based on small studies and case reports. Realistic expectations are fresher, cleaner-looking skin, not a miracle.
