Carbon peel is a laser facial that cleans pores and leaves the skin fresher and smoother. At Gall Tattoo Studio in Lyubimets it is done with the picosecond handpiece of our laser system. Treatments are performed by Gall (Galina Srebreva), who is trained and certified to work with the laser.
How it works
- We cleanse the face.
- We apply a thin carbon mask that settles into the pores.
- The laser heats and breaks up the mask, removing impurities and dead cells with it.
The treatment takes about 30 minutes.
Who it suits
- Enlarged pores and oily skin
- Tired, uneven complexion
- Before an event, when you want fresh skin with no downtime
Who it does NOT suit
- Active inflamed acne (cysts, pustules), a rosacea flare, cold sores or wounds on the face.
- Isotretinoin (Roaccutane) now or in the last 6 months.
- A fresh tan or recent sunbed use.
- Pregnancy.
- A chemical peel, retinoids or microneedling in the last 1–2 weeks.
If you have a skin condition or take medication, talk to a dermatologist first.
Does it hurt?
It is usually not painful. It feels like warmth, light tingling and small snaps on the skin.
After the treatment
- Normal: mild redness for a few hours. Most people go back to their day straight away.
- Less common: mild redness or sensitivity for 1–2 days.
- Rare: temporary darkening of the skin, mostly on darker or tanned skin.
- Care: SPF 50 for the following days and no exfoliants or retinoids for 3–5 days.
