CARBON LASER PEEL

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A LASER CARBON PEEL?

Laser carbon peels deeply exfoliate the skin. They also help stimulate collagen production.

 

WHAT DOES A CARBON LASER FACIAL DO?

THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CARBON LASER & CHEMICAL PEELS:

•laser carbon peels use heat instead of chemicals for results

•laser carbon peels require no down time

•people with sensitive skin or skin conditions like eczema will usually experience 

•less redness and irritation after a carbon peel than from a chemical peel.

 

WHICH ONE IS BETTER HYDRAFACIAL OR CARBON LASER?

The main difference between the two treatment is that HydraFacial is more focused on skin hydration while Carbon Laser Peel targets skin restoration. Being a non ablative treatment, the Carbon Laser Peel can penetrate into deep layers without damaging the top layers resulting in healthy collagen production.

 

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM A TYPICAL LASER CARBON PEEL:

•Your doctor will spread a layer of liquid carbon onto your face. The carbon absorbs oil, dirt, and dead skin cells from deep within the pores.

•You’ll wait for about 10 minutes for the liquid carbon to dry.

•After the carbon has dried, your doctor will give you eye shields to protect your eyes from the laser.

•Your doctor will pass a laser, such as the Nd:YAG, over the skin on a low-energy setting. This heats up the carbon, binding it to the epidermis.

•If you have very sensitive skin or dark patches like melasma, your doctor may recommend skipping the heating step. The laser also heats up subdermal tissue, boosting collagen and plumping up fine lines.

•On a higher-energy setting, the laser will be used to fragment the liquid carbon into tiny particles.

•A smoke evaporator attached to the laser will remove the carbon as well as the debris and impurities it contains.

•Your doctor may also apply a hydrating moisturizer and sunscreen to your skin after treatment.
