What Does a Carbon Laser Peel Treat?

The carbon laser peel is effective for treating acne, along with other facial concerns. It is great on the body to brighten and even skin tone.

Treating acne:

The whole process works to eliminate oil, debris, and bacteria in the pores, which are often causes of acne. Doctors find that it can clear up existing acne and prevent new breakouts from occurring for weeks or months.‌

You may need multiple treatments to see effects on acne. The treatment is non-irritating, so it doesn’t make inflamed skin feel worse during treatment. You can repeat carbon laser peels as necessary without negative side effects.‌‌

Treating uneven (darkened skin):

Using a carbon facial on the body involves using our laser with carbon to target pigment cells that are causing discoloration or dark spots on the skin. During treatment sessions laser pulses will be delivered directly to affected areas with precise accuracy without damaging any surrounding healthy tissue. Over several treatments, the laser works to break down existing pigmentation cells so that new cell growth will produce less melanin resulting in lighter colored skin tones. Popular areas to treat are, Underarms, Bikini, Hands, and behind the neck. We can use this same process on other areas upon request.

Preparation and Recovery:

Carbon laser peels are entirely non-invasive and very mild.

The procedure itself is painless, though some people say they feel a mild stinging sensation during the treatment. Most people feel fine immediately afterward. The most common side effect is slight redness, which usually subsides within a day.

You will probably notice some improvement after one treatment, which exfoliates the skin and unclogs pores so that it looks brighter and clearer right away. Your results may continue to improve over time as your skin begins to produce more collagen and elastin.‌‌

We suggest multiple carbon laser peels for maximum effectiveness — often four to six appointments spaced several weeks apart.
