What is a Carbon Peel Laser?
How Does a Carbon Peel Laser Work?
The carbon peel laser works by applying a layer of carbon paste to your skin, which absorbs impurities and reduces inflammation. The laser then targets this carbon layer, breaking it down along with the contaminants and melanin in your skin. This process stimulates collagen production, improving skin laxity and tightening pores. The treatment involves cleaning the skin, applying the carbon paste, and then using the laser to remove it while simultaneously treating skin imperfections. The entire procedure takes about 30 minutes and results in an instantly brighter complexion with improved skin texture.
What Are the Areas Carbon Peel Lasers Used to Treat?
Carbon peel laser treatments are versatile and can address various skin concerns, including:
- Tired, sunken, and aging skin
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Pigmentation
- Acne
- Bacne
- Enlarged pores
How to Look After My Skin After Treatment
Post-treatment, you might experience mild redness, which typically resolves within a few hours. To soothe your skin, apply aloe vera gel. Avoid using oily makeup to prevent pore clogging, and keep your makeup clean and dry initially. For optimal results, protect your skin from the sun by applying SPF 50 sunscreen for the following month and refrain from smoking to prevent hyperpigmentation.
What Should I Know During the Procedure?
The carbon peel laser is a safe and advanced procedure with minimal risk of complications or side effects. You might feel a slight tingling sensation, but there is no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
