Carbon peel is a fast and painless procedure to treat acne prone skin, blackheads, sun damaged skin, fine lines, age spots and dark spots.
It uses liquid carbon over face which goes deep down to pores. A laser is then used to blast the carbon away and in turn opening the pores and removing dead skin cells.
Carbon peel is a lunchtime peel that is completed in 30 minutes. It is a multi-step process.
A layer of liquid carbon is spread on face. Carbon goes deep into pores and absorbs oil, dirt particles.
After 10 minutes when the carbon has dried, an eye shield is given for eye protection from laser.
A laser is then passed over the carbon which peels the superficial dead skin layer and causes a tightening effect on deep layers.
Smoke evaporator attached to the laser then removes the carbon and finer particles.
Carbon peel is very effective for oily skin and improving texture of skin. It is useful treatment for fine lines and wrinkles. Regular sessions also help in reducing the severity of acne and giving a smoother skin.
