Book NowFrequently Asked Questions
What Is Carbon Laser Facial?
The carbon laser facial combines the power of carbon gel with advanced laser technology to deliver deep skin cleansing and rejuvenation. A layer of liquid carbon is applied to the face (or body), allowing it to penetrate deeply into the pores and dry. The activated carbon bonds with any debris present, such as dead skin cells, contaminants, and oil.
The Q-Switch Nd-Yag laser is then passed across the surface of the skin. The laser light is highly attracted to carbon particles, and its energy and heat are absorbed by the carbon paste, destroying the particles in the pores. This reaction causes a mini explosion, pushing the energy in the form of heat deep into the skin layers, where elastin and collagen are activated, and cells begin producing anew. On the surface, the carbon is vaporized along with any dirt, oil, or dead skin cells.
This process not only deeply cleanses the skin but also stimulates collagen production, resulting in firmer, more youthful-looking skin. The procedure is non-invasive, painless, and has virtually no downtime, making it an excellent option for quick skin rejuvenation.
What Are the Benefits of Carbon Laser?
The carbon laser peel, also known as the Hollywood peel, offers a multitude of benefits for various skin concerns. It effectively treats issues such as uneven skin tone, texture, oily, and acne-prone skin. The treatment’s deep cleansing properties make it ideal for shrinking enlarged pores and regulating sebum production.
Additionally, it helps calm down active acne and improves the appearance of acne scarring. The stimulation of collagen over time helps to reduce fine lines and improve skin elasticity, providing a more youthful appearance. It is also known for its ability to quickly refresh the skin, leaving a vibrant and youthful complexion.
What Are Common Areas for Carbon Laser Facial Application?
The versatility of the China doll facial allows it to be used on multiple areas of the body, including:
- Face
- Neck
- Décolleté
- Back
- Arms
- Hands
Whether targeting enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, or oiliness, this treatment can revitalize and rejuvenate your skin across various regions.
Am I a Good Candidate for Carbon Laser Facial?
Hollywood laser peel treatment is suitable for a wide range of individuals. You are a good candidate if you are looking to combat early signs of aging, have oily or acne-prone skin, and are experiencing hormonal breakouts. If you seek improved skin texture, tone, and radiance, or want to minimize scars, fine lines, and pores, the carbon laser facial could be perfect for you. It is also ideal for those who want a non-invasive, quick option with near-immediate results and no downtime.
When Should I Avoid Carbon Laser Facial?
Certain conditions may require you to avoid this treatment. If you have heat-sensitive skin, dry or irritated skin conditions, or active infection in the treatment area you should refrain from the carbon laser facial. Dr. Schwarzburg will determine if you are not a candidate during the initial consultation.
Is There Any Preparation Needed?
Preparation for the carbon laser facial is minimal and straightforward. To ensure optimal results, discontinue the use of prescription medications and skin care products containing tretinoin, retinoids, and salicylic acids. Use high-SPF sunscreen if spending time outdoors. This ensures your skin is in the best condition for the treatment, with almost no other preparation needed.
What Is the Actual Carbon Laser Peel Process?
At Skinly Aesthetics, Dr. Schwarzburg ensures a meticulous approach to the carbon laser facial procedure. First, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove surface impurities. Next, a thin layer of carbon lotion is applied to the treatment area, allowing it to penetrate deeply into the pores and dry. The Nd-Yag laser then targets the carbon particles, causing them to burst and remove impurities.
After the laser treatment, the skin is cleansed again to remove any remaining carbon residue. Finally, a soothing gel or lotion is applied to calm the skin and reduce redness. This gentle procedure is safe on all skin types and provides immediate results with no downtime.
Is There Any Aftercare Or Downtime?
Post-treatment care is minimal, with some redness being the most common side effect. Regular moisturization will help manage any temporary dryness or minor peeling. Avoid direct sunlight, use high-SPF sunscreen, and steer clear of aggressive skin products for 3-5 days. Makeup should be avoided for 24 hours to allow the skin to recover fully.
Are There Any Risks Or Complications?
The carbon laser peel is renowned for its safety, with minimal risks when performed by a licensed professional like Dr. Schwarzburg. Potential side effects include minor redness and light peeling, which can be managed with proper aftercare.
When Will I See The Results?
Immediate improvements in skin clarity and brightness can be seen after just one session. Your skin will appear more radiant, pores will be visibly smaller, and the overall texture will be smoother. For lasting results, regular treatments are recommended. With each session, the benefits are compounded, leading to prolonged skin health and vibrancy.
How Often Should I Do the Procedure?
Typically, 4-6 sessions over 3-6 weeks provide foundational results, with maintenance treatments every 3-6 months ensuring prolonged skin health and vibrancy.
