What is Carbon Peel ?

Carbon peel is a technology used to exfoliate the upper layer of the skin with a laser, simultaneously repairing and stimulating collagen production. This rejuvenates the skin, making it firm and soft.

How does Carbon Peel work?

The treatment involves applying a carbon solution to the skin, which penetrates between the cells of the upper skin layer. When the laser is applied to the skin, the carbon absorbs the laser’s thermal energy. Once the carbon reaches a certain temperature, it explodes into tiny particles. This explosion between the skin cells exfoliates the upper layer, effectively removing abnormal pigmentation such as melasma or dark spots. It also reduces melanin production and strengthens existing collagen.

Steps in Carbon Peel Treatment

• Apply the carbon solution to the targeted area (the carbon solution is mixed in mineral oil).
• Use a laser on the skin where the carbon solution has been applied (the laser used is Medlite Q-Switch Nd).

Results of Carbon Peel Treatment

• Exfoliates the upper skin layer
• Revitalizes collagen
• Reduces pigmentation and dark spots
• Brightens the skin and evens out skin tone
• Softens the skin
• Minimizes pores
• Reduces fine lines

Advantages of Carbon Peel Over Other Exfoliation Methods

• No chemical irritation from acids
• Does not feel like sandpaper scraping the skin, unlike Microdermabrasion
• Allows immediate return to daily activities post-treatment
• No scabbing, no pain, no bleeding, and no need for anesthesia
• Long-lasting results
• Suitable for both fair and dark skin

Sensation During Carbon Peel Treatment

Applying the carbon solution does not cause irritation or burning. During the laser application, the skin feels warm, and there is a smell of carbon being vaporized. Post-treatment, some patients might experience slight pinkness for 15-45 minutes without any burning sensation.

Frequency of Carbon Peel Treatments for Visible Results

Noticeable improvements can be seen after the first treatment, with brighter skin, tighter pores, and reduced dark spots. For optimal results, continue treatment every 3 weeks for at least 3 sessions, or as recommended by your doctor.
