CARBON LASER FACIAL
Carbon Laser Facials are one of the latest innovative non invasive facial rejuvenation treatments available. This is a superficial treatment that helps with acne, enlarged pores, oily skin, and uneven skin tone. It’s sometimes called a carbon laser peel or the Hollywood Facial. Despite the name, a carbon laser facial isn't actually peeling your skin. With no downtime this treatment, delivers immediate results that will help to create a much brighter, more youthful complexion.
The Carbon Laser Peel Treatment helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and the process is non invasive and pain free. The laser treatment is suitable for all ages and can lighten age spots and dark spots, fade freckles, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, shrink pores, and remove blackheads and help with acne. It can also tighten the skin, improve elasticity, and give a bright and radiant complexion.
How does Laser Carbon Facial work?
The principle behind the Carbon Laser Facial is that carbon powder possesses a strong capacity to absorb dirt deep in the pores. First, carbon nano-particles are applied to the skin: Next the laser is used on the skin. The laser seeks out the carbon pigment and is able to direct its energy to the epidermal keratinocytes and dirt. The heat from the laser also stimulates the skin cells to produce collagen and elastin.
Benefits of Carbon Laser Facials include:
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Tightens dilated pores
Reduces acne, scars and post-acne discoloration
Removes dead skin cells from the superficial epidermal layer
Stimulates collagen growth
Improves skin texture
Clears pores to help reduce blackheads and whiteheads
As with all advanced treatments, pre care, post care, and SPF are recommended. Please reach out with questions or for a consult!
