Carbon Facials

Carbon Laser treatments are often referred to as ‘China Doll Facials’ or ‘Hollywood Peels’. Carbon Laser treatments utilize a Q-Switch laser mechanism, and liquid carbon is applied to the treatment area.

When the laser passes over the liquid carbon, the energy is absorbed, shattering the carbon into tiny particles. As the carbon is removed, superficial epidermal cells, contaminants, impurities, and oil are removed with it. This process delivers instant exfoliation, deep cleansing, and rejuvenation.

The sensation of a Carbon Laser treatment is comfortable and described as warm tingling or light flicking on the skin.

Considerations For optimal results, Carbon Laser treatments should be performed in the course of 4-6 treatments every 2-4 weeks, depending on the client’s skin.
