From Dull to Radiant: Exploring Carbon Laser Peels
August 1, 2024
If you struggle with large pores and acne or fine lines and wrinkles are starting to show your age, you may be looking for a new facial rejuvenation solution. The carbon laser peel, often referred to as the ‘Hollywood peel’ or ‘lunchtime peel,’ may be just the treatment you are looking for. Often completed in a simple 30-minute treatment, a carbon laser peel addresses many facial concerns while delivering complete facial rejuvenation. Let’s explore how the carbon laser peel provides skin exfoliation and stimulates collagen production to help you turn back the clock and restore youthful beauty with little to no downtime!
What is a Carbon Laser Peel and What Should I Expect?
A
carbon laser peel
is a multi-part process that combines liquid carbon with specialized lasers that work to exfoliate the skin, remove impurities, and promote increased collagen production.
Your carbon peel procedure begins with a thin layer of liquid carbon spread onto your face. Once in contact with the skin, the carbon binds with oils, dirt, and dead skin cells on both the skin’s surface and deep within the pores. Once the carbon binds and dries, a low-energy laser is applied to heat the carbon, helping to increase binding while also stimulating collagen production and plumping up fine lines. Afterward, a high-energy laser breaks up the carbon and, with the help of an evaporator, removes the carbon and debris from your face, revealing a rejuvenated skin surface.
What Does a Carbon Laser Peel Address?
A carbon laser peel addresses various skin conditions and imperfections that can occur with age. Common conditions well-treated with this procedure include:
- Treatment of acne through the removal of oil, dirt, and bacteria found in the pores
- Reduction in pore size
- Reduce oil production in the skin that contributes to acne
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles through increased collagen production
- Melasma (dark spots) reduction through the breakup of melanin cells in the skin
- Improved skin texture and even skin tone thanks to the increased production of collagen, elastin, and fibroblast cells as well as the removal of melanin
Benefits of a Carbon Laser Peel
While traditional lasers and chemical peels can provide many of these same treatments, the carbon laser peel is gaining popularity because, in addition to addressing all these skin concerns, the carbon laser peel also offers many advantages. These advantages include:
- Minimal to NO downtime!
- Instant results
- Can be combined with other treatments for optimal results
- Safe for all skin types
Are You a Good Candidate?
While most individuals are suitable candidates for this facial treatment, those with particularly sensitive skin may wish to refrain from it or Alora providers may recommend skipping the heating step in the carbon laser peel. Additionally, individuals who have recently experienced sunburns or are taking specific medications (such as Accutane) should also avoid this procedure.
