Carbon Facial (Hollywood Peel)

Experience glowing, refreshed skin with the carbon facial, a celebrity-favorite treatment also known as the Hollywood Peel. This non-invasive procedure combines laser technology and activated carbon to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and rejuvenate the skin.

At Adorn Laser Clinic we use the carbon facial to help restore the skins natural protective barrier. Over time the skin can develop a range of conditions that affect its youthful tone and texture. The changes that occur naturally, and several external factors, can cause the skin to show noticeable irregularities as skin weakens and cellular turnover slows down. The properties within the skin that help maintain the complexion natural glow start to decrease, giving way to dry skin susceptible to inflammation and sensitivity.

How does the carbon facial peel work?

The Carbon Peel restores the skin’s protective barrier by removing unwanted and damaged skin cells. The treatment is performed in two stages.

First, carbon is applied to the skin, followed by laser. The targeted heat of the laser causes controlled damage, triggering natural healing responses that increase collagen, elastin, and fibroblast production.

In the second stage, the carbon solution is removed using a Q-switched laser that breaks up and absorbs the carbon using short pulses. This also removes any dead cells, excess oil, and other impurities lying on the skin’s surface. This process also provides deep exfoliation for skin that is brighter, smoother and softer.

This treatment is perfect for clients with:

• Acne-prone skin.
• Dull or congested complexions.
• Uneven tone and texture.

Are there any side effects or risks?

In most cases, the patient will experience some redness to the skin for the first few hours, following treatment. During this time, it is important to keep the skin clean, dry and free of cosmetics. To ensure pigmentation issues do not arise, wearing a high SPF (50+) for up to 1 month will be required. In some rare cases, blistering has occurred, so ensuring you share your medical history with your practitioner is vital to reduce the risk of a reaction.

How much down time can I expect ?

Unlike other peel treatments, the carbon peel has no downtime attached. The solution applied to the face works more like a mask that draws out the skin’s impurities, rather than chemical compounds of various acids that penetrate the skin – and cause the skin to peel. With the carbon peel, there will be no shedding of the skin and the visible effects of this process and the sensitivity of the skin heals.
