Carbon Laser Facial
Often called the 'Hollywood peel', a carbon laser treatment to help clear congestion and leave skin looking brighter and smoother.
What is a Carbon Laser Facial?
A Carbon Laser Facial, often called the 'Hollywood peel', uses a fine layer of carbon applied to the skin, followed by laser energy. The carbon is drawn into the pores, where it attaches to oil and surface impurities, then the laser lifts it away.
The laser's gentle warmth also supports the skin's natural renewal. It's a popular choice for oily and congested skin, and for a fresh, bright complexion before an event. It can also be used on areas such as the underarms, bikini line, elbows and knees.
Benefits of Carbon Laser Facial
Can help clear congestion and impurities from the pores.
Can help reduce the appearance of excess oil and shine.
Can help refine the look of enlarged pores.
Leaves skin looking brighter and more refreshed.
Can help improve the appearance of uneven or darker areas.
Most clients return to their day straight away.
How it works
After your skin is cleansed and protective eyewear is fitted, a fine layer of carbon is applied and left to settle. Your therapist then passes the laser over the skin, which lifts the carbon away along with oil and surface impurities. You may hear a light snapping sound and feel gentle warmth. Calming skincare and SPF finish the treatment.
