Carbon laser facial (Hollywood Peel) using a Q-Switch Nd-YAG laser applied over a thin layer of liquid carbon gel to exfoliate, reduce pore size, improve skin tone, and address mild acne and pigmentation. The carbon particles absorb laser energy and vaporise on contact, mechanically exfoliating the skin and delivering heat into the follicular openings. No downtime — skin appears immediately brighter and more refined. Popular pre-event skin treatment.

Addresses wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, rough skin texture, uneven tone, and seborrheic keratoses. $299 per session. Some downtime expected as the skin undergoes a controlled resurfacing and recovery process.

Carbon Laser Facial (Hollywood Peel) using the Lumenis PiQo4 laser to exfoliate, reduce oiliness, minimise pores, improve acne, and brighten skin tone.
