Carbon Laser Peel

A carbon laser peel applies a fine carbon mask to the skin, which the laser then targets to exfoliate, draw out impurities and refine pores while gently warming the skin to encourage radiance. Sometimes called a 'Hollywood peel', it suits oily or congested skin and gives an immediate freshening effect with no real downtime. MediLaser prices it from the face up to face, neck and décolleté.

A carbon laser peel is a quick, no-downtime treatment that combines a topical carbon mask with laser light. A layer of liquid carbon is applied and allowed to settle into the pores; the laser is then passed over the skin, where its energy is strongly absorbed by the carbon particles. As the carbon is targeted, it exfoliates the surface, lifts away dead cells, oil and debris from the pores, and the gentle heat is associated with a temporary boost in skin radiance and a refined look to the pores. At MediLaser the treatment takes around twenty to thirty minutes and is comfortable, usually felt as a light warm tingling with a faint snapping sound as the laser meets the carbon. There is essentially no downtime — the skin may look slightly pink for a short time but is typically left looking brighter and feeling smoother straight away, which makes it a popular pre-event 'glow' treatment. It is particularly suited to oily, congested or dull skin and enlarged pores. Because the effect is refreshing rather than deeply remodelling, a short series of sessions is often used to maintain clarity over time. The clinic prices the peel by area. Suitability and any precautions, including avoiding recent sun exposure, are checked beforehand.
