How it works

Carbon and light, working together

A layer of liquid carbon is applied to the face and allowed to settle into the pores. The laser is then passed over the skin. Its energy is drawn to the carbon, gently heating it and lifting it away along with dead skin cells, excess oil and debris.

This combination exfoliates the skin, helps minimize the appearance of pores and evens skin tone. The gentle heat also helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and calm overactive oil glands, which makes the facial especially well suited to oily skin.

Who it suits

Concerns it addresses

Pores

Enlarged or clogged pores

Helps refine the look of pores and reduce blackheads and whiteheads.

Oil

Oily or acne-prone skin

Helps calm overactive oil glands and reduce acne-causing bacteria.

Marks

Acne scars and discolouration

Supports a more even appearance where breakouts have left marks.

Lines

Fine lines

Can soften the look of fine lines as part of a broader plan.

Tone

Dull or uneven tone

Brightens skin and evens the overall complexion.

Sensitivity

Sensitive skin

Because it uses heat rather than chemicals, people with sensitive skin or eczema often see less redness and irritation than with a chemical peel. Suitability is confirmed at consultation.

What to expect

A multi-step, 30-minute treatment

The Carbon Laser Facial typically takes about 30 minutes, which is why it is often called the lunchtime peel. It begins with a complimentary consultation to confirm the treatment suits your skin.

Cleanse

Your skin is cleansed to prepare the surface.

Carbon

A thin layer of liquid carbon is applied and left to dry.

Laser

The laser is passed over the skin to lift the carbon away. Most clients describe a light, warm, prickling sensation, and the treatment is generally considered comfortable.

Recovery & aftercare

Return to your day

No downtime is typically needed, and most clients return to work or daily plans right away. Some notice slight, temporary pinkness.

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, keep your routine gentle for a day or two, and avoid picking or scrubbing the skin.

Results

Brighter, refined skin

Many clients notice brighter skin and a tighter look to the pores right after treatment.

For ongoing concerns such as congestion, oiliness or acne marks, a series of facials may offer more noticeable improvement over time. Results vary, and we will suggest a schedule based on your skin.

Consultation

Complimentary consultation
