What is a carbon laser treatment?

A CARBON laser treatment is a type of treatment for the face, chest or hands & leaves skin softer, firmer & smoother.

It is a non-invasive procedure & is sometimes called the charcoal treatment or charcoal peel.

It involves applying a layer of liquid carbon over the area to be treated, which penetrates deep into the pores.

A laser blasts the carbon away, with the light highly attracted to carbon particles.

The carbon absorbs contaminants, & when the laser destroys the carbon it gets rid of these too.

The laser also removes dead skin cells, blackheads & oil leaving you with a fresh looking, soft to the touch, toned,     rejuvenated face!

​

​What Is This Treatment for?

This treatment is for improving fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, black heads, acne, sun spots,

pigmentation, dry patches & minimising pores.  It works by stimulating skin cell & collagen fibre

renewal & elastic fibre repair, leading to a more youthful radiant appearance with improved  skin tone

& texture.  This treatment works effectively on the face, chest, hands & is suitable for most skin types.

​

How Does it Work?

A thin layer of carbon paste is applied to the surface of the skin & is absorbed by the dead skin cells. The laser is then directed at the area which gently & effectively vaporises the carbon particles along with the dead skin cells giving the immediate effect of a gentle laser peel.  

At the same time the laser works to stimulate regeneration & production of collagen in the skin, giving long term results for plumper, firmer skin

​

Do I need to do anything beforehand?

·         The area to be treated should be free from make-up, perfume, deodorant & body or face creams. Be careful when using spray deodorant prior to treatment.

·         It is also important to make sure your skin is healthy, if you have any cuts or damage (e.g. sunburn) this must completely heal before treatment.

·         There should be no active or fake tan in the area to be treated. Use of sun beds or prolonged exposure to sunlight is not recommended for one month prior to treatment & an SPF 30+ must be used on the area being treated.

·         Medical history is taken at consultation, but I rely on you to inform me of any changes to this. I need to know of any medication you are taking including those bought from a chemist or herbalist.

·         Make sure that you arrive in good time for your appointment; this will allow me to pre-cool the skin if this should be required.
