What is a Carbon Laser Facial and why should I have one?

You may have seen the cool videos on instagram reels or TikTok of women having a black powder on their face and being wiped off with a laser…but what actually is a Carbon Laser Facial and why should you invest in one?


Carbon laser facials are one of the most popular skin treatments on the market today, they use laser technology to improve the appearance of the skin and the results are incredible!


This non-invasive treatment is a great option for people who want to rejuvenate their skin without undergoing injectables, surgery or more invasive procedures. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of a carbon laser facial and why it is worth considering.


What is Carbon Laser Facial?


A carbon laser facial is a type of skin resurfacing treatment that uses a specific carbon lotion to improve the overall appearance of the skin. The lotion is applied to the skin and left to dry, then a laser is used to target and heat the carbon particles, which helps to remove dead skin cells, impurities, and oil. The heat generated by the laser also stimulates collagen production, which helps to tighten the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as pores.


So let’s break down the benefits of Carbon Laser Facials for you!


1. Improved Skin Texture

A carbon laser facial can help to improve the overall texture of the skin. Autumn is the ideal time to do this as the skin can often feel dull and built up after the summer sun. The treatment exfoliates the skin and removes dead skin cells, which can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars, sun damage, and other imperfections. This results in smoother, more even-toned skin.


2. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles

As we age, our skin naturally loses its collagen, which can lead to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. We want to keep those crows feet and lip lines at bay! That’s where the carbon laser facial can help! It helps to stimulate collagen production, which is proven to reduce the appearance of the signs of ageing. The treatment can also help to tighten the skin, making it look firmer and more youthful.


3. Treats Acne and Acne Scars

Carbon laser facials are an effective treatment for acne-prone skin. The laser helps to destroy the bacteria that causes acne and also helps to reduce the appearance of acne scarring. The treatment can also help to unclog pores and reduce the production of oil in the skin, which can help to prevent future breakouts. Often clients will notice after a carbon laser facial any blackheads they had previously have reduced in appearance as well.


4. Safe and Non-Invasive

A carbon laser facial is a safe and non-invasive treatment that does not require any downtime. Unlike other skin resurfacing treatments, such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion, a carbon laser facial does not damage the skin. This means that clients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment.


5. Quick and Effective

A carbon laser facial is a quick and effective treatment that can be completed in just 30-60 minutes. Our clients typically see results after just one treatment, although multiple treatments may be necessary for maximum results.


Are there any side effects of a carbon laser facial?


While carbon laser facials are generally considered safe, with no side effects, we will complete a thorough consultation prior to your treatment to ensure all safety protocols are adhered to.


It is important for clients to discuss any concerns they may have about potential side effects with their skin expert prior to the treatment. A qualified professional will be able to provide detailed information about the risks and benefits of a carbon laser facial and help them make an informed decision about whether this treatment is right for them.


How long does carbon laser results last?


The duration of the results of a carbon laser facial can vary from person to person and depends on several factors, including the individual's skin type, age, and lifestyle habits. Generally, our clients can expect to see initial improvements in their skin's texture and appearance immediately following the treatment, with continued improvements over the following weeks as collagen production increases.


The results of a carbon laser facial can last anywhere from several months to a year or more, depending on how well the client takes care of their skin. Maintaining a consistent skincare routine that includes regular cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection can help to prolong the results of the treatment..


To maintain and enhance the results of a carbon laser facial, many clients will opt to undergo regular maintenance treatments. We can help determine the appropriate frequency of these treatments based on your individual needs and goals. It is important to note that while a carbon laser facial can provide significant improvements in the appearance of the skin, it is not a permanent solution and will not stop the natural ageing process.
