Carbon Peeling
Carbon Peeling is a non-invasive, completely painless laser-based skin treatment that quickly and efficiently treats a wide variety of skin imperfections, with no side effects or patient discomfort, and with immediate results.
Using a unique liquid carbon formula applied to the face, together with the powerful and versatile Q-Switched laser, the treatment exfoliates the skin, unclogs and reduces pores, reduces oil production, and smoothes rough and uneven skin textures.
With a unique two-step approach, the procedure maximizes the efficiency of carbon peeling with two distinct modes of laser application, while a special applicator allows the healthcare professional to treat the area from a distance to improve the visualization of the procedure and make it faster and cleaner.
Treatment is suitable for all skin types and is particularly for patients with oily skin, blackheads, enlarged pores, dry skin, rough/uneven skin texture, and acne.
The skin specialist, Luci Fachinelli explains: "Carbon Peeling is one of the most effective methods for lightening and rejuvenating the skin I use in my clinic. Combining laser technology with medical carbon achieves superior skin cleansing and visibly improves the skin's general tone. The fast treatment time and immediate results make this procedure practical, highly efficient, and recommended for the lunch break".
BENEFITS OF CARBON PEELING TREATMENT
> Cleaning:
Carbon can absorb oil deep in the pores. When applied over the treatment area, it hits and destroys the carbon particles, taking all the absorbed material with it.
> Exfoliating:
As carbon is targeted, it explodes dead skin cells, blackheads and effectively exfoliates the skin. The result is smoother, more radiant skin with reduced pores and a more even skin tone.
> Rejuvenating:
Carbon peels also target the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, which in turn produces firmer skin and reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and leaves the skin feeling firmer and glowing.
> Destruction of acne and oil:
The heat produced by carbon peeling has 2 additional benefits. It reduces the bacteria responsible for acne, allowing for a reduction in pimples, and also shrinks the sebaceous glands (oil-producing glands), resulting in less oil production and therefore reducing pore congestion. Treatments can be performed on any part of the body, including the back and chest.
As with all skin treatments, carbon peels should be complemented by a good skincare routine and daily use of a high-spectrum sunscreen. Noticeable results can be obtained after a single treatment, but for maximum long-term results, we recommend regular treatments.
How Does the Procedure Works
During the first stage, a carbon lotion is applied to the skin. Then a 1060nm wavelength laser reaches the dermis, creating controlled thermal damage to stimulate the healing process.
This causes collagen, elastin, and fibroblast production and remodeling to rejuvenate the skin and target fine lines and wrinkles. The heat created also induces remodeling and contraction of the pores, making it an ideal treatment for those with enlarged pores.
When targeted at acne, this high-energy treatment goes straight to the acne’s membrane and destroys it, reducing acne and its related inflammation.
The second part of the treatment comprises the removal of the carbon lotion, with the short pulse Q-switched laser. This laser breaks up the carbon into fine particles and then absorbs them, by destroying the carbon and removing the dead skin cells, oils, and impurities that were bound to it.
The skin also receives a deep exfoliation during this second stage, making it 4 times stronger than any other peel on the market, and leaving the skin considerably brighter, and smoother in tone and texture.
The entire treatment takes approximately 30 minutes, and the effects are noticeable straight away. You’ll see an instant brightening of your skin, which will also feel smoother and softer than ever before!
