A carbon laser peel, sometimes called a Hollywood peel, spreads a thin layer of liquid carbon over the face and then passes a Q-switched laser over it. The laser vaporises the carbon, taking surface debris and oil with it and gently heating the skin.
It is a quick, painless treatment for oily, congested skin and gives a bright, smooth finish for a week or two. It is a maintenance treatment, not a resurfacing one.
What Carbon Laser Peel involves
Carbon lotion is applied and left to dry so it settles into the pores. A first laser pass warms the skin; a second, at a different setting, shatters the carbon particles with a snapping sound. The residue is wiped away and sunscreen applied.
Who is a good candidate for Carbon Laser Peel?
It suits most skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin.
- Oily skin, enlarged pores and blackheads
- Dull skin before an event
- Mild active acne, as an addition to medical treatment
- Wants no downtime
It is usually not the right choice if:
- Active cold sores, eczema or sunburn in the area
- Pregnancy, as a precaution
- Light-sensitising medication or recent isotretinoin
- Expecting improvement in scars, wrinkles or deep pigmentation
الخيارات التقنية
- Q-switched Nd:YAG laser: the standard device
- Picosecond lasers: a newer alternative with shorter pulses
- As a course: four to six sessions for oil control
- With other treatments: commonly paired with a HydraFacial or LED light
ماذا يحدث خلال علاجك
It takes 20 to 30 minutes and feels like light warmth with a prickling sensation. No numbing is needed.
الإعداد لرحلتك
It fits any visit. For lasting oil control a course of four to six sessions two to four weeks apart is needed, so a single session is best seen as a one-off refresh.
- Tell the doctor about medication, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any history of cold sores, keloid scars or autoimmune disease
- Avoid alcohol, aspirin and anti-inflammatory painkillers for a few days beforehand if your own doctor agrees, to reduce bruising
- Arrive without make-up on the treatment area and avoid sunbeds and strong sun for two weeks before

الأسئلة المتكررة
Does it help acne?
It reduces oil and surface bacteria and can calm mild acne, but it does not replace prescription treatment for moderate or severe acne.
Is it the same as a chemical peel?
No. Nothing is peeled. The name refers to the polished look afterwards.
Is it safe for dark skin?
Generally, at conservative settings, because the Nd:YAG wavelength is the safest for darker skin. Ask about the operator's experience with your skin tone.
