What Is Carbon Laser Peel?

Carbon laser peel is popularly known as the China Doll facial or the Hollywood peel. It is a minimally invasive, 30-minute fix for superficial skin imperfections. It is a versatile cosmetic skin treatment, usually undertaken to alleviate concerns like blemishes, oily skin, open pores, uneven skin tone/texture, photoaging, and others. The treatment harnesses the ability of activated charcoal to exfoliate skin and act as a photo-enhancer, and then the power of Q-switched Nd: YAG laser to stimulate collagen production. Both contribute to smooth, refreshing, and radiant skin.   

Why Is Carbon Laser Peel Considered Best for Skin Brightening and Anti-Aging?

Carbon laser peel treatment offers the following perks:

• Bright complexion- An instant glowing skin is achieved upon clearance of superficial skin impurities and dead skin cells.

• Tighten, clear pores- With the combined action of the laser’s heat and carbon’s attraction to skin impurities, dead skin cells, and oil, the pores appear less noticeable, and there is reduced risk of acne.

• Relief from oily skin and acne- The laser’s heat helps shrink the pores, kill acne-causing bacteria, and reduce the natural oil production. Furthermore, the carbon and laser application together help deeply exfoliate the skin. All of this makes the skin less oily and less prone to acne breakouts.    

• Even skin tone- The laser’s heat helps fragment the extra pigments in the skin, thereby fading mild dark spots.

• Uniform skin texture- The gentle action of liquid carbon and laser on the skin smooths the fine lines and wrinkles. With fresh collagen and elastin, the skin looks young in the long term. 

• Non-invasive treatment- Carbon laser peel treatment is non-invasive and so is quick, painless, and has minimal downtime.

• Suitability for various skin types- Carbon laser peel is suitable for sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin.

These are the reasons why carbon laser peel is mostly recommended for skin brightening and anti-aging.

How Does Carbon Laser Peel Work to Brighten and Rejuvenate Skin?

Here’s what to expect from the carbon laser peel treatment:

• Application of a lotion containing activated carbon

On a thoroughly cleansed skin, the dermatologist evenly spreads out a thin layer of the carbon lotion. The carbon paste on the skin is left undisturbed to dry out. This takes around 10 minutes. As the paste dries out, the carbon particles absorb impurities, skin cell debris, extra sebum, and dirt from deep within the clogged pores.

• Application of Q-switched Nd: YAG laser (at low energy setting)

Just before laser light is focused onto the skin, both the patient and practitioner wear an eye shield. The practitioner passes the laser light at a low energy setting over the dried carbon so that less heat is generated, enough for heating up carbon particles and making them bind properly to the epidermis and its contaminants. The heat from the laser even passes to subdermal tissue to stimulate fresh collagen and elastin production. It leaves the skin plumper, firmer, and smoother over time. This step is not performed for patients with sensitive skin or a melasma patch.

• Application of Q-switched Nd: YAG laser (at high energy setting)

The practitioner passes the laser light at high energy setting to generate immense heat for vaporizing the liquid carbon along with its absorbed skin contaminants. The carbon, along with its contaminants, is removed from a smoke evaporator connected to the laser device. Finally, mild skin peeling and deep cleaning of the skin happen.

• Protection of skin from dehydration and sun damage

The practitioner protects the treated skin through application of a suitable moisturiser and a sunscreen.

Multiple carbon laser peel sessions, typically in a 3- to 6-week gap, are required for optimal results. The cost of carbon laser peel treatment starts from Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 5,000 per session. This cost can vary from person to person, based on their concerns being addressed and their needs.
