What is a Carbon Laser Facial?

This facial aims to give you clear, porcelain-like skin by targeting a number of blemishes that could be impacting your skin. These conditions may include:Skin redness, acne and acne scarring, blackheads and open pores, skin oiliness, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation issues and uneven tones. This treatment also encourages the reproduction of collagen.

​

How does this treatment work?

It works by using  a combination of the tattoo laser machine and carbon cream applied to the client. The carbon serum bonds with impurities inside the patients’ pores, and as the laser passes over the patients’ skin it causes a reaction that passes the energy deep into the pores that helps stimulate the production of collagen while removing impurities deep within, such as dirt, oil and dead skin cells. It is very important to keep you skin protected and free from sun damage before your treatment.

​

Who is it for?

Carbon Laser Faicals can be done on all skin types and both men and women. The number of treatments required for the best results depends on the quality of your skin as well as your individual concerns. We will advise you accordingly during your free skin consultation.
