If you’re looking for an Instagram-friendly treatment to add to your skin rejuvenation portfolio, you’d be hard pushed to find anything more striking than a Carbon Peel laser facial. This treatment has been around for some time, but has seen a resurgence in recent years, no doubt in part because the treatment itself makes for a very eye-catching reel, with the laser impressively blasting away the black carbon solution from the skin. With Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Anniston and Angelina Jolie all purported to be fans, does it really live up to the hype?
The carbon peel laser facial involves coating the face with a solution of carbon paste and then removing it with a Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser (such as the Luminette Q, Studio, or Lumina) at 1064nm. The treatment is pain-free and very low-risk, with most people only displaying some very mild redness after treatment. The treatment is suitable for most people, and whilst it won’t remove deep wrinkles, it will give the skin a collagen boost, reducing fine lines, shrinking pores and improving acne (it can also be used on backne). Most people will notice an immediate brightness and radiancy to their skin post treatment.
But it’s not just celebrities who love this treatment. A 2022 paper published in the journal Medicina found that Carbon peel laser facial ‘is an effective and safe treatment for patients with acne lesions, showing pores and wrinkles, and is able to improve the overall skin aspect.’
We recommend using the Deka Peel carbon paste. Formulated specifically for use in conjunction with Q-switched lasers, DEKA Peel is a hydrating carbon peel product that leaves skin feeling softer, smoother, giving that flawless look with minimal downtime. It contains hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and Vitamin B3 to reduce inflammation and reduce acne. The peel works in conjunction with the laser to enhance collagen production, reduce inflammation, and improve acne. The Carbon peel laser facial and DEKA Peel are safe to use on all skin types, allowing practitioners to offer the Hollywood look to all their clients!
