Overview
The carbon laser facial is a skin perfecting and revitalising laser facial using the latest AW3 laser technology.
This treatment is ideal for removing excessive oil and sebum that builds up on the skin overtime, as well as minimising the appearance of large pores. Skin can look clearer and more luxurious from just one session.
A smooth and flawless skin appearance is achieved by gentle exfoliation of the top layers of skin, which removes unwanted pigment and damage. This can also aid in the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles and acne scarring.
What does a carbon laser facial involve?
Firstly, skin is treated to a double cleanse and toned to clear pores and clean the skin thoroughly. Next, our innovative charcoal laser cream is applied to the face and is left to dry for 10-15 minutes. This soaks up excess oil, blackheads and dead skin cells. Heat and light from the ND-YAG Q switch laser tip then vaporises the carbon along with dead skin cells and access oils, breaking down the melanin and causing blood and collagen to rush to this area to repair the skin. This method means toxins and excess skin on the face is broken down through the lymphatic system, giving the skin a clearer complexion. This is not painful for the client.
