What Is a Carbon Laser Facial?
The Carbon Laser Facial—also known as the Hollywood Peel—is a gentle yet powerful laser treatment designed to deep-clean pores, refine texture, reduce oiliness, and instantly brighten the complexion.
A layer of medical-grade carbon lotion is applied to the skin, which absorbs impurities. The laser then vaporises the carbon, removing dead skin cells, debris, and excess oil while stimulating collagen production.
This treatment is loved by celebrities for its ability to deliver an immediate, red-carpet-ready glow with no downtime.
How the Treatment Works
Carbon Application
A thin layer of liquid carbon is applied and allowed to dry. Carbon particles naturally cling to oil, dirt, and dead skin cells.
Laser Activation
The laser is passed over the skin, heating and shattering the carbon. This process lifts away impurities and gently resurfaces the skin.
Exfoliation & Rejuvenation
As the carbon is vaporised, it removes trapped debris and stimulates collagen and elastin production.
