A carbon facial, also known as a carbon laser peel or charcoal facial, is a non-invasive skincare treatment that involves applying a layer of liquid carbon to the skin, which is then treated with a laser. This procedure is designed to improve skin tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and minimize the appearance of pores.
During the carbon facial, liquid carbon is applied to the skin, penetrating deep into the pores. The carbon particles absorb oil, dirt, and impurities. A laser is then used to heat and destroy the carbon particles along with the absorbed debris, leaving the skin clean, smooth, and rejuvenated.
Carbon facials offer numerous benefits, including improved skin tone and texture, reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimized pore size, enhanced skin clarity, reduction of acne and acne scars, and stimulated collagen production for firmer, more youthful skin.
