How Does Carbon Laser Treatment Work?

You can easily restore clarity, freshness, and youth to your skin with carbon laser treatment. For carbon peeling, a thin layer of liquid carbon (medical carbon or activated carbon) is applied to your skin by a dermatologist. This carbon layer penetrates deep into the pores of the skin and after a short period of time, the laser is performed.

Laser light is strongly absorbed by carbon particles, and when the laser beam is passed over the carbonized area, it destroys the carbon and along with it destroys dead skin cells, waste materials, and skin fat, without causing any pain.

What Are the Benefits of Carbon Laser Treatment?

Carbon laser peeling does the following four main tasks:

1- Cleaning:

Carbon can absorb fat and waste products deep in the pores of the skin, and then the laser destroys the carbon particles and the skin is thoroughly cleansed.

2- Exfoliation:

By targeting carbon by laser, dead skin cells and blackheads are removed from the surface of the skin, and exfoliation is performed. With carbon laser treatment the skin becomes clearer and its pores are closed.

3- Removing Acne & Reducing Sebum:

The heat generated by carbon peeling destroys acne-causing bacteria and causes sebaceous glands to accumulate. As a result, carbon laser treatment reduces the oil production in the skin.

4- Rejuvenation:

In carbon laser peeling, the deep layers of the skin are also targeted and collagen production is stimulated.
