The Carbon Facial sometimes called the Hollywood Peel is a no-downtime laser facial that gently exfoliates the surface, refines the appearance of pores, and leaves skin looking instantly brighter and smoother. It's a popular pre-event treatment and a beautiful monthly maintenance option for clients who want noticeable polish without recovery time.
A nourishing carbon lotion is applied to the skin and absorbs into the pores. A specialised laser is then passed over the area — the carbon attracts the laser energy, lifting away dead skin cells, surface oil and pore-blocking debris while supporting collagen activity beneath. You walk out with cleaner-looking pores, refined surface texture, and a fresh, luminous glow.
What People Come In For
You want a quick, no-downtime facial that delivers a visible, immediate refresh for an event, a maintenance routine, or as part of a broader skin plan.
Common reasons clients book a Carbon Facial:
- A "Hollywood glow" before an event, wedding or holiday
- The appearance of enlarged or congested pores
- Oily or shine-prone skin
- Mild breakout-prone areas
- Dull or tired-looking complexion
- A monthly maintenance facial that's gentle yet effective
A Carbon Facial combines a topical carbon lotion with controlled laser pulses, in two steps:
- Carbon application a fine layer of nourishing carbon lotion is applied to the treatment area and allowed to settle into the pores
- Laser pulses a specialised laser is passed across the skin; the carbon particles absorb the laser energy and are vaporised along with dead surface skin cells, oil and debris. The gentle thermal effect also supports collagen activity and surface clarity
Most clients see immediate brightening and pore refinement after a single session. For cumulative results, a short course is typically recommended - your therapist will discuss what suits your skin at your appointment.
