Carbon Laser Peel in Royston
Professional Carbon Laser Peel at Eunoia INK
The carbon laser peel (also known as the Hollywood Peel or China Doll Peel) is a non-invasive laser treatment that deeply cleanses the skin, refines texture, targets acne-causing bacteria, and leaves the complexion looking noticeably clearer and refreshed. 3 stage treatment is carried out using the Asclepion NanoStar C MT. It can be delivered as a standalone treatment or combined with pigmentation or acne scar treatment as part of a tailored package.
What the Carbon Laser Peel Can Help With
The carbon peel is particularly well suited to the following concerns:
Oily and congested skin:Â Excess sebum and surface impurities are absorbed by the carbon lotion and cleared during treatment, leaving skin feeling thoroughly cleansed.
Enlarged pores:Â Laser energy refines the appearance of pores and helps reduce congestion that contributes to their visibility.
Dull or uneven complexion:Â The exfoliating action of the treatment removes surface debris and supports a brighter, more even skin tone.
Mild acne and acne management:Â The laser energy targets acne-causing bacteria on the skin’s surface, helping to reduce active breakouts and support clearer skin over time.
Uneven texture:Â Surface refinement improves the overall feel and appearance of the skin.
Pre-event refresh:Â Because there’s no downtime, the carbon peel is a popular choice before a wedding, photoshoot, or any occasion where you want your skin looking its best. Results are visible immediately after a single session.
How the Carbon Laser Peel Works
The treatment follows a precise three-step clinical protocol developed by Asclepion's directors of education. Not a generic approach, but a structured procedure designed to get the most from each stage of the treatment.
Step 2: Carbon Application and Removal Medical-grade carbon lotion is applied evenly across the treatment area and left to absorb into the open pores, bonding with excess sebum, surface impurities, and dead skin cells. The laser is then switched to Q-Switched (QS) mode where the energy is absorbed by the carbon particles, causing them to vaporise and taking the absorbed debris with them. The skin is then cleaned to remove any remaining carbon residue.
Step 3: Pore Closure and Finishing The laser returns to Photo Thermal (PT) mode to close the pores and complete the treatment. A copper-based cream with SPF is applied to soothe, protect, and support the skin immediately after treatment.
The result is skin that feels thoroughly cleansed, looks noticeably clearer, and has a more refined texture. Achieved through a structured clinical process rather than a single pass with a laser.
What to Expect
Treatment Options and Packages
Is the Carbon Laser Peel Suitable for You?
The carbon laser peel is suitable for most skin types and is particularly well suited to oily, congested, or dull skin. It is not suitable for everyone, active or severely inflamed acne, compromised skin, certain medications, photosensitivity, or recent aesthetic treatments may require postponement or an alternative approach.
Treatment is not suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection, are taking photosensitising medication, or have used isotretinoin within the last six months.
Suitability is always confirmed at consultation before treatment proceeds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any downtime after a carbon laser peel?
No, this is one of the key advantages of the treatment. Most clients return to normal activity immediately. Some mild, temporary redness may occur but typically settles within a short period.
How many sessions do I need?
One session produces noticeable results, making it ideal as a one-off refresh before an event. For ongoing skin concerns such as oily skin, congestion, or mild acne, a course of treatments delivers progressively better results. This is discussed at consultation based on your skin and your goals.
Can I have a carbon peel before a wedding or photoshoot?
Yes, and it’s a popular choice for exactly this reason. There’s no downtime, results are visible immediately, and the skin looks refreshed and refined. Timing is worth discussing at consultation to make sure it fits your schedule comfortably.
Does it help with acne?
Yes. The laser energy targets acne-causing bacteria on the skin’s surface, which helps reduce active breakouts. For clients with both active congestion and existing acne scarring, combining the carbon peel with acne scar treatment in a single session addresses both concerns simultaneously.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. The carbon peel can be combined with pigmentation treatment or acne scar treatment as part of a tailored package. Combined options are discussed and confirmed at consultation.
Is the treatment painful?
Most clients find it comfortable. Some mild warmth or a light tingling sensation during treatment is normal. There is no significant discomfort for the majority of people.
