What Is Carbon Peel Treatment and How Does It Work?

Carbon peel treatment, which in clinical or cosmetic settings has multiple referring names- carbon laser facial, Hollywood facial, or China doll facial.It is a versatile, laser skin resurfacing treatment. It combines the power of activated carbon or charcoal with advanced Q-switched Nd: YAG laser technology to make the skin clearer, smoother, and brighter.

The two-stage working of carbon peeling goes as follows:

1. First stage (Carbon application): An activated carbon paste is applied to the targeted area and absorbed by the skin. As it dries, it binds to skin cell debris, excess sebum (natural skin oil), and impurities in the pores.
2. Second stage (Laser treatment): The dried carbon layer is treated twice with a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser. In the first, long-pass filter of around 1060 nm, the light is absorbed by carbon to help it penetrate deeper into the skin and act optimally. After gentle laser heating, the use of high-energy, short 1064 nm pulses causes thermal shattering of the carbon and its bonds with others, vaporizes particles, and induces deep exfoliation of the skin alongside controlled heating of the dermal layers, which encourages new collagen and elastin production.

Overall, carbon peel treatment exfoliates the skin, regulates oil production, and boosts collagen production, thereby addressing multiple skin concerns such as oiliness and acne, uneven tone, enlarged pores, and poor skin texture.

Carbon Peel Treatment in Gurgaon Procedure – Step-by-Step

1. Initial consultation-This step is imperative, as it helps the practitioner assess the patient’s suitability for the treatment and, if confirmed, creates the best-suited treatment plan. A thorough skin assessment is conducted to know the patient’s skin type and concerns. This is followed by a discussion of the patient’s concerns, records, and goals/expectations. Accordingly, the procedure is planned.
2. Pre-treatment- In the days leading to the scheduled first session, the patient is recommended to keep the targeted area sun-safe, get existing prescriptions and supplements used reviewed by the practitioner, manage cold sores (if there are), stop use of retinoids and physical/chemical exfoliants, avoid harsh skin treatments, and maintain a proper skincare routine and healthy lifestyle.
3. Start of session with prepping of targeted area- The patient’s targeted skin is thoroughly cleansed with a cleanser best suited to the patient’s skin type.
4. Application of carbon paste/solution- On the clean skin, a thin layer of medical-grade carbon paste is applied and left undisturbed.
5. Laser treatment- After the carbon layer dries completely, a Q-switched Nd: YAG laser is used twice at different wavelengths for different durations.
6. End of the session - The treatment concludes with a gentle cleansing and skin protection, with the application of suitable sunscreen and moisturiser. Overall, the session takes less than an hour.

Post-Treatment Care, Results, and Possible Side Effects

Just after a session of carbon peel treatment, the skin appears brighter, smoother, balanced, and clear, and after a series of treatments, the skin appears healthy and vibrant. Desired skin improvements are usually seen after 3 to 6 sessions, scheduled at 2- to 4-week intervals.
