Carbon laser facials

What is a carbon laser facial?

A CARBON laser facial is a non-invasive procedure sometimes called the charcoal facial or charcoal peel.

It involves applying a layer of liquid carbon over the face, which penetrates deep into the pores. A laser beam is used to blast the carbon away, with the light highly attracted to carbon particles. The carbon absorbs impurities, and when the laser destroys the carbon it gets rid of these too, leaving the skin deeply cleansed and smoother. The laser peel also removes dead skin cells, blackheads and oil.

The process is exfoliating, reduces pore size, evens out skin tone as well as making the skin softer and appear more radiant.

This facial is particularly beneficial for people with oily skin, as it is may help to reduce acne-causing bacteria and shrinks sebaceous, or oil, glands.

What are the benefits of the charcoal peel rejuvenation?

The carbon peel laser may help lighten age spots and dark spots, fade freckles, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, shrink pores, and remove blackheads and acne.

It can also lift and tighten the skin, improve elasticity, moisturise and give a bright and radiant complexion.

As the laser penetrates the deep layers of the skin, it stimulates collagen production, resulting in firmer, more youthful looking skin.

The Carbon Laser Peel may help to:

  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
  • Tighten dilated pores
  • Reduce acne, scars and post acne discoloration
  • Remove dead skin cells from the superficial epidermal layer
  • Stimulate collagen growth
  • Improve skin texture
  • Clear pores to help reduce blackheads and whiteheads

Which celebrities use them?

A-listers Kim Kardashian, who is also a fan of the vampire facial, is said to get a carbon laser facial. And Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston, both exes of Brad Pitt, are reported to have them done.

    "I cannot praise Monica highly enough. She understood my skin concerns and has worked through them in a gentle and professional manner. Monica puts the needs of the customer first, ensuring that the treatment is the right one for the person concerned, rather than being motivated by money like some practitioners I have seen in the past. Whilst my skin is still healing, I can already see great improvements and am looking forward to the final result. After trying numerous products and treatments in the past, without success, I wish I\'d visited the Skin and Beauty Clinic sooner. I would not hesitate to recommend!" 30/07/21

    "After my first laser carbon peel think that my skin is definitely smoother and very soft and not sure whether my imagination or not but less fine wrinkles! Tonight it still feels really well hydrated. Thank you so so much....I feel like I have had a proper treat!" and "24 hrs later I think my skin was definitely looking nicer. The skin over the bridge of my nose was very dry ( it usually is ) but way smoother than normal so definitely made a difference!" 29/02/20

    “Most certainly recommended Monica’s services. I've been getting laser treatment for the redness in my skin on my face from Monica. Amazing results and such a lovely lady doing it. Very thankful and happy with the treatment received!” 28/05/19

    “Monica was highly recommended to me by a former GP who had used her services. Since then I have had three separate treatments and I am so happy with the results. I found Monica to be extremely professiona, meticulous in her work and the results delivered exceeded my expectations. I would, without question, recommend Monica to others and have done so already”. 21/02/19

  • Pauline

    "I saw Monica, a lovely lady, for removal of brown spots, skin tags and moles from my face. Felt at ease and confident that she cared and not just trying to get more money. She charged accordingly, treatment wasn’t too painful with very good follow up and no scarring. I am very happy with the outcome and wish I’d had the courage to do it sooner. Wouldn’t hesitate to see her again if I need further treatment". - 29 Dec 2018

    “Monica was recommended for removal of small milia and she didn’t disappoint, very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Would definitely recommend and use again. Procedure was painless and there is no scarring at all. Great follow up too.” - 19 Dec 2018

  • Joan C

    After years of receiving a variety of treatments for the warts on my hands, most of which were both costly and painful, Monica has finally come to the rescue.  After the treatment that Monica has provided the warts are disappearing. Whilst not without some pain, the treatment has felt far less invasive and that it was administered in a caring and empathetic way.  I can’t thank Monica enough. After feeling resigned to putting up with them, the warts are mostly gone. If anyone is experiencing similar issues I would recommend Monica.  She provides an effective and more affordable treatment which is provided in a caring and reassuring way. Thank you Monica. - 29/01/18

  • Laura W

    My skin is perfect and results are great as always from all types of hair removal I have had.  You are fantastic at what you do I love coming to see you, you are so professional but a really lovely person and a friend to me. - 04/12/17
