Carbon Facial

Making a visible difference on all skin types after just one treatment, a carbon facial is perfect for any big event and in addition can provide long term effects to leave you with a lasting transformation.
Most commonly, a it is popular for treating ageing skin and oily skin types, creating a plumped, more even skin tone and texture to leave your skin with a youthful glow. It is also a popular choice for those who are unhappy with congested pores, dull uneven skin, or acne on the face or any area of the body, leaving them with a new level of confidence and embracing their natural beauty.

Treatment can provide several months of effective results but will vary between individuals. With just one treatment of Hollywood peeling, you should notice immediate results, but you may require maintenance or follow-up appointments to ensure this is long-lasting. We recommend a course of 6 treatments for the best results.

Our carbon facial treatment is generally a painless experience, but you may feel minor discomfort during the process. This means you can enjoy this treatment regularly due to its gentle application without causing major skin irritation. You’ll feel a warming effect on the skin but no pain in the treated area. After the treatment, your skin may appear redder and feel tight, but this will subside within a few hours and can be assisted with moisturiser or aloe vera.

The Carbon Facial is extremely safe, you can resume your daily routine immediately after the treatment. Side effects are minimal, you may experience some slight redness and tingling although this will clear up within a few hours and can be soothed with some aloe vera gel.

You may experience temporary hair removal in the targeted area of your skin as an effect of the Spectra XT laser. During your consultation, we will advise the expected results for the area you want to target, so if you have facial hair, we will advise how this may be affected. If you are wanting to seek hair removal treatment, a more effective procedure would be our laser hair removal.

It’s recommended to avoid any products that contain retinol for at least a few days. This is because retinol may irritate the skin further. Instead, moisturise daily using SPF protection as this will help to avoid over-exposure to sunlight and also soothe the skin. As you may experience some flaking or drying of the skin, moisturising regularly will help to alleviate this as well as skin tightness.

As there is no downtime required after carbon facial, you can apply mineral makeup 2 hours after treatment if you wish. However, if you can avoid wearing makeup for the first few days whilst your skin is still red, this will provide the best results. It’s best to use an SPF moisturiser underneath and avoid any harsh chemicals contained in some makeup that can irritate your skin further.
