Carbon Laser Facial
Here’s the thing: if your complexion feels dull, congested, or just…meh, the Carbon Laser Facial is like pressing refresh on your skin in less than an hour. We apply a feather-light layer of liquid carbon that clings to oil, dead cells, and gunk hiding in your pores. Then a Q-switched laser sweeps across your face, vaporizing the carbon—and everything it’s bonded to—while its heat jump-starts fresh collagen beneath the surface. Think of it as a deep cleanse and a gentle resurfacing session rolled into one. There’s no downtime, just an immediate, camera-ready glow.

Before Your Appointment: How to Prepare
- Arrive Bare-Faced: Skip makeup, lotions, and SPF on treatment day so the carbon adheres evenly.
- Pause Actives: Discontinue retinoids and exfoliating acids 48 hours prior to avoid extra sensitivity.
- Sun Savvy: No tanning (beds or beaches) for two weeks beforehand; fresh sunburn and lasers don’t mix.
- Share Your Story: Let us know about recent peels, isotretinoin use, or photosensitizing meds so we can tailor settings safely.
Aftercare and What to Expect
- Mild Pinkness: A warm, tingling flush is normal and fades within hours.
- Cool & Soothe: A chilled sheet mask or aloe-based gel feels amazing—skip heavy occlusives the first night.
- Gentle Routine: For 48 hours use a fragrance-free cleanser and basic moisturizer; hold off on scrubs or active serums.
- SPF on Repeat: Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is non-negotiable while your new skin settles in.
- Glow Momentum: Results build with each session; most clients book every 2–4 weeks for a long-term collagen boost.
