Overview

What Is Carbon Facial?

The Carbon Facial (often called the ‘Hollywood Peel’) pairs a fine layer of medical-grade carbon with laser energy to deep-clean pores, exfoliate dead skin, and stimulate collagen, all in a single, comfortable session with zero downtime.

Who it’s for

Ideal if you’re dealing with enlarged pores, oily or congested skin, dullness, or the occasional breakout, and want a visible glow ahead of an event, with no peeling or recovery time.

The Process

How It Works

A liquid carbon solution is applied evenly across the face, where it settles into pores and binds to excess oil, debris, and dead skin cells.
A laser is passed over the treated area, the carbon absorbs the light energy and gently vaporises.
As the carbon lifts away, it takes impurities with it and mildly stimulates the deeper layers of skin to encourage fresh collagen production.

Aftercare & Timeline

What to Expect

Sessions take around 30–40 minutes with no downtime, most clients return straight to makeup and their normal routine the same day. Skin typically looks brighter and feels smoother immediately after treatment.

For the first 24 hours, keep sun exposure and heavy makeup to a minimum to let your skin settle. Continued improvement in tone and texture builds over a course of treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart.

Results

Outcomes

Most clients notice a visible glow and smoother-looking pores right after their first session. With a short course spaced 2–4 weeks apart, oiliness and breakouts settle down and skin tone becomes noticeably more even. Results build gradually with each session rather than all at once, and a maintenance treatment every 4–6 weeks keeps the effect going.

Questions

Frequently Asked

Does the Carbon Facial hurt?

No, most clients describe it as a warm, comfortable sensation. There are no needles and no downtime involved.

How many sessions will I need?

Many clients see a visible glow after a single session, though a course of 3–4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart gives the most noticeable improvement in pore size and texture.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

The Carbon Facial is generally well tolerated, but your practitioner will assess your skin during consultation to confirm it’s the right fit before booking.

Can I wear makeup straight after?

Yes, since there’s no downtime, most clients return to their normal routine, including makeup, the same day.

How soon will I see results?

Skin typically looks brighter and feels smoother immediately after your session, with tone and texture continuing to improve across your course of treatments.
