What is the carbon laser facial?
The Carbon Laser Facial is one of the most advanced treatments for skin imperfections and promotes a smooth and glowing complexion. The Carbon Laser Peel Treatment at KLNIK helps reduce fine lines & wrinkles, can lighten age spots and dark spots, fade freckles, shrink pores, removes blackheads and oil flow and kills bacteria reducing signs of acne. The process is non-invasive and pain-free!
It’s incredible results and subsequent fame are derived from the use of carbon. The black substance acts as a target for laser light, which is attracted to darker colours guiding the laser to the target areas. When the carbon is applied and massaged into the face, it enters the pores. Once hit by laser light, the carbon heats up and ‘explodes,’ removing built-up dead skin and damaging the inner walls of the pore. The heat generated induces collagen growth, reducing pore size, and improving skin texture, which would otherwise not be possible without the use of carbon.

The M22 Q-switch NdYag laser
-
The carbon laser peel treatment is a laser procedure for enhancing the skin’s complexion. It helps to reduce imperfections like enlarged pores, unblocked them and tightening the skin. Great to have after Hydrafacial.
-
A carbon lotion is applied to the skin and allowed to dry over a period of 15 minutes, goggles are applied to protect the eyes and then a Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser is used to heat and cause an implosion of the carbon particles. As the carbon sits inside the pores it allows for the heat that is absorbed to reach deeper in to the skin than without the carbon. Following the treatment any excess carbon is removed from the skin and hydration products are applied.
