Follow The Rules
The Laser Carbon Facial, often referred to as the Hollywood Peel, is a non-invasive laser treatment that delivers an instant glow while deeply cleansing and revitalising the skin. A fine layer of medical-grade carbon is applied to the face and then gently heated and vaporised using a laser.
This process removes dead skin cells, excess oil, and surface impurities, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion. At the same time, it stimulates collagen and elastin production within the deeper layers of the skin — improving texture, firmness, and overall radiance without any downtime.
This advanced laser peel provides multiple visible benefits for all skin types, including:
Immediate improvement in skin brightness and clarity
Reduction in blackheads, oiliness, and acne breakouts
Smoother texture and refined pores
More even skin tone and reduced pigmentation
Boosted collagen and elastin for firmer, youthful-looking skin
Fresher, healthier complexion with every session
It’s particularly effective for clients struggling with dullness, mild acne, enlarged pores, or early signs of ageing.
During the treatment, a thin layer of carbon cream is applied to the skin and allowed to dry. The carbon acts like a magnet, binding to impurities, oil, and dead cells.
When the laser passes over the skin, its light energy is absorbed by the carbon particles. These are quickly vaporised — taking with them everything they’ve bonded to — while delivering gentle heat into the deeper dermal layers.
This heat energy triggers the body’s natural collagen-building process, tightens pores, and promotes cell renewal, leaving the skin clean, refreshed, and rejuvenated.
Most clients find the procedure completely comfortable.
You may feel a light warmth or a soft snapping sensation as the laser pulses over the skin, but it is not painful. There’s no need for anaesthetic or numbing cream, and you can return to normal activities immediately after your session.
To ensure the best possible results, please follow these simple guidelines before your appointment:
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 5–7 days beforehand.
Discontinue retinoids, exfoliating acids, or harsh skincare for 3–5 days before treatment.
Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.
Inform your technician of any active acne, open lesions, or history of cold sores.
Refrain from any injectable or resurfacing procedures (such as chemical peels or microneedling) in the two weeks prior.
Your skin will be gently cleansed to remove surface oils and impurities.
A thin, even layer of carbon lotion will be applied and allowed to dry.
Protective eyewear will be placed over your eyes.
The laser will then be passed over the treated area. You’ll hear light snapping sounds as the carbon particles are vaporised.
A soothing serum and sunscreen are applied to calm and protect your skin after the procedure.
The session takes around 30–40 minutes, and your skin will look noticeably smoother and more radiant immediately after.
Post-treatment care is simple but important to maintain your glow and avoid irritation:
Avoid sun exposure, saunas, and heavy exercise for 24–48 hours.
Use a gentle cleanser and light, hydrating moisturiser.
Avoid exfoliating products, acids, or retinol for 3–5 days.
Always wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily.
Mild redness or warmth may occur but will subside within a few hours.
You’ll see visible improvement after just one session — brighter tone, smoother skin, and a refreshed texture.
For more advanced skin concerns such as uneven tone, acne, or enlarged pores, a series of 4–6 sessions spaced 2–3 weeks apart produces the best results.
Regular maintenance sessions help keep the skin clear, youthful, and luminous.
Results from a single treatment can last several weeks, depending on your skincare routine and lifestyle.
When performed regularly — every 3–4 weeks — results become cumulative, helping to maintain long-term skin clarity and firmness.
The Laser Carbon Facial is a low-risk treatment suitable for most skin types.
Temporary side effects may include:
Mild redness or warmth immediately after treatment
Slight dryness or flakiness over the following day or two
These effects are short-lived and resolve naturally.
