Carbon peel may help improve the appearance of congested pores and leave the skin feeling cleaner and smoother.
A clinician-guided carbon laser peel for skin rejuvenation, designed to gently exfoliate and refresh the skin while addressing concerns such as oiliness, congestion, dullness, tanning and uneven-looking texture. At K Aesthetics, the treatment is selected according to your skin condition and goals.
A carbon peel, also known as a carbon laser peel or “Hollywood facial”, is a laser-based skin rejuvenation treatment. A thin layer of carbon-based preparation is applied to the skin before laser energy is used to target and remove the carbon along with surface impurities and dead skin cells.
K Aesthetics' existing information describes carbon peel as a fast, painless method to improve skin texture and notes that it can be particularly useful for people dealing with oily or acne-prone skin, tanning and pigmentation concerns.
Carbon peel may help improve the appearance of congested pores and leave the skin feeling cleaner and smoother.
It may be considered for oily or acne-prone skin where excess oil and surface congestion are part of the concern.

Surface exfoliation can help improve the feel and appearance of rough or uneven-looking skin texture.
Carbon peel is among the skin treatments discussed for tanning and pigmentation-related concerns, subject to clinical assessment.
Compared with more intensive resurfacing procedures, carbon peel is generally positioned as a lighter treatment with limited recovery for suitable patients.
The treatment protocol is adjusted according to your skin type and concerns. Your clinician will explain the preparation, laser technique and aftercare before proceeding.
Your skin type, concerns, medical history, current skincare and treatment goals are reviewed before a protocol is recommended.
The skin is cleansed and prepared before the carbon-based preparation is applied to the treatment area.
A thin layer of carbon preparation is applied over the skin and allowed to sit according to the selected treatment protocol.
Laser energy is used over the treated area to interact with the carbon and support exfoliation and skin renewal. Aftercare is then discussed.
Carbon peel may be considered when the goal is to improve the appearance of congested or enlarged-looking pores.
The treatment is commonly considered for oily or acne-prone skin with surface congestion.
Carbon peel may form part of a dermatologist-guided plan for suitable acne-prone skin, depending on the type and activity of acne.
A consultation can help determine whether carbon peel is appropriate when the complexion appears dull or uneven.
Carbon laser treatments may be discussed for selected tanning and pigmentation concerns after assessment of skin type and cause.
Surface exfoliation can support a smoother-feeling, more refreshed appearance in appropriately selected patients.
At K Aesthetics, the aim is to understand your skin concern before recommending a treatment. A dermatologist can assess whether carbon peel is appropriate or whether another option may offer a better fit for your pigmentation, acne, pores, texture or ageing concerns.
The clinic's published information describes carbon peel as a fast, painless skin-rejuvenation option and distinguishes it from more intensive fractional CO2 laser resurfacing. The exact technique and suitability depend on the patient.
