What is a Carbon Facial?

A Carbon Facial is a non-invasive, laser skin rejuvenation treatment that uses a layer of liquid carbon applied to the skin, followed by a Q-switched laser. The laser energy is attracted to the carbon particles, which absorb oil, dead skin, and contaminants. When the laser blasts the carbon away, it also removes those impurities — exfoliating, deep-cleaning, and stimulating collagen in the process.

  • Not recommended if:

    • You're pregnant or breastfeeding.

2. Cleansing

  • The skin is thoroughly cleansed of makeup, oil, and debris.

4. Laser Treatment

  • A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is used over the skin.
