CARBON LASER FACIAL

The carbon laser facial, sometimes referred to as a "Hollywood facial," is a non-invasive treatment that combines a specialised carbon lotion with laser energy to deeply cleanse the skin, refine pores, and improve overall skin tone and texture. It's a popular option for patients wanting a quick, low-downtime treatment that leaves the skin visibly brighter and smoother.

At LIFE X CLINICS, carbon laser facials are performed using our in-clinic Q-Switch laser, with treatments tailored to your skin type and concerns.

How it works:

A thin layer of carbon lotion is applied to the skin, where it penetrates into the pores. A laser is then passed over the skin, targeting the carbon particles. As the laser interacts with the carbon, it gently exfoliates the surface layer of skin, vaporises the carbon along with trapped debris, oil, and dead skin cells, and delivers mild heat energy into the deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen production and improving overall skin quality.

What carbon laser facials can help with:

• Refining the appearance of enlarged pores
• Reducing oiliness and improving skin clarity
• Improving mild acne and congestion
• Evening out skin tone and reducing dullness
• Softening the appearance of fine lines over a course of treatments
• Providing an immediate glow with no downtime

What to expect:

Treatment typically takes around 30 minutes and involves no discomfort beyond a mild warming or tingling sensation. There is little to no downtime, with most patients able to return to normal activities immediately, making it a popular option before events or as part of a regular skin maintenance routine.

While a single treatment can provide an immediate brightening effect, a course of sessions is often recommended for cumulative improvements in pore appearance, skin texture, and tone.

A personalised approach:

Every patient's skin type and concerns are different, which is why carbon laser facials at LIFE X CLINICS are tailored to your individual skin, with treatment settings adjusted accordingly. Our Dermal Clinician Renee, will assess your skin during consultation and recommend an appropriate treatment frequency to suit your goals.
