What are Carbon Facials?
A Carbon Facial, often referred to as a Carbon Laser Peel, is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that improves tone, texture, and overall clarity. The procedure begins with the application of a thin layer of liquid carbon, which penetrates deep into the pores and binds to oil, debris, and impurities.
A specialist laser is then passed over the skin to gently heat and remove the carbon particles. This process exfoliates the surface, clears congestion, and stimulates collagen production. Carbon facials are commonly used to reduce acne, fine lines, enlarged pores, pigmentation concerns, and sun damage — leaving the skin smoother and more radiant. You can view examples of client outcomes in our results gallery.
How Do Carbon facials work?
The treatment works by combining deep cleansing with controlled laser energy. As the carbon absorbs excess oil and impurities, the laser targets the carbon particles, removing dead skin cells and encouraging natural skin renewal.
This dual-action process helps refine pores, regulate oil production, improve skin texture, and promote a more even complexion. Treatments are relatively quick, comfortable, and require little to no downtime, making them ideal for those seeking visible improvement without disruption to daily life.

Frequently asked questions:
Carbon facials are generally suitable for most skin types, particularly those with oily, congested, or acne-prone skin. The treatment can also benefit individuals experiencing dullness, uneven texture, or enlarged pores. However, suitability depends on your skin condition and medical history. A consultation is recommended to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.
Most clients describe the treatment as comfortable, with only a mild warming sensation during the laser stage. There may be slight tingling as the carbon is removed, but the procedure is not considered painful. The treatment is non-invasive and does not require anaesthetic. Any temporary redness typically subsides within a few hours.
Some clients notice an improvement after a single session, particularly in skin brightness and smoothness. However, for concerns such as acne, pigmentation, or fine lines, a course of treatments may be recommended. The number of sessions will depend on your skin condition and desired results. This will be discussed during your consultation.
One of the advantages of a Carbon Facial is minimal downtime. Most clients can return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Mild redness may occur but usually settles quickly. You will be advised on appropriate aftercare, including sun protection.
Results vary depending on skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Many clients enjoy improved skin clarity and texture for several weeks following treatment. Maintaining results may require periodic sessions as advised. A consistent skincare routine will help prolong the benefits.
