Carbon Laser Peel for Acne Treatment: Target Areas and Specific Concerns

Dealing with acne can be frustrating, especially when it persists despite your best efforts. The carbon laser peel offers a non-invasive option that targets acne-related concerns, helping to manage breakouts, improve skin quality, and restore your confidence.

Specific Acne Concerns Addressed by Carbon Laser Peel

Carbon laser peels are commonly used to address various types of acne and related skin concerns, including:

Blackheads
Whiteheads
Cystic acne
Oily skin
Enlarged pores

Carbon laser peels penetrate deep into the skin to reduce sebum production and exfoliate dead skin cells. As a result, it may help unclog blocked or congested pores, reduce inflammation, and promote a clearer, smoother complexion.

Common Target Areas for Carbon Laser Peel Treatment

Carbon laser peels can be applied to various areas of the body, each of which may benefit in different ways:

Face

Can help reduce blackheads, whiteheads, and cystic acne, potentially improving skin texture and clarity.

Neck

 May address acne and skin congestion, promoting a smoother appearance.

Back

This skin treatment can assist with managing back acne, which may be difficult to treat with topical solutions alone.

Chest

 Can be used to address acne breakouts and skin texture, supporting a more even skin tone.

Carbon laser peels target various acne-related issues, potentially leading to clearer and healthier skin. Whether you have facial acne or breakouts on your back and chest, this treatment may help improve your skin’s appearance and achieve your desired results.

How often should the treatment be done?

We typically recommend carbon laser peel treatments every 2-4 weeks for optimal results. Many patients notice improvements after 5-10 sessions, although individual results may vary depending on specific skin concerns and goals.

Treatment Procedure

Here’s a detailed look at the treatment process:

  1. Cleansing: The procedure starts with thoroughly cleansing the skin, removing impurities and preparing it for treatment.
  2. Carbon Lotion Application: A layer of carbon lotion is applied to the skin. This lotion penetrates deep into the pores, acting as a photo-enhancer.
  3. Laser Activation: The laser is passed over the skin, targeting the carbon particles. The laser energy breaks down the carbon, removes dead skin cells, oil, and impurities, and exfoliates the skin.

Cooling and Hydration: After the laser treatment, the skin may feel slightly warm or sensitive. To soothe and restore balance, a hydrating mask is applied. These products help reduce any redness or irritation while locking in moisture to promote healing and enhance the skin’s appearance.

How long is the treatment duration?

The treatment session typically lasts about 15 minutes, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.

Can carbon laser peel be combined with other acne treatments?

The carbon laser peel can be combined with other acne treatments for enhanced results. Our acne clear care program typically combines hydrafacial with carbon laser peel and gold toning or IPL for best results. Our doctor will recommend the best combination of treatments during your consultation based on your specific skin needs and goals.

Results and Post-Treatment Care

To achieve the best possible results and ensure a smooth recovery, follow these aftercare instructions:

  • Hydration: Keep your skin well-hydrated to support healing and maintain a healthy glow.
  • Sun Protection: Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from direct sunlight and avoid excessive sun exposure.

Gentle Skincare: Apply non-irritating, gentle skincare products immediately post laser

 

Expected Side Effects

It is important to be aware of the potential side effects following a carbon laser peel. While generally mild, they are a natural part of the healing process:

Redness and Mild Sensitivity
Slight redness and sensitivity are common immediately after treatment but usually subside within a few hours.

By adhering to these aftercare instructions, you can support your skin’s recovery and maximise the benefits of the carbon laser peel. While individual results may vary, many patients notice clearer skin, fewer breakouts, and smaller pores within a few weeks. Completing the recommended series of sessions typically yields the best possible results.
