Laser Carbon Peel in Wellingborough

A gentle laser treatment designed to refresh, cleanse and improve the appearance of dull, congested or uneven-looking skin.

Laser Carbon Peel, also known as a Hollywood Peel, combines a specialised carbon lotion with laser technology to exfoliate the skin and help remove surface impurities and excess oil.

It can be a great option when your skin looks dull, congested, oily or tired and you want a fresher, smoother and more radiant-looking complexion.

Every treatment is tailored around your skin condition, concerns and individual needs.

What Is a Laser Carbon Peel?

What Can a Carbon Peel Help With?

A Laser Carbon Peel is a non-invasive skin treatment that combines a carbon-based lotion with laser technology.

The carbon is applied to the skin before the laser is used over the treatment area. The carbon interacts with the laser energy, helping to lift away surface impurities, excess oil and dead skin cells.

The treatment can leave the skin looking cleaner, smoother and more refreshed.

It is often chosen by clients looking for a quick skin refresh with minimal disruption to their normal routine.

A Laser Carbon Peel may be considered for skin concerns such as:

  • Dull or tired-looking skin
  • Oily or congested skin
  • Visible pores
  • Uneven-looking skin texture
  • Excess surface oil
  • Blackheads and congestion
  • Uneven-looking skin tone
  • Mild blemish-prone skin
  • Skin that looks tired or lacks radiance

Your skin will always be assessed before treatment to determine whether Carbon Peel is appropriate for your individual concerns.

Is a Carbon Peel Right for Your Skin?

How Does a Laser Carbon Peel Work?

A Carbon Peel can be suitable for clients who want to refresh the appearance of dull, oily or congested skin.

However, it is not automatically the right treatment for every skin concern.

For example, if your main concern is significant pigmentation, active inflammatory skin conditions, deeper scarring or more advanced signs of skin ageing, another treatment may be more appropriate.

During your consultation, we can discuss your concerns and decide whether Carbon Peel or another treatment would be a better option for your skin.

Step 1 — Skin preparation

The skin is cleansed and prepared before the carbon application.

Step 2 — Carbon application

A specialised carbon lotion is applied evenly to the treatment area and allowed to settle on the skin.

Step 3 — Laser treatment

The laser is then passed over the treated area. The carbon absorbs the laser energy and is removed along with surface impurities and excess oil.

Step 4 — Skin refresh

Once the treatment is complete, the skin is cleansed and appropriate finishing products are applied according to your skin's needs.

The treatment is designed to leave your complexion looking fresher, smoother and more refined.

Why Choose a Laser Carbon Peel?

A Carbon Peel can be a useful option when you want to refresh the appearance of your skin without choosing a more intensive treatment.

It may be particularly appealing if you are concerned about:

Congestion
Helping to cleanse the appearance of congested and oily skin.

Visible pores
Supporting a smoother and more refined-looking skin texture.

Dullness
Helping to restore a fresher and more radiant-looking complexion.
