A ‘go-to’ treatment for many celebrities, the carbon peel is a great way to rejuvenate and replenish the skin. Suitable for use on the face and body, the carbon peel can address common skin concerns such as: oily skin, blackheads, Enlarged Pores, dull skin and acne. As a non-invasive procedure, the carbon peel can deliver incredible results, quickly and effectively. A course of between 2 and 6 treatments may be needed to achieve the best results for you – according to your conditions and expected outcome.

The carbon liquid that is applied to the skin penetrates deep into the dermis, and is able to absorb excess sebum and other impurities from the pores. A laser is passed over the treatment area which works to destroy the carbon particles and remove the peel, along with dead skin cells, dirt and other contaminants. The laser also delivers heat energy to the skin which eliminates bacteria on the surface, which helps to minimise spots and breakouts of acne.

This treatment can produce a smoother, clearer and brighter complexion. It’s ability to deeply cleanse and exfoliate the skin results in a more radiant appearance, with smaller pores and less oil on the surface.

The carbon peel can be suitable for many people who are looking to revitalise their appearance. Attending a consultation will determine the benefits for you, depending on your personal skin concerns. A more even tone and texture of the complexion can be achieved, as well as softer wrinkles, less inflammation and clearer pore.

The carbon solution used within this treatment is not harsh on the skin, and is therefore considered to be a safer option than other facial peels on the aesthetic market. As well as being gentle on the complexion, the treatment process does not use any form of scrubbing, which can irritate the skin.

Many patients will agree that the carbon peel is a virtually pain-free treatment. You may feel a tingling sensation as the laser is applied, along with a warming feeling within the skin.

There are rarely any complications experienced following the carbon peel. It is normal for your skin to look a little flushed and feel slightly tingly, after the treatment. These effects will often ease within a few hours and should not cause disruption to your day.

You should endeavour to keep the skin clean and dry, avoiding wearing heavy make-up. Although Dr. Madhuri encourages everyone to use SPF on a daily basis, it may be more important after the carbon peel as the skin may be more sensitive to the sun for up to 1 month. Increasing the level of protection may be useful, using SPF of 30s.
