Carbon Laser Peel
A non-invasive laser treatment designed to deeply cleanse and exfoliate, particularly beneficial for oily, congested and acne prone skin.
What is a Carbon Laser Peel?
A Carbon Laser Peel is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to deeply cleanse and exfoliate. A carbon lotion is applied to the skin before laser energy is used to heat and remove the carbon, helping exfoliate dead skin cells, absorb excess oil and clear impurities from the pores.
It is particularly beneficial for oily, congested and acne prone skin, while also helping improve skin texture, pore appearance and overall radiance.

What is involved in a Carbon Laser Peel treatment?
Treatment begins with a thorough cleanse of the skin to remove makeup, oils and impurities.
A thin layer of medical-grade carbon lotion is then applied evenly across the treatment area and allowed to settle into the pores. The laser is passed over the skin, where the carbon absorbs the laser energy and is gently vaporised.
This process helps remove surface impurities, dead skin cells and excess oil while providing a controlled exfoliating effect. The treatment is generally comfortable, although you may hear a series of small snapping sounds as the laser interacts with the carbon.
The treatment is completed with gentle cleansing and appropriate skincare to leave the skin feeling refreshed and revitalised.
How can Carbon Laser Peel improve your skin concerns?
The carbon lotion helps absorb excess oil and impurities from within the pores. When activated by the laser, the carbon is rapidly heated and vaporised, helping to remove dead skin cells and surface debris.
This controlled exfoliation can help refine the appearance of pores, reduce surface oil and improve skin texture. The thermal effect of the laser may also support collagen stimulation, contributing to longer-term improvements in skin quality.
With a course of treatments, the skin can appear cleaner, smoother, more balanced and more radiant.

Frequently asked questions.
Anything not covered here is best discussed in your consultation.
Carbon Laser Peel is generally a comfortable treatment. Most patients experience a mild warming sensation and may hear small snapping or popping sounds as the laser interacts with the carbon.
Carbon Laser Peel involves minimal to no downtime. Mild redness or warmth may occur immediately following treatment but generally settles relatively quickly.
The skin often feels smoother, cleaner and more refreshed immediately following treatment. Improvements in oil control, pore appearance and overall skin clarity can become more noticeable with a course of treatments.
Yes. Carbon Laser Peel is particularly useful for oily and congested skin. The carbon helps absorb excess oil and impurities, while the laser treatment provides a controlled exfoliating effect.
Carbon Laser Peel may be beneficial for acne-prone and congested skin by helping reduce excess oil, clear pore congestion and improve overall skin clarity. It can form part of a broader acne-management program.
Carbon Laser Peel can help improve the appearance of enlarged pores by removing surface debris and excess oil while providing a gentle exfoliating effect. Regular treatments may help the pores appear more refined.
Carbon Laser Peel may provide some improvement in superficial pigmentation and uneven skin tone through exfoliation and skin renewal. However, more established pigmentation concerns may require a targeted pigment treatment and individual assessment.
A course of 3–6 treatments may be recommended depending on your skin concerns and treatment goals. Treatment frequency will be individualised based on your skin condition and response.
Most patients can return to normal activities immediately, but your clinician may recommend allowing the skin to settle before applying makeup if there is redness or sensitivity.
Carbon Laser Peel can be suitable for many skin types, but individual suitability depends on your skin condition, pigmentation risk, medications and treatment goals.
A consultation and skin assessment are recommended before treatment.
