Pre-Treatment
- Avoid Direct Sun Exposure for at least 1-2 weeks before the treatment, reduce sun exposure to minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation.
- Extend the discontinuation period for products containing retinoids, AHA, BHA, or benzoyl peroxide to at least one week before the peel to prevent excessive irritation.- Ensure that the skin is well-hydrated prior to the peel to enhance the treatment’s effectiveness and ease of recovery

- After your peel, focus on using skincare products that support skin barrier repair and hydration. Look for ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid. We’ll recommend you some.
- Continue to protect your skin from the sun. Use a mineral spf daily, wear protective clothing, and use accessories like hats and sunglasses to shield your skin.
- Watch for Changes: Keep an eye out for any signs of infection or unusual skin reactions. Contact us immediately if you notice anything out of the ordinary.
- Skip the make-up, allow your skin to breathe and heal by avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment.

CARBON PEEL
The laser carbon peel is a fast and painless procedure done to help improve the look of skin.
It’s used primarily by people with oily skin, acne, and enlarged or clogged pores. This treatment is also beneficial if you’re starting to see the effects of sun damage to your skin.
Laser carbon peels are not for everyone. In this article, we’ll go over the benefits and effectiveness of this procedure so that you can best determine if this treatment is the right one for you.
Chemical peels also treat these skin conditions, but here are some of the main differences between the two:
- laser carbon peels use heat instead of chemicals for results
- laser carbon peels require no down time
- people with sensitive skin or skin conditions like eczema will usually experience less redness and irritation after a carbon peel than from a chemical peel
BENEFITS
- Acne
- Acne pigmentation
- Acne scarring
- Enlarged and clogged pores
- Melasma
- Photoaging
- Fine lines and wrinkles
the procedure for a laser carbon peeL
Be sure to make an appointment to discuss this procedure with your doctor or licensed aesthetician prior to having it done.
Your provider will recommend that you stop using retinols for around one week before the laser carbon peel. You should also use sunscreen daily during this time.
The laser carbon peel is a multi-part process that takes around 30 minutes from start to finish. For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as a lunchtime peel.
Here’s what you can expect from a typical laser carbon peel:
If you have sensitive skin, you may experience a slight pinking or reddening of the skin. This usually lasts for one hour or less.
Your doctor will spread a layer of liquid carbon onto your face. The carbon absorbs oil, dirt, and dead skin cells from deep within the pores.
You’ll wait for about 10 minutes for the liquid carbon to dry.
After the carbon has dried, your doctor will give you eye shields to protect your eyes from the laser.
Your doctor will pass a laser, such as the Nd:YAG, over the skin on a low-energy setting. This heats up the carbon, binding it to the epidermis.
If you have very sensitive skin or dark patches like melasma, your doctor may recommend skipping the heating step. The laser also heats up subdermal tissue, boosting collagen and plumping up fine lines.
On a higher-energy setting, the laser will be used to fragment the liquid carbon into tiny particles.
A smoke evaporator attached to the laser will remove the carbon as well as the debris and impurities it contains.
Your doctor may also apply a hydrating moisturizer and sunscreen to your skin after treatment.
You should immediately see brighter, glowing skin and tighter pores.
POST TREATMENT CARE
- Treat your skin gently after getting a laser carbon peel by continuing to moisturize daily.
- It’s normal to see some flaking or experience dryness for a few days,
- Use sunscreen regularly with at least SPF 30+ for several days after treatment.
- Don’t use any products containing retinol for at least five days after treatment.
- Do not exfoliate or use any abrasive or invasive skin treatments for at least one week.
- If you have oily skin, use products designed to combat acne to maintain optimum results.
- Use products containing collagen, collagen supplements, or follow a collagen-boosting diet if you have photoaged skin or fine lines.
EFFECTIVNESS
Laser carbon peels are typically very effective for improving the look of oily skin and large pores. If you have severe acne or acne scarring, it may take several treatments before you see full results. Fine lines and wrinkles should also be visibly diminished after one or more treatments.
In one case study Trusted Source, a young woman with severe pustular, cystic acne received six peel treatments two weeks apart.
Significant improvements were seen by the fourth treatment. After the sixth treatment, her acne was reduced by 90 percent. These long-lasting results were still apparent at a follow-up visit two months later.
Like chemical peels, laser carbon peels won’t provide permanent results. You may need ongoing treatments in order to sustain the benefits of each. Carbon peels may be repeated every two to three weeks. This period of time allows for ample collagen regeneration between treatments.
Everyone’s skin is different. Talk to your doctor or licensed aesthetician about how many treatments you should anticipate needing before you start to reap full benefits.
SIDE EFFECTS
Apart from a slight reddening of the skin and a tingling sensation, there should be no side effects after a laser carbon peel.
It’s important to have this procedure done by an experienced and licensed professional. This will help to ensure the safety of your skin and eyes as well as provide optimal results.
MICRODERMABRASION
What are the advantages?
The main advantages are low risk and rapid recovery compared to the other more invasive resurfacing methods such as dermabrasion, chemical peeling, and laser resurfacing.
Since microdermabrasion produces only a very superficial depth of skin removal, it works best on improving conditions on the surface of the skin such as early photoaging (sun damage), fine lines, age spots, acne, and superficial scarring, although the results are not dramatic.
Although the face is the most common area for microdermabrasion, any skin area, including neck, chest, back, and hands, may be treated.
About Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a painless and noninvasive. Typical microdermabrasion sessions can last anywhere from five to 60 minutes. Minimal to no recovery time is required after microdermabrasion and most people immediately return to daily activity after a session.
Makeup and nonirritating creams can usually be applied right after microdermabrasion. Studies have shown that microdermabrasion can even temporarily facilitate the absorption of some topical medications through increasing the permeability of the skin.
Microderm helps to gently remove “plaque” and skin debris. Since human skin typically regenerates at approximately 30-day intervals, skin improvement with microdermabrasion is temporary and needs to be repeated at average intervals of two to four weeks for continued improvement. Multiple treatments in combination with sunscreen, sun avoidance, and other skin-care creams yield best results.
Does microdermabrasion hurt?
Microdermabrasion treatment is painless. Some patients have reported some heat like a mild sunburn. You may feel some mild discomfort, but as microdermabrasion treatment continues, your skin gets used to the exfoliation. It feels like the mild facial massage from a special wand. Your face may appear a little pinkish in the first 24 hours, but you should not experience any itchiness or pain.
Contraindicators
- Presence of open sores and fresh scarring
- Herpes, acne (active stage)
- Diabetes and chronic diseases on the stage of decompensation

- Hypersensitive skin
Post-Treatment
- 24 hours to avoid exposure to the sun
