Carbon peeling: principle of action
A specialized carbon-based gel, which has a characteristic gray-black color, is applied to the cleansed, disinfected skin. After drying, the skin surface with the applied gel is treated with a laser. The laser affects the dark carbon area, and under the influence of laser radiation, the carbon breaks down into smaller particles, which leads to the cleansing of pores and the elimination of dead epidermal cells. In addition, the thermal effect of the laser stimulates the natural processes of cell regeneration, which cause skin rejuvenation.
When should you use carbon peeling?
Carbon peeling should be used if the following indications are present:
- If there are enlarged pores on the skin;
- If there are small first facial or age wrinkles on the skin;
- If you have oily skin with signs of acne and post-acne;
- In the presence of comedones;
- If you have acne;
- With pigmentation;
- With poor skin color;
- If there is reduced turgor (firmness, elasticity and fullness) of the skin
- With couperose.
However, if any of the listed indications are present, the carbon peeling procedure is prescribed by a cosmetologist of our center after a preliminary consultation. There are a number of contraindications under which laser carbon peeling is prohibited..

The carbon mask has an adsorbing function, thanks to which the skin is cleansed deep in the pores, and the laser destroys the particles of the carbon mask along with the absorbed accumulations. In addition, laser flashes lead to micro-explosions of carbon, which help remove superficial dead cells of the epidermis and trigger natural mechanisms of skin regeneration. That is why after the carbon peeling procedure there is a refreshing effect and the skin after some time acquires a beautiful, even and velvety tone. The thermal effect of the laser also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which contributes to intensive skin lifting.
