What Can Be Expected During the Carbon Laser Facial?
The Carbon Laser Facial is a cosmetic procedure that involves applying a thin layer of medical-grade carbon cream to cleansed skin. This carbon layer acts as a photo enhancer for the laser light that is applied during the procedure.
A RevLite Q-Switch Laser is used across the skin’s surface, targeting the carbon layer. The carbon absorbs the light from the laser and is then broken down and removed. This process also clears away dead skin cells and surface debris such as dirt and oil.
Different laser settings can be used as part of this procedure. The details, expected outcomes, risks, and aftercare will be discussed with Dr Ed Omarjee during your consultation.
During your consultation, Dr Omarjee may also explain how the Carbon Laser Facial differs from Laser Genesis, which uses gentle dermal heating to stimulate collagen and improve overall skin appearance.
Concerns That May Be Addressed With Carbon Laser Facial
The Carbon Laser Facial may be considered for patients with concerns such as:
- Blackheads and acne
- Enlarged pores
- Changes in skin complexion
- Changes in skin appearance related to ageing
It is important to note that outcomes can vary. The possible benefits, risks, and aftercare will be discussed with Dr Ed Omarjee during your consultation.
Laser Genesis may also be discussed during your visit, as it can be considered for concerns such as mild redness, uneven skin tone, visible capillary redness, or general textural changes. Your suitability for either treatment will depend on your individual skin assessment.
Is the Carbon Laser Facial Suitable for My Skin Type?
Suitability for the Carbon Laser Facial depends on individual factors, including your skin type and specific concerns. The number of sessions that may be recommended will also vary from patient to patient.
Laser Genesis is also suitable for a wide range of skin types and may be an option for patients seeking a non-invasive treatment focused on improving general skin tone, redness, or early signs of ageing. Dr Omarjee will advise whether this may be appropriate for your needs.
