This treatment begins with applying a light layer of black carbon paste to the skin.
As the carbon dries, it attaches itself to dirt, oil or dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. Once dried we use high-level laser light pulses that attach to the carbon and vaporise it. As the heat from our laser is pulsed deep into the skin, our skin’s natural healing mechanisms are activated in the deeper layers.
Cellular turnover is stimulated, and fibroblasts are ignited to begin regenerating collagen and elastin. Over a few weeks to months, the regenerative results will continue. The treatment lasts around 30 minutes and results are and instant improvement to the skins texture and tone with a radiant glowing complexion. Clients can expect to hear a cracking sound as the laser light zaps the carbon - there is no pain during the treatment.
This treatment is effective for the following skin concerns:
Clients should expect some redness to the skin immediately post treatment which resolves after a few hours.
The treatment causes no discomfort to clients. Some clients may experience a slight warming of the skin or a tingling sensation present when the treatment is actively being performed.
Clients will see immediate results after just one treatment. However for long term conditions or stubborn skin concerns such as acne, pigmentation or enlarged pores we would recommend a course of 3-6 sessions 2-4 weeks apart.
Yes client will need to book a patch test appointment prior to the appointment. Please head to the 'Consultation' section and book in your patch test.
We recommend using and SPF for the few days and weeks following treatment. Avoid extremes of heat such as saunas, steam rooms and sunbeds. Also avoid swimming and exercise for 48 hours after treatment. Avoid wearing make up for the rest of the day to avoid clogging up the newly cleaned pores. Avoid topical retinol creams for 5 days after treatment.
