Carbon Laser Facial

The Carbon Laser Facial is a four stage process. During the first stage, a carbon lotion is applied to the skin which dries immediately once on contact with the skin. Then a 1060nm wavelength laser reaches the dermis, creating controlled thermal damage to stimulate the healing process. This causes collagen, elastin and fibroblast production and remodelling to rejuvenate the skin and target fine lines and wrinkles. The heat created also induces remodelling and contraction of the pores, making it an ideal treatment for those with enlarged pores. When targeted at acne, this high energy treatment goes straight to the acne’s membrane and destroys it, reducing acne and its related inflammation.

The treatment comprises the removal of the carbon lotion with the laser which is then followed by our ZO wash and exfoliate polish  using magnesium crystals . Those crystals penetrate the skin to remove excess carbon from the skin which allows even deeper penetration.  This laser breaks up the carbon into fine particles and then absorbs them, by destroying the carbon and removing the dead skin cells, oils and impurities that were bound to it. The skin also receives a deep exfoliation during this second stage, making it 4 times stronger than any other peel on the market, and leaving the skin considerably brighter, and smoother in tone and texture.

The next stage is to complete the facial with a second pass of the laser without the carbon to penetrate even deeper targeting lines and wrinkles and pigment.

The fourth stage is to use  20 min of the Dermalux LED light lab or if you do not wish the Dermalux we can use a mask – The choice is yours.

The entire treatment takes approximately 60 minutes, and the effects are noticeable straight away. You’ll see an instant brightening of your skin, which will also feel smoother and softer than ever before.

The Carbon Laser Facial can be used to treat an array of skin concerns, including:

Tired, sunken and ageing skin.

• Uneven skin tone and texture.
• Pigmentation.
• Acne.
• Enlarged pores.

The Carbon Laser Facial is a completely safe skin treatment, with no reports of major skin complications or painful side effects. Post-treatment, you may notice some slight redness, and experience some tingling, but this will both subside post-treatment.

No downtime is required, and you will be able to resume daily activities straight away.

The number of sessions needed is dependent on the size of the treatment area, and the desired effect. Usually, we recommend a course of 2-6 treatments, to take place every 2-3 weeks for the best in beautiful, long-lasting results.

Though you may experience some slight redness, this will clear up within a few hours, and can be soothed with some ZO Skin care. We recommend keeping the skin clean and dry while it’s red, but once this has cleared up, makeup can be worn. Try to avoid oily makeup however, as this will clog your pores again. Natural mineral foundations are always a good idea.

Results can be enhanced with minimal sun exposure, a reduction in stress and the absence of smoking. We recommend using SPF 50 sun cream to protect the area for at least 1 month following on from treatment, as failure to do so could result in hyperpigmentation.

Each facial costs £120. A course of facials monthly by go cardless saves you monthly Please ask in clinic for more details.
