WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN GETTING A CARBON LASER FACIAL
The Carbon Laser Facial was once referred to as the China Doll facial. It has been a very popular treatment throughout Asia for a long time. This is probably because it was a safe laser treatment that offered patients the hope of brighter, more radiant skin and deep layer rejuvenation with less risk of hyper/hypo pigmentation, especially for people with darker skin types. This treatment had other benefits such as removing surface dirt, oil and dead skin cells and reducing the acnes bacteria responsible for acne.
No matter by what name you might know it, the principle is the same. carbon laser facial is a non-ablative laser skin treatment that uses the conductive qualities of carbon to quickly and painlessly exfoliate, cleanse, clear and tighten pores, brighten and even-out skin tone and activate a deeply rejuvenating skin reaction that produces skin that is smooth, plump and radiant!
Two in One Action
A carbon paste, cream or lotion is applied to clean skin in a very thin opaque layer and allowed to reach skin temperature approximately for 10 to 20 minutes. As the carbon dries, it is attaching to dirt, oil or dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. The carbon is now ready to meet the laser.
Light from the laser is attracted to the carbon. The carbon absorbs the light energy. The reaction causes a mini explosion. The explosion pushes the energy, in the form of heat, deep into the layers of the skin where elastin and collagen are activated and cells begin producing anew. Meanwhile, on the surface of the skin, as the explosion occurs the carbon is vaporized along with any dirt, oil or dead skin cells. Sounds kind of scary, with all the explosions and vaporizing, but don't worry. There'svery little discomfort or pain. The sensation has been described as a mild tingling or very slight pinch.
At the end of the treatment the skin will feel slightly warm. Skin is plump and “baby-bottom” smooth. There’s a more even tone. Fine lines are diminished. Pores are tighter. These outcomes are realized almost immediately, and will last for several days.
