If you’re looking for a way to achieve smooth, clear, and rejuvenated skin, the Carbon Laser Peel in Vancouver at Roc Aesthetics may be exactly what you need. Also known as the Hollywood Peel or Carbon Laser Facial, this treatment has become popular worldwide for its effectiveness in exfoliating the skin, shrinking pores, and enhancing radiance. Carbon Peel is a non-invasive procedure that uses laser energy combined with a carbon-based solution to deeply cleanse and revitalize the skin.
While many people use these terms interchangeably, the Hollywood Peel is simply another name for the Carbon Laser Peel. The term “Hollywood Peel” originated from its popularity among celebrities looking for a quick, effective facial with no downtime before a red carpet event.
The carbon facial is a revolutionary treatment that utilizes activated carbon particles and a laser to achieve deep exfoliation and skin rejuvenation. Often called the Hollywood Peel, it’s popular among celebrities and those seeking a quick, visible refresh before events.
The process involves applying a thin layer of carbon to the skin, which acts as a “magnet” to draw out impurities. The carbon particles, dead skin cells, oil, and other contaminants are all effectively broken up by the laser’s application.
The result?
Removes dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling fresh and smooth.
Reduces the appearance of large pores, improving skin texture.
Helps eliminate blackheads and whiteheads, reducing the chances of acne breakouts.
Evens out skin tone, making your complexion more radiant.
Stimulates collagen production, which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Absolutely. A Carbon Peel can be highly effective in treating acne and acne scars due to its unique process of deep cleansing, exfoliation, and collagen stimulation. Here’s a breakdown of how it helps:
Deep Cleansing and Oil Control: The treatment begins with the application of a thin layer of carbon lotion on the skin. This carbon penetrates deep into the pores. When the laser targets the carbon, it heats up and vaporizes the particles along with dirt, oil, and dead skin cells. This deep cleaning process helps reduce oil buildup, unclog pores, and minimize acne-causing bacteria, which can lead to fewer breakouts.
Exfoliation and Smoother Skin Texture: The laser energy used in the carbon peel helps exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells. This gentle exfoliation promotes skin renewal, which can gradually soften the appearance of shallow acne scars and improve skin texture. By removing these damaged layers, the treatment helps smooth out skin and makes scars less noticeable.
Collagen Stimulation for Scar Repair: Collagen production is stimulated by the laser’s heat, which is necessary for the firmness and flexibility of skin. Collagen helps in the repair of damaged skin tissue, filling in areas where acne scars might have left depressions in the skin. Over time, the increased collagen can lead to smoother, firmer skin and reduced visibility of acne scars.
Reduction of Redness and Hyperpigmentation: The treatment can also help lighten post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots that appear after acne). The laser targets pigmented areas and breaks down melanin, leading to a more even skin tone over time. This process can improve the overall appearance of scars by minimizing discoloration.
Quick Procedure with Minimal Downtime: Hollywood peels are non-invasive and typically require little to no downtime, making them convenient for people with busy schedules. Though multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results, each session is relatively quick, and most people can return to daily activities right away.
Results and Considerations: While results vary depending on skin type and the severity of acne and scarring, many people notice improvements after a few sessions. A consultation with our skin care professional is essential to determine the best approach, as some individuals may need a series of treatments to achieve desired results.
In summary, this treatment can be an effective option for managing acne, reducing oiliness, minimizing acne scars, and improving skin texture, all while promoting a clearer and healthier complexion. The carbon particles, together with debris, oil, and dead skin cells, are heated and vaporized when the laser strikes it.
The carbon facial is a safe treatment with minimal side effects. Common, temporary side effects may include slight redness and a tingling sensation, which usually subsides within a few hours. Our trained professionals at Roc Aesthetics take every precaution to ensure a comfortable and effective experience.
If you have sensitive skin, consult with our skin care experts beforehand to discuss any potential risks.
The results of a Hollywood Laser Peel can last anywhere from a few weeks to several months, depending on individual skin type, lifestyle, and skincare routine. Most clients at Roc Aesthetics report smoother and clearer skin for up to 4-6 weeks.
The ideal number of sessions varies based on individual skin concerns. For general maintenance and glowing skin, a session every month is often sufficient. However, for those targeting specific issues like acne or enlarged pores, 4-6 sessions may be recommended to achieve the best results.
So we recommend a series of treatments to maintain long-lasting results.
