Why Carbon Facials?
Carbon facials are a quick, pain free treatment option for those wanting to achieve smoother, more radiant skin. As the carbon facial works by exfoliating dead skin cells, patients are left with a more radiant, brighter complexion after just 1 treatment. This facial will leave your skin glowing, making it the perfect treatment before a special event.
What To Expect With Your Treatment
During Treatment:
The skin is thoroughly cleansed before the carbon cream is applied to the skin and left to absorb for approximately 10 minutes. Following this, the laser device handpiece is passed over the skin to remove the carbon as well as dead skin cells. Once all the carbon has been removed, the skin is cleansed, followed by the application of SPF to provide protection.
A warm, tingling sensation can be felt through the treatment, as well as a loud "crackling" noise from the device as the carbon is removed. Overall, the treatment is relatively comfortable and can take from 30-40 minutes to complete.
Post Treatment:
There is no true downtime with this treatment. Some mild redness can be seen post treatment which will reduce over the next few hours. It is safe to apply makeup post treatment, although SPF is highly recommended for protection.
Although results can be seen after just 1 treatment, a series of 6 treatments every 4 weeks is recommended for long-term results.
