Oily, congested skin with enlarged pores often needs a treatment that goes beneath the surface to address excess oil at its source. Carbon Facial, also known as a carbon laser peel, combines a specialised carbon lotion with laser energy to deep clean pores, control oil and instantly refine skin texture, leaving a smoother, more matte complexion.
At our Anna Nagar clinic, every Carbon Facial session is performed only after a detailed skin assessment by experienced dermatologists to confirm suitability and calibrate laser settings for your skin type.
Carbon Facial, sometimes called a carbon laser peel, begins with a thin layer of specialised carbon lotion applied across the skin. This carbon solution seeps into pores and binds to excess oil, dead skin cells and surface debris. A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is then passed over the skin, and because carbon particles absorb laser energy very efficiently, the laser causes the carbon – along with the oil and debris bound to it – to vaporise instantly off the skin’s surface.
This process, known as selective photothermolysis, is precisely targeted because the laser energy is preferentially absorbed by the carbon rather than the surrounding skin, allowing for effective deep cleansing with minimal heat impact on healthy tissue. As the carbon vaporises, the same laser pass also delivers a very mild, gentle thermal effect to the upper dermis, which can offer a secondary benefit of subtle pore tightening and mild stimulation over a course of sessions.
This combination of deep pore cleansing with a mild thermal effect is what makes Carbon Facial particularly popular for oily and combination skin types, where enlarged pores and excess sebum are primary concerns. Because the treatment addresses oil and congestion directly rather than only exfoliating the surface, results – a smoother, more matte, refined complexion – are typically visible immediately after just one session.
At our Anna Nagar clinic, every Carbon Facial session is performed only after a detailed skin assessment by experienced dermatologists to confirm suitability and calibrate laser settings appropriately for your specific skin type and oil production levels.
