What is the Carbon Peel?
The Carbon Peel, also known as the Hollywood Peel or carbon peel, is a non-invasive laser resurfacing treatment. A thin layer of medical-grade carbon is applied to the face; it penetrates the pores and binds to sebum and impurities.
The Hollywood Spectra laser is then applied to the skin. Its energy is absorbed by the carbon particles, which vaporize and release heat to the skin’s surface: the epidermis is exfoliated, the pores are cleansed and tightened, and the dermis is stimulated to produce collagen.
Its nickname comes from the celebrities who use it before major events. At My Laser, it is offered for:
- Oily skin and enlarged pores
- Dull complexion: instant radiance
- Mild to moderate acne, blackheads, and microcysts
- Superficial acne marks and scars
- Fine lines and uneven skin texture
- The backs of the hands: radiance and superficial spots
The Benefits of the Hollywood Peel
Instant Radiance
After just one session, your skin will be exfoliated, more radiant, and softer. It’s the go-to radiance treatment before a wedding, a party, or a photo shoot.
Tightened pores, balanced sebum production
Carbon removes impurities without any manual manipulation, and the heat from the laser tightens pores and reduces sebum production. Oily and acne-prone skin types benefit the most from this treatment.
Without social exclusion
A slight redness that lasts a few hours at most: you can resume your normal activities the same day and apply makeup the next day.
Medium and dark skin tones
The laser targets the carbon deposited on the skin, not the melanin: the treatment is suitable for all skin types, with settings adjusted during the consultation.
What happens during a Carbon Peel treatment?
The session lasts about 30 minutes, including the mask. A free consultation is provided beforehand to check for any contraindications and determine the number of sessions.
Cleansing and Carbon Mask
Makeup is removed and the skin is cleansed, then a thin layer of medical-grade carbon is applied. It is left on for about ten minutes to penetrate the pores.
Eye Protection
Safety goggles will be provided to you before the laser is turned on.
Hollywood Spectra Laser Treatment
The practitioner sweeps the carbon across the face in one or two strokes. The carbon crackles as it vaporizes, accompanied by a sensation of warmth, drawing out impurities.
Soothing Cream
A soothing cream and sunscreen round out the session. Your skin will be clear, smooth, and radiant when you leave the spa.
As a treatment course: 3 to 5 sessions spaced 2 weeks apart, followed by one maintenance session per quarter. For a special event: one session 48 to 72 hours beforehand.
