The carbon peel laser works on multiple levels of the skin:
• Deep cleansing: Removes oil, dirt, dead skin cells, and impurities from within pores.
• Sebum regulation: Reduces excess oil production, preventing future breakouts.
• Acne control: Inhibits Cutibacterium acnes bacteria replication, reducing active acne
lesions and inflammation.
• Collagen stimulation: The laser energy triggers the body’s natural healing response,
promoting new collagen formation for firmer, more elastic skin.
• Pore refinement: Reduces the appearance of enlarged pores, giving the skin a
smoother, more refined texture.
• Pigmentation reduction: Targets dark spots, post-acne marks, and melasma by
breaking down melanin clusters and accelerating cell turnover.
Research shows that 100% of patients experience overall skin improvement as assessed by
standardised skin quality measures, with most noticing visible glow and smoother texture
after just one session.
Carbon laser peel is suitable for:
• All skin types and tones, including darker complexions.
• Patients with active acne, blackheads, and excess oil production.
• Those seeking to reduce pore size and refine skin texture.
• Individuals with pigmentation, dark spots, post-acne marks, or uneven skin tone.
• Patients wanting anti-aging benefits (reduced fine lines, improved skin quality,
restored radiance).
• Anyone looking for a quick, effective skin refresh with minimal discomfort.
At Cutis, a dermatologist will assess your skin condition, concerns, and expectations to
ensure carbon laser peel is the right choice for you.
The treatment is quick, comfortable, and typically takes 30–45 minutes:
1. Cleansing and Numbing: The skin is thoroughly cleansed; a numbing cream may be
applied for extra comfort.
2. Carbon Mask Application: A thin layer of liquid carbon is evenly applied to the
treatment area and allowed to dry for about 10 minutes, where it binds to the skin’s
surface and within pores.
3. Laser Treatment: The Q-switched laser is carefully passed over the skin in
controlled patterns, gently vaporising the carbon particles. You may feel a mild
warmth or slight snapping sensation.
4. Cooling and Soothing: The skin is cooled, and a soothing serum or antioxidant is
applied to reduce any redness and enhance healing.
5. Post-Treatment Care: Sunscreen (SPF 30+) is applied, and you receive skincare
instructions to maintain results.
Most patients experience only minor temporary redness that resolves within hours.
Immediate Results:
• Visible glow and smoother skin immediately after the first session.
• Pores appear refined; skin looks brighter and more even-toned.
Progressive Improvement:
• Results continue to improve over 2–4 weeks as the skin naturally renews and
collagen production increases.
Recommended Treatment Plan:
• For lasting improvements in acne, pigmentation, enlarged pores, and overall skin
quality, a series of 4–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart is recommended.
• Maintenance sessions may be done quarterly to sustain results.
Long-Term Benefits:
• Reduced acne recurrence when combined with proper skincare and sun protection.
• Sustained reduction in pore size and improved skin texture.
• Maintained skin brightness and more youthful appearance.
Strict sun protection (SPF 50+ daily) after treatment helps prevent pigmentation from
recurring.
