Carbon Facial

What is a Carbon Facial?

Reveal Clearer, Brighter and More Radiant Skin

If your skin is looking dull, congested or lacking its natural glow, a Carbon Facial may be the perfect treatment to restore clarity and radiance. Often referred to as the "Hollywood Facial", this advanced, non-invasive laser treatment deeply exfoliates the skin whilst stimulating collagen production to improve overall skin health and appearance.

By combining the purifying properties of activated carbon with laser technology, the Carbon Facial helps to refine pores, improve skin texture and reveal a smoother, fresher complexion with little to no downtime. It is particularly beneficial for individuals concerned with oily skin, enlarged pores, mild acne and the early signs of ageing.

How Does a Carbon Facial Work?

The treatment begins with the application of a thin layer of medical-grade liquid carbon to the skin. The carbon penetrates deep into the pores, binding to excess oil, impurities and dead skin cells.

Once the carbon has dried, laser energy is passed across the skin. The laser targets and vaporises the carbon particles, gently exfoliating the skin and removing the impurities attached to them. At the same time, the heat generated within the deeper layers of the skin stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, helping to improve skin firmness, texture and overall rejuvenation. This dual-action approach delivers both an immediate brightening effect and longer-term skin benefits.

Before After

What Can a Carbon Facial Treat?

Carbon Facials can help improve a variety of common skin concerns, including:

  • Enlarged pores

  • Oily and congested skin

  • Blackheads and whiteheads

  • Mild acne and breakouts

  • Acne scarring

  • Uneven skin tone and texture

  • Dull, tired-looking skin

  • Fine lines and early signs of ageing

  • Loss of skin radiance

Suitable for both men and women, this versatile treatment offers an excellent option for maintaining healthy, glowing skin throughout the year.

What Does the Treatment Involve?

Your treatment journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and patch test to ensure the Carbon Facial is suitable for your skin concerns and goals.

Following a thorough cleanse, a thin layer of liquid carbon is carefully applied to the treatment area and allowed to dry. The laser is then passed over the skin, targeting the carbon particles and gently exfoliating the surface while stimulating collagen production within the deeper layers.

Most clients describe the treatment as comfortable, experiencing only a mild warming or tingling sensation. Treatment sessions typically take 45–60 minutes, leaving the skin looking refreshed, smoother and more radiant.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Many clients notice an improvement in skin clarity and radiance following their first Carbon Facial. However, because the benefits are cumulative, a course of treatments is often recommended to achieve optimal results.

For best outcomes, we typically advise 3–6 treatments over a period of 2–3 months, followed by maintenance treatments every six months to help preserve and enhance your results.

Your practitioner will discuss a personalised treatment plan during your consultation.
