Also known as the Porcelain Doll Facial or Charcoal Peel, the Carbon Laser Facial is a non-invasive skin treatment that may support clearer, more refined skin texture. Offered at our Brisbane skin clinics, it’s suitable for individuals seeking to address concerns such as congestion, visible pores, or uneven tone, with no downtime required.
A carbon facial uses a specialised carbon-based cream in combination with a Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser. This process helps to gently exfoliate the skin and may assist with the appearance of:
Acne and congestion
Enlarged pores
Dull or uneven skin tone
Surface pigmentation
Mild acne scarring
This treatment is often selected for its ability to refresh the skin’s surface without discomfort.
Before the treatment, your practitioner will conduct a thorough consultation to determine whether a carbon laser facial is appropriate for your skin type and goals.
The skin is first cleansed to remove any makeup or residue. A fine layer of black carbon cream is applied and then activated with a specific laser setting. This step is followed by a second pass using a different laser mode, which creates a reaction that gently targets the cream and surface layers of the skin. This process is performed twice to ensure a complete and even result.
The carbon laser treatment may help stimulate collagen production, refine skin texture, and support a clearer complexion. It’s also suitable for those with active acne. After the treatment, the skin is wiped to remove remaining debris, and finishing products are applied.
