🌿 Carbon Peel Facial in Altrincham

Nov 6, 2025

3 min read

The Carbon Peel Facial—often called the Hollywood Laser Peel—is a gentle yet highly effective treatment designed to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and rejuvenate the skin. It uses advanced laser technology to target impurities, reduce excess oil, and promote collagen renewal for a brighter, smoother, and more refined complexion.

A fine layer of medical-grade carbon lotion is applied to the skin, acting as a powerful photo-enhancer. When the laser passes over it, the carbon particles absorb light energy, effectively lifting away debris, dead skin cells, and oil from deep within the pores—leaving the skin visibly cleaner and more luminous.

What the Carbon Peel Facial Treats (Indications)

This versatile treatment is suitable for most skin types and can address a range of common skin concerns, including:

Enlarged or congested pores
Oily or acne-prone skin
Active acne and post-acne scarring
Uneven skin tone and dullness
Fine lines and early signs of ageing
Pigmentation and sun damage
Textural irregularities

It’s an ideal “red carpet” or pre-event facial, offering instant radiance with zero downtime.

Who Should Avoid the Treatment (Contraindications)

While the Carbon Peel is non-invasive and safe for most individuals, it may not be suitable for:

Clients with active skin infections, open wounds, or severe inflammation in the treatment area
