Carbon Peeling

What is Carbon Peeling?

Carbon peeling is a skincare treatment with the main ingredient being activated carbon. This treatment plays a role in repairing skin damage, cleansing the skin from toxins and chemicals, triggering collagen, drying acne, oil imbalances, uneven skin tone and removing blemishes. Used in aesthetic clinics for many years, a carbon peeling treatment is popular among patients with skin care problems.

Charcoal powder is used in the application where it is activated with heat and then applied to the skin with the assistance of laser beams. The treatment helps to also repair acne and blackhead scars, sun spots and other problems on the face. 

Who Is A Carbon Peeling Treatment Suitable For?

As with all medical skin treatments, carbon peeling should be applied to men and women over the age of 18. As puberty has not yet been finalized before this age, external treatments may disrupt the skin’s natural structure. For this reason, carbon peeling is more suitable for older patients. 

The treatment is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women and those who use isothreonine containing acne medication.

A carbon peeling treatment is suitable for patients with unwanted conditions such as sun spots on the skin, age spots, dull looking skin, and acne and scarring. The treatment should be performed in the winter season and patients should not be exposed to sunlight and spotlights after the procedure. It is recommended that the procedure be performed by an expert physician.

How Is A Carbon Peeling Treatment Performed?

Firstly, the skin is thoroughly cleaned, then the already prepared solution containing activated carbon particles is applied as a thin layer to the entire area avoiding the eye area. After about 15 minutes of waiting time, and when the solution applied to the face has dried, it is cleaned with the Q Switch Nd Yag laser. The combination of activated carbon and the laser make the process strong and effective, and provide a visible change in appearance for patients. This treatment aims to correct uneven skin tone, tightening of the pores, and add a vibrant look to the skin. It’s a great procedure that can be applied once a year on problem-free skin, for overall skin health.

What Is Recovery Like After The Treatment?

A carbon peeling is not a surgical procedure – it is achieved via activated charcoal and laser, therefore there are no major points to pay attention to. For best results, it is advised to refrain from using foreign skin care and makeup on the face on the day of the application. Furthermore, keeping the skin away from water within the first 6 hours after peeling is an important point to be considered. 

Patients who wish for permanent results after the treatment should seek and prepare a safe and healthy skin care routine for themselves after the procedure.Information about products that are suitable for the different  skin types can be obtained from the specialist who performed the procedure. With regular care, it’s possible to see the effects of this procedure.
