As we age, our bodies naturally produce less collagen – and this decrease can start as early as our mid-20s.
Every year, we start to lose around 1% of our collagen.
The Carbon Laser Facial is an innovative method of triggering collagen, fibroblast and elastin production – safely and painlessly.
This procedure restores the skin’s healthy condition, by repairing damaged skin cells, through controlled trauma to the skin.
The Carbon Facial not only encourages skin cell turnover, but it also leaves your complexion looking fresher, smoother, and more youthful – after the first session.
Skin concerns such as: acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation, and uneven skin tone and texture can also be improved with each Carbon Facial session.
There is a two-part treatment.
The first stage involves the application of carbon to the skin followed by a laser. The heat from the laser will trigger a healing response, and as a result your body will increase collagen production.
The second part to the carbon laser treatment involves the removal of the carbon solution using our advanced Q-switch laser machine and short pulses. This removes any impurities and dead skin cells that lie on the surface of the skin.
Results vary from patient to patient, however depending on your skin type and skin
concerns, a minimum of four carbon facial sessions – every three to four weeks is recommended for optimum results.
Our highly skilled practitioners at My London Skin Clinic will create a tailored treatment plan that best suits your skin needs.
The Carbon Facial is generally suitable for most skin types and tones, allowing all patients
to achieve glowing skin.
Before your carbon laser treatment, one of our highly skilled practitioners will carry out an in-depth skin analysis to ensure your suitability for the treatment.
With no recovery time, the Carbon Facial is an extremely effective method of improving your overall skin – in less than 30 minutes.
