How does it work?
Firstly it is worth pointing out the key difference between this and other Carbon Facials or Peels is the use of a specialised Q-Switch laser which works at a frequency of 1064 nm. Whilst this may not mean a lot to you, it is important to be mindful as other frequencies can cause damage or trauma to the skin.
The treatment works by applying a thin layer of carbon to the skin’s surface. Once the carbon mask is evenly distributed, the laser is directed over the area.
The carbon particles absorb toxins and excess oils on the skin and the laser energy is attracted to the black colour of the carbon. The laser energy explodes the carbon. These exploding carbon particles removes the dead skin build up in the pores and the inner walls of the pores.
The simultaneous generation of thermal energy stimulates the synthesis of new collagen and the promotion of a healthy-looking complexion. Skin structure is visibly strengthened and enlarged pores purified and cleared.
