Carbon Laser Peel
Procedure Information

The Carbon Laser Peel is a non-ablative skin rejuvenation treatment using advanced 1064nm Q-switched laser technology. It delivers targeted laser energy beneath the skin’s surface without damaging outer layers, helping to clarify pore structure, balance skin tone, and restore natural radiance.

  • No-Downtime Skin Rejuvenation – Non-ablative laser treatment for skin radiance, pigmentation and overall appearance.
  • Advanced Q-Switched Laser Technology – We use 1064 nm Q-switched laser (Hollywood Spectra).
  • Minimal Downtime – Generally well tolerated, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime. Suitable for all skin types.

The treatment is suitable for a range of skin types when appropriately assessed and treated. It is particularly popular for patients seeking a refreshed, brighter-looking complexion with minimal interruption to daily activities.

Treatment Areas

The Carbon Laser Peel can be performed on the face, neck or decolletage, depending on individual skin concerns and suitability.

Common Names

  • Hollywood Carbon Laser Facial
  • China Doll Peel/Facial
  • Q-Switched Carbon Laser Peel
  • Spectra Laser Peel

MOA

For a carbon laser peel, a thin layer of carbon lotion is applied to the skin and allowed to dry before the 1064 nm Q-switched laser is passed over the area. The laser interacts with the carbon particles, helping remove surface impurities and excess oil while improving the appearance of pores and skin texture.

The laser also targets selected pigmentation and supports collagen remodelling. The treatment is non-ablative, leaving the skin surface intact, with minimal discomfort and downtime for most patients.

Carbon Laser Peel Treatment Summary

A course of about 3-4 treatments, spaced anywhere from 4-6 weeks apart, is commonly recommended.

Each session is short, typically around 15 minutes.

Sensation varies between patients, with most describing it as mild and accompanied by a warm and prickly sensation. Comfort measures such as a skin-cooling device can be used. No anaesthesia or topical numbing required.

Downtime is generally limited, though some patients notice mild redness for a few hours afterwards.

Noticeable improvements may be seen after just one treatment, with further results developing gradually over a course of sessions.

6-12 months.
Note: Results vary depending on your skin concerns, lifestyle and skincare routine. Maintenance treatments may help sustain skin clarity and radiance over time.

Most people return to usual activities soon after treatment, though patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise, direct sun and chlorinated water for the first 72 hours.

Patients are advised to avoid direct sunlight for 24 hours and to avoid strenuous exercise  and chlorinated water for the first 72 hours; tailored aftercare guidance is provided at your appointment.

Hollywood Carbon Laser Facial: General Information

Procedure Steps:

  1. Consultation and skin assessment: We assess your skin type, concerns, medical history and suitability for treatment.
  2. Skin preparation: The skin is cleansed, and protective eyewear is provided. If a carbon laser peel is planned, a thin layer of carbon lotion is applied and allowed to dry.
  3. Laser treatment: The 1064 nm Q-switched laser is passed over the treatment area using settings tailored to your skin and treatment goals.
  4. Post-treatment care: The skin is assessed, and appropriate skincare and sun protection advice is provided.
  5. Clinical photography: Standardised photographs may be taken before and after treatment, with your informed consent, to document progress.

Treatment typically involves minimal discomfort and little to no downtime. The exact procedure may vary depending on whether a carbon peel is included.

The Hollywood Laser Facial is generally well tolerated, but temporary redness, warmth, swelling or sensitivity may occur. Less commonly, blistering, burns, pigmentation changes or scarring can develop.

Melasma and darker skin types require particular care due to the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. A clinical assessment helps determine suitability and minimise potential risks.

Choose a clinic with experienced practitioners, advanced medical-grade laser technology and a strong focus on patient safety. The quality of the laser system, appropriate treatment settings and the practitioner’s understanding of different skin types and conditions can influence both treatment outcomes and the risk of complications.

At Medaesthetics, we use Hollywood Spectra and Revlite SI 1064 nm Q-switched laser systems. Each treatment is planned according to your skin type, concerns and goals, with a clinical assessment to determine suitability.

We also discuss realistic expectations, potential risks, aftercare and whether combining treatments may be appropriate for your skin.
