Advanced Carbon Laser Facial in Blackheath
Deeply cleanse. Refine. Brighten.
The Carbon Laser Facial, also known as the Hollywood Peel, is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to deeply cleanse and exfoliate the skin while improving the appearance of pores, excess oil, uneven texture and dullness.
The treatment combines a specialised carbon solution with laser technology. The carbon is applied to the skin before the laser is used to target the carbon and help remove surface impurities, excess oil and dead skin cells.
The result is skin that feels cleaner, smoother and more refined, with a fresh, healthy-looking glow.
Suitable Skin Types
This treatment is suitable for Fitzpatrick Skin Types I–IV only. A skin assessment and consultation are required before treatment to confirm suitability.

What Can the Carbon Laser Facial Help With?
The Carbon Laser Facial is particularly suited to skin that appears congested, oily, dull or uneven.
It can help improve the appearance of:
- Enlarged or visible pores
- Excess oil and shine
- Blackheads and congestion
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Uneven skin texture
- Mild breakouts
- Uneven-looking skin tone
- Fine lines
- Lack of radiance
It is also an excellent treatment when you want your skin to look fresh, smooth and luminous before a special occasion.
How Does the Carbon Laser Facial Work?
Step 1 — Skin Preparation
Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared for treatment.
Step 2 — Carbon Application
A specialised carbon solution is applied evenly across the treatment area.
The carbon works within the pores, helping to absorb excess oil and surface impurities.
Step 3 — Laser Treatment
The laser is passed over the carbon-treated skin using carefully selected settings.
The laser energy interacts with the carbon, helping to exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin and remove accumulated oil, debris and dead skin cells.
Step 4 — Skin Renewal
The treatment provides controlled thermal stimulation to the skin, supporting a smoother and more refined appearance.
Step 5 — Finishing Skincare
The treatment is completed with professional skincare selected according to your skin’s individual needs.
Your Skin After Treatment
Many clients notice that their skin feels smoother and looks brighter immediately after treatment.
You may notice:
- A fresher-looking complexion
- Smoother skin texture
- Less visible surface oil
- Cleaner-looking pores
- Improved radiance
For concerns such as congestion, enlarged pores, uneven texture and oiliness, a course of treatments may provide more noticeable and progressive results than a single session.
Individual results vary depending on your skin and the concern being treated.
Minimal Downtime
The Carbon Laser Facial is a non-invasive treatment and generally requires little to no downtime.
Some temporary redness, warmth or mild sensitivity may occur following treatment. Your practitioner will advise you on appropriate aftercare and skincare following your appointment.
Because your skin can be more sensitive following laser treatment, daily SPF is essential.
Is the Carbon Laser Facial Right for You?
This treatment may be particularly beneficial if you have:
- Oily or combination skin
- Congested skin
- Enlarged pores
- Blackheads
- Dull or lacklustre skin
- Uneven texture
- Mild breakouts
- Skin that needs a quick refresh
Skin Type Restriction
The Carbon Laser Facial is only suitable for Fitzpatrick Skin Types I–IV. It is not suitable for Fitzpatrick Skin Types V–VI. Your Fitzpatrick skin type will be assessed during your consultation before treatment.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
One treatment can provide a noticeable fresh and polished appearance.
For ongoing concerns such as excess oil, congestion, enlarged pores or uneven texture, we generally recommend a course of treatments, with the exact number and frequency personalised to your skin.
Your practitioner will discuss this with you following your skin assessment.
Carbon Laser Facial Before an Event
The Carbon Laser Facial is a popular choice before an important occasion because it can leave the skin looking smoother, brighter and more refreshed without the recovery associated with more intensive resurfacing treatments.
For best results, we recommend having your treatment sufficiently in advance of an important event rather than immediately beforehand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Carbon Laser Facial painful?
Most clients describe the treatment as comfortable, although you may feel warmth or a light snapping sensation during the laser stage. Your practitioner will adjust the treatment according to your comfort and skin response.
Will I peel afterwards?
Significant peeling is not normally expected. You may experience temporary redness or sensitivity, but your practitioner will explain what to expect based on your individual treatment.
Can I wear makeup afterwards?
Your practitioner will advise you when it is appropriate to apply makeup following your treatment. If your skin is sensitive or red, allowing it to settle before applying makeup is preferable.
How often can I have a Carbon Laser Facial?
Treatment intervals depend on your skin and the concerns being treated. Your practitioner will recommend an appropriate schedule following your assessment.
Can it treat acne?
The treatment can be useful for skin prone to excess oil and congestion and may help improve the appearance of blemish-prone skin. However, active or severe acne may require a different treatment approach.
