Are you struggling with oily skin, blackheads, or acne? The excellent Carbon Laser Facial could be the solution you’ve been searching for.
The Dual-Action Power of the Carbon Laser Facial
The Carbon Laser Facial is a non-invasive, painless treatment that is brilliant for treating oily skin, blackheads, enlarged pores, dull skin, and acne – both facial and other areas, such as the back. The procedure is based on a two-stage process involving first the application of a liquefied carbon layer and then following on using a laser.
The Role of Activated Carbon
The Carbon Laser Facial begins with applying a layer of liquid carbon over the face. This carbon layer is not just a simple layer; it’s a meticulously designed solution that has the ability to penetrate deep into the pores of your skin. This is where the magic of activated carbon comes into play.
Activated carbon, also known as activated charcoal, is a form of carbon that has been processed to have small, low-volume pores. These pores create a vast surface area that is available for adsorption or chemical reactions. To put it into perspective, just one gram of activated carbon has a surface area of approximately 3,000 m2, equivalent to three football fields. This expansive surface area makes the activated carbon an ideal medium to adsorb impurities and contaminants that are present in the skin.
But how does it do this? The secret lies in the process of adsorption. Unlike absorption, where one substance is dissolved or filled by another, adsorption is a process where atoms, ions, or molecules from a substance (it could be gas, liquid, or dissolved solid) adhere to a surface. In this case, the activated carbon acts as the surface. The contaminants in your skin, such as oils and dirt, are attracted to the activated carbon and get trapped in its pores, effectively removing them from your skin.
The Power of Laser Technology
Once the carbon layer is in place, the procedure’s second stage involves a laser. But this is not just any laser; it’s a specialised laser designed to interact with carbon particles. The laser light is attracted to the carbon particles, and when it passes over the skin, it destroys the carbon particles on the skin’s surface along with any adsorbed material. This process removes the contaminants and exfoliates the skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing a fresher, more radiant layer of skin underneath.
The laser energy also penetrates deep into the dermis, stimulating skin cells, promoting collagen and elastin production, and encouraging the skin to regenerate and repair itself. The heat produced by the laser during the treatment also has a beneficial effect on reducing the acne’s bacteria that leads to acne breakouts and reduces sebum (oil) production, leading to less shiny skin.
The laser also targets pigmentation, including post-acne brown spots, freckles, and age spots, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin production.
The Result: Revitalised Skin
The Carbon Laser Facial results in a reduction in skin imperfections like enlarged pores, oil, and acne and an increase in skin tone and radiance. The skin feels firmer and smoother, with a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
The Carbon Laser Facial is a scientifically advanced skincare treatment that combines activated carbon’s adsorptive power and laser technology’s precision to cleanse, exfoliate, and rejuvenate the skin deeply.
