Carbon peeling is a procedure aimed at active cleansing and lifting the skin. The name suggests that Laser Carbon Peels in Abu Dhabi are performed using a carbon-based gel and a neodymium laser. The technique appeared not so long ago and came from Asia to the United States, and then spread worldwide. On Western resources, such peeling is called Hollywood peel due to the high popularity of the method in cosmetology clinics in Los Angeles. It is used to care for the face, neck, and hands.

Essence of the Procedure:

Before the procedure, a special carbon-based gel is applied to the skin. It has a characteristic grey-black color. After the gel dries a little on the surface of the skin, the neodymium laser comes into action. This is a laser with a wavelength of up to 1064 nm.

Under the action of laser radiation, carbon particles are destroyed into smaller particles. This effect leads to the fact that dead cells of the epidermis are exfoliated, the pores are cleansed, and the natural processes of cellular regeneration are stimulated due to thermal exposure.

Results:

Before we talk about the expected effect of the procedure, we note that the result of peeling is an individual matter. It all depends on the characteristics of the skin, genetics, and the number of sessions performed. To achieve the desired effect, cosmetologists often prescribe a course of carbon peels. Despite this, as a rule, the technique receives a good response and proves to be effective in the fight against acne and post-acne prevention of aging and the battle against the first signs of age-related changes.

Procedure:

Make-up removal and skin cleansing. The cosmetologist removes the remnants of makeup and cosmetics from the face and neck area and cleanses the face of sebum and street dust.
Treatment of the skin with an antiseptic solution or tonic. This is a significant point for the prevention of skin infection.
Putting on goggles. This is especially important when it comes to face spectra carbon peel. Glasses allow you to protect the client’s eyes from the glow of the laser beam.
Application of carbon gel. The beautician applies the carbon gel to the treated area using a brush. In this case, applying the gel in a thin, even layer is essential not to impede the treatment of the skin surface with a laser.
Drying the gel for 8-10 minutes. After the area is covered with gel, you must wait until the product dries completely.
Laser exposure. After that, the cosmetologist turns on the pre-configured laser and, step by step, without overlap, processes the skin’s surface with the laser, destroying the carbon gel.
After the procedure is completed, the skin is cleansed.
A soothing alginate mask is applied to the face.
