Carbon Facial - CC Peel

Carbon facials utilize SharpLight's Q-switch laser technology to send energy in rapid bursts towards the epidermis, removing both debris found in the pores and dead skin cells, deeply exfoliating the skin. To further aid in the procedure a carbon solution is applied to your face prior to the laser treatment.

With carbon facials you are likely to see some noticeable improvement after just one treatment as the skin exfoliation and pore unclogging will make most patients look clearer and brighter. The true long-lasting benefits will accumulate over time with each subsequent session in your treatment plan as your body produces more collagen and elastin in the area.

Upon completing each Carbon Facial treatment session at Essence Medical our staff will take you through a number of best practices to maximize the benefits of the procedure. Common aftercare involves keeping the area moisturized daily (using recommended moisturizers) to help with your body's collagen production, using sunscreen, and avoiding at home exfoliation for at least 1 week following treatment.

The staff at Essence Medical is proud to use the SharpLight OmniMax S3 & S4 for all laser based applications. Both the S3 & S4 are widely regarded as being among the best devices available on the market and the results speak for themselves.

The primary application for carbon peels is to assist with the treatment of skin impacted by acne, however it can also help with:

• Fine Lines & Wrinkles

• Signs of Aging

• Dark Spots

• Oily Skin

• Blackheads

• Uneven Skin Texture

• Dulled Complexion

All medical and cosmetic procedures come with a degree of risk. Side effects from carbon facials are rare and very minor with temporary reddening and dryness of the face being the most common. Our trained medical staff always does everything possible to minimize side effects and we are always happy to answer all questions and can direct you to more detailed procedure paperwork upon request.

For maximum effectiveness, patients are often recommended to book a series of carbon facial treatment sessions. The most common number of sessions recommended and booked is 4-6, all spaced out by at least 2 weeks to allow the skin to fully settle and recover between treatments. As part of your initial free consultation, our team will assess your condition and give you their suggestion on how many sessions will be required to obtain optimal results.

As part of your initial free consultation our team will ask you a number of questions related to health and medical history to help ensure carbon facial treatment is right for you. In general, it is not recommended for those who have an active infection, a viral, fungal or bacterial disease, open lacerations in the treatment area, or are pregnant or breastfeeding.

While it is a facial in both its name and target area, carbon facials are different than most typical facial treatments in that it utilizes laser technology in combination with the specially derived carbon solution -which is applied more traditionally. Our team will always guide you towards the best facial treatment for your specific condition and goals.
