What is Carbon Peeling?
Carbon Peeling is an innovative, non-invasive cosmetic procedure in which a thin layer of liquid carbon gel is applied to the skin. Subsequently, a special laser beam from the Lutronic picosecond laser is guided over the face, pulling the carbon gel into deeper layers of the skin. The laser reacts specifically with the carbon particles, effectively removing excess oil, dead skin cells, and impurities. At the same time, collagen production is stimulated, which visibly tightens the skin and gives it a fresh, youthful radiance.

- Even Skin Tone: Uneven pigmentation and scars are visibly lightened, resulting in a glowing and uniform complexion.
- Pain-Free and No Downtime: The procedure is mostly pain-free, requiring no extensive preparation or aftercare. Most patients can resume their usual activities immediately after the session.

The treatment process
A Carbon Peeling session usually takes around 60 minutes and is highly comfortable. After cleansing the skin, the carbon gel is evenly applied and allowed to sit for a short time. The gel is then treated with a specialized picosecond laser. The procedure is mostly pain-free and does not require anesthesia. Post-treatment, the skin may appear slightly red, but this typically fades quickly.

FAQs
Here we answer the most common questions about Carbon Peeling so you can be fully informed before deciding on this innovative skin treatment.
Carbon Peeling is a non-invasive, modern treatment in which a carbon gel is applied to the skin and then treated with a special laser. The laser interacts with the carbon particles, removing impurities, excess oil, and dead skin cells, while simultaneously stimulating collagen production and refining the skin’s appearance.
First, a layer of carbon gel is applied to the skin, which penetrates deep into the pores. The laser then targets the gel, creating heat that breaks down impurities and excess oil, while stimulating the skin from within. This process encourages cell renewal, tightening the skin and evening out the complexion.
No, Carbon Peeling is a virtually pain-free treatment. During the session, you may experience a slight tingling or warmth, but there is no strong pain or discomfort. Many patients find the treatment to be quite relaxing and comfortable.
The treatment typically lasts between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on the extent of the area being treated. It is a quick procedure that requires no downtime afterward. It can be combined with an acne cleansing treatment.
Carbon Peeling is particularly effective for:
- Acne and blemishes
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone or pigmentation
- Excessive oiliness
It is suitable for all skin types and offers a gentle method to improve the skin’s overall appearance.
For optimal results, we usually recommend 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart. The exact number of treatments depends on your skin’s condition and the results you want to achieve. Many patients notice visible improvement after just one session.
Carbon Peeling is a very safe treatment with minimal side effects. Immediately after the treatment, the skin may appear slightly red or warm, but this typically fades within a few hours. In rare cases, light swelling or small skin irritations may occur, which usually subside quickly.
Initial results are often visible after the first session. Your skin will appear clearer, fresher, and more radiant. For long-term results and sustained skin improvement, multiple treatments are needed. Over time, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even.
Yes, you can resume your usual activities right after the Carbon Peeling treatment. There is no downtime, and most patients can return to work or engage in other daily tasks immediately. However, it is advisable to avoid direct sun exposure and hot showers for a few days to protect the skin.
Yes, Carbon Peeling is suitable for almost all skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it is recommended that people with very sensitive skin or certain skin conditions (such as eczema, herpes simplex or psoriasis) consult with a skin expert beforehand to ensure this treatment is the right option for them.
After the treatment, it is important to care for your skin properly. Use a gentle moisturizer and a high SPF sunscreen (at least SPF 30) to protect your skin and maximize the results. For the first 24 hours, avoid intense heat sources like saunas or steam baths to allow your skin to recover.
The results of a Carbon Peeling treatment are long-lasting but not permanent. For continuous improvement of the skin, we recommend regular maintenance treatments every few months, depending on your skin type and condition.
