Activated carbon might just end up making you look like a bear, but you would be really living under a rock if you didn’t know the amazing benefits it offers. Carbon boasts of numerous beauty benefits for the skin by drawing out oil, dirt and other harmful substances from clogged pores due to its adsorption powers, reports The Indian Express.

No doubt, our skin is our best accessory and we need to take care of it with utmost caution.

The carbon laser peel, also known as the ‘China Doll Peel’ (named for its porcelain doll-like finish to the skin), is an innovative laser treatment that is completely painless with minimal-to-zero downtime and utilises the power of laser energy and the gentleness of carbon to treat skin imperfections. This advanced technique has garnered high popularity in recent years to deal with oily, acne-occluded skin.

It is highly beneficial for people with acne-issues, acne-marks, oily skin, blackheads, enlarged pores and dull skin. It is also an excellent way to exfoliate and pamper your skin. The peel provides an instantly refreshed appearance and leaves the skin feeling softer, smoother and firmer. There is also a visible reduction in acne marks.

How is a carbon peel facial done?

This facial treatment is a two-part process and for the second, a hoover is placed near you to suck up the carbon particles. A layer of liquid carbon is applied to the skin, penetrating deep into the pores.

Don’t freak out when it zaps a little loudly as the laser light moves over your face to attracts carbon particles. The laser destroys the carbon, taking away dead skin cells, grime, dirt and oil with it.

You will feel nothing more than a tingle or a little pinch. Don’t worry, your eyes are thankfully covered to protect from the laser so you can’t see what’s happening.

It cleanses, exfoliates and rejuvenates by taking away any dirt and dead skin. The carbon peels also target the deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, which in turn produces firmer, plumper skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles and leaves skin feeling tighter and glowing. Moreover, it reduces pore size to a larger extent.
