Carbon gel is a specialized, dark-colored topical solution used in conjunction with laser treatments (like Nd:YAG or Pico lasers) for skin rejuvenation, in a procedure known as a "carbon facial" or "Hollywood Peel". The activated carbon particles in the gel work as a photo-enhancer, absorbing impurities and concentrating the laser's energy for deep cleansing and exfoliation.
Key Benefits:
- Deep Cleansing & Detoxification: The nano-carbon particles penetrate deep into pores and act like a magnet, drawing out oil, dirt, toxins, and dead skin cells.
- Acne and Oil Control: The heat generated during the laser treatment destroys acne-causing bacteria and shrinks sebaceous (oil-producing) glands, helping to control excess oil production and reduce breakouts.
- Skin Rejuvenation: The laser's energy targeting the carbon stimulates collagen and elastin production in the deeper skin layers, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and tightens the skin.
- Even Skin Tone: It helps to reduce hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and age spots, leading to a brighter, more uniform complexion.
- Minimal Downtime: The procedure is non-invasive, painless (often described as a slight tingling sensation), and usually has no downtime, making it a popular "event" facial.
