Carbon Laser Facial Miami

There's virtually no recovery with a carbon laser facial because the laser does not. However, it's normal to experience some minor flaking, redness, and dryness for the first few days after the facial.

A carbon laser facial takes about half an hour to perform. You’ll immediately notice brighter, smoother skin that’s less oily. It should also feel softer.

You should stop using retinol and retinoids, and any other exfoliating agents for one week before the treatment. Also, avoid exfoliating the skin and using any harsh or abrasive products or ingredients to protect the skin barrier.

It's essential to take good care of your skin after a carbon laser peel with regular moisturizer and a gentle cleanser. In addition, wearing sunscreen every day is crucial in protecting your skin.

Oily and acne-prone skin types need to stick with gentle acne-reducing ingredients to mitigate breakouts without compromising the skin or making it dry and flaky.

You’ll also want to avoid using retinol and exfoliating acids for the first week since the skin is in a fragile state.

A carbon laser facial tackles issues like oily skin, enlarged pores, and minor signs of aging. However, it's not an ablative procedure, meaning it does not remove the outer layer of skin. On the other hand, a fractional laser is ablative and physically removes the skin and tackles sun damage and more moderate signs of aging.

Both treatments create new collagen and elastin within the skin to create healthier, younger, plumper skin. Carbon laser facials also have less downtime than fractional lasers.

The results of a carbon laser facial are dramatic but not long-lasting. However, the skin improvement benefits will last for a few months. Then, if the treatment needs to be repeated, it can be done every few weeks as needed.

However, some patients notice results after one treatment, but four to six facials in total may be recommended for optimal results.

A carbon laser facial is a painless treatment with no downtime or recovery time. However, some patients describe the facial as feeling somewhat similar to a finger prick.

Most patients need just one carbon laser facial to give their skin a refresh. But, if you have moderate to severe acne that’s typically unresponsive to treatments, or severe acne scarring, you will probably need a few treatments to see the full results. However, wrinkles and lines become less apparent after one to two treatments.
