What is Carbon Peel?
Cleansing and exfoliation are two of the important steps in a regular skin care routine. This is especially true for people with enlarged pores, blackheads and oily skin that, in turn, may lead to the growth of acne on the face and dull skin.
Carbon peel is a revolutionary procedure that targets all these skin-related problems by cleansing and exfoliating the skin. It is a type of laser procedure that helps give a refreshing, firmer, softer and smoother look to the skin by acting on the enlarged pores, dead skin and blackheads.
About The Treatment Carbon Peel Laser Skin Rejuvenation in Southampton
This advanced procedure works by targeting impurities and resurfacing the skin, leaving it clearer, smoother, and more refined. It helps to minimise pores, improve skin tone, and restore a firmer, more radiant look. In addition to its clarifying benefits, the treatment provides noticeable anti-ageing effects by softening fine lines and enhancing skin texture across the face, neck, chest, and hands.
Carbon has the ability to absorb oil and contaminants from deep within the pores. When the laser is passed over the treatment area it targets and destroys the carbon particles, taking any absorbed material with it
As the carbon is targeted by the laser, it blasts away dead skin cells, blackheads and effectively exfoliates the skin. The result is softer, more radiant skin. The heat produced by carbon peels has 2 additional benefits. It reduces the P.A bacteria responsible for acne, reduces pore size giving a more even skin tone.
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 tight and glowing.
Allowing for better management of pimples and outbreaks, and it also shrinks sebaceous glands (oil producing glands), resulting in less oil production, and therefore reducing congestion building up in the pores. Treatments can be performed on any part of the body, including the back and chest.
As with all skin treatments, carbon peels should be supplemented by a good skin-care routine, and daily use of a high-spectrum sunscreen. Noticeable results can be experienced after a single treatment, but for maximum long-term results we recommend regular treatments

The Carbon Rejuvenation Facial is a state-of-the-art treatment that deeply cleanses, refines, and rejuvenates the skin using advanced medical laser technology.
Cleansing & Preparation – The skin is gently cleansed to remove surface impurities.
Carbon Mask Application – A thin layer of specialist dermatological carbon paste is applied across the face, binding to oil, debris, and dead skin cells within the pores.
Laser Treatment – Using our 1320nm wavelength medical laser, high-intensity pulses of light are delivered to vaporise the carbon particles. This process removes impurities, shrinks pores, reduces oil secretion, clears blackheads and whiteheads, and stimulates collagen to soften fine lines and wrinkles.
LED Phototherapy – Every treatment is finished with our LED lamp, soothing the skin, accelerating healing, and enhancing your glow.
✨ We offer two treatment options:
Hollywood Facial – A full carbon laser treatment with 1320nm wavelength followed by LED therapy. This is perfect for clients wanting instant glow, pore reduction, and a refreshed complexion.
Red Carpet Facial – Our luxury enhanced version. After the 1320nm pass, an additional 755nm wavelength pass is performed for deeper rejuvenation and extra refinement, followed by LED therapy. This is the ultimate choice for clients wanting maximum results and a flawless, red-carpet-ready finish.

Carbon Laser Peel may not be suitable for everyone. You should avoid treatment if you have:
• Very sensitive or heat-reactive skin
• Active skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis in the treatment area
• Broken skin, wounds, or active infections
• Recent sunburn or excessive sun exposure
Despite using advanced laser energy to vaporise carbon particles, the Carbon Laser Facial is a safe, non-invasive, and virtually painless treatment. Most clients report only a mild tingling or light snapping sensation on the skin, with the sound of the laser being brief and completely harmless. This makes the procedure both comfortable and effective, delivering visible results without downtime.

To ensure the best results and minimise risk, please follow these guidelines:
Avoid direct sun exposure, sunbeds, and fake tan for at least 2 weeks before treatment.
Do not use active skincare (retinoids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, AHA/BHA exfoliants) for 5–7 days prior.
Refrain from waxing, plucking, or depilatory creams in the treatment area for at least 1 week.
Arrive to your appointment with clean skin – no makeup, creams, or perfume.
Inform your practitioner of any changes in medication, recent illnesses, or new skin conditions.
A patch test and consultation must be completed at least 48 hours before your first treatment.
Following your treatment, it is normal for the skin to appear slightly pink or feel warm. This usually subsides within 24–48 hours. Please follow these steps to support healing and maximise your results:
Avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise for 48 hours.
Do not use active skincare (retinoids, glycolic/salicylic acid, AHA/BHA exfoliants, or scrubs) for at least 5–7 days.
Keep the area clean and well moisturised using a gentle, fragrance-free cream.
Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, even on cloudy days, to protect against pigmentation.
Avoid picking, scratching, or exfoliating the treated area.
Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and aid recovery.
Mineral makeup can be applied the following day, though leaving the skin bare is preferable.
A cool compress may be used if any warmth or redness persists.
The Carbon Peel is an excellent option for clients with oily or congested skin, enlarged pores, blackheads, and uneven skin tone. It is also beneficial for those seeking a gentle anti-ageing boost, as it softens fine lines and promotes a clearer, smoother complexion. Because it is non-invasive and requires no downtime, it is a popular choice for individuals wanting visible results without aggressive treatments.
However, the Carbon Peel is not suitable for darker skin types (Fitzpatrick V–VI) or recently tanned skin, as these can increase the risk of pigmentation changes. A full consultation will always be carried out at Skintastic Aesthetics to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate for your skin.
