How Does Carbon Laser Facial Work?
The carbon laser facial is a multi-step process that combines carbon lotion and laser technology: Step 1: Carbon Application A specially formulated carbon lotion is applied to the skin acting as a photo enhancer to enhance the attraction of the light for more advanced results. The carbon penetrates deep into the pores. Step 2: Low-Energy Laser Pass The laser machine goes over the skin on a low-energy setting. This heats up the carbon, binding it to the epidermis and allowing it to absorb oil, dirt, and dead skin cells. Step 3: High-Energy Laser Treatment On a higher energy setting, the laser will be used to fragment the liquid carbon into tiny particles. This process destroys the carbon along with the impurities it has absorbed. Step 4: Smoke Evacuation A smoke evaporator attached to the laser will remove the carbon as well as the debris and impurities it contains. This process also stimulates collagen production, tightens pores, and evens out skin tone. Step 5: Hydration The skin is then cleansed and a hydrating moisturizer is applied to your skin after the treatment to soothe and protect the freshly treated skin.How to Prepare for Carbon Laser Facial in Nepal
- Choose a reputable clinic and attend a consultation. At Aakar Dermatology, Dr. Rajan Tajhya will assess your skin type and discuss your goals.
- Avoid sun exposure for at least 1-2 weeks before treatment. Tanned or sunburned skin should not be treated.
- Discontinue certain products like retinols, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid at least 3-5 days before your session. These can make your skin more sensitive.
- Arrive with clean skin — no makeup or heavy skincare products on the day of treatment.
- Post-Care of Carbon Laser Facial
- Treat your skin gently by using a moisturizer daily.
- It’s normal to see dryness for a few days — this is part of the natural exfoliation process.
- Use sunscreen daily — SPF 30 or higher is essential to protect your newly refreshed skin.
- Don’t use any products containing retinol for at least five days after treatment.
- Avoid direct sun exposure, saunas, and steam rooms for 24-48 hours.
- Keep your skin hydrated — drink plenty of water and use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.
How Long Do the Results Last?
Results will depend on your skin type and lifestyle. You may see changes after the first session, but best results usually take multiple sessions. For lasting effects, we suggest regular treatments about 4 to 6 sessions, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. After completing a full course, maintenance sessions every 2-3 months can help sustain your results.What to Expect After a Carbon Laser Facial Treatment
After your carbon laser facial, it’s normal for your skin to be a little red or puffy but don’t worry, it usually settles down in a few hours or a day. You might also notice some gentle peeling or flaking, which just means your skin is naturally renewing itself and making way for a fresh, healthy glow. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately — no downtime required!Who Is Carbon Laser Facial Best For?
