Skin Enhancements · Transform Your Skin Tone
Lightens dark spots and targets unwanted tattoos, acne, scars, and discoloration. A carbon-based lotion absorbs impurities, which the laser breaks down to promote skin renewal. Improves texture and tone for a refreshed, even complexion.
Overview
The Carbon Laser — sometimes called the 'Hollywood Peel' or carbon laser facial — is a two-part treatment that brightens, clears, and evens out the skin. A layer of medical-grade liquid carbon is applied first; as it settles it draws oil, dirt, and impurities up out of the pores. A laser then passes over the skin, instantly vaporising the carbon and the debris it has trapped along with it.
That same laser energy gently exfoliates the surface, breaks down excess pigment, and warms the deeper skin to stimulate collagen — so in one session you get a deep clean, a brightening effect, and a smoother, more refined texture. It's effective on the face and on areas prone to darkening such as the underarms, elbows, knees, and bikini line.
At SOI Clinic, the Carbon Laser is a favourite quick-glow treatment with no downtime, and it's also used to target unwanted tattoos, acne scarring, and uneven tone over a course of sessions.
The Science
Q-switched laser + carbon photothermolysis
The liquid carbon acts as a target that the laser is highly attracted to. When the carbon is applied, its fine particles settle into pores and bind to oil and dead skin. As the laser passes over, it's absorbed by the carbon and converts to heat, instantly vaporising the carbon and the trapped impurities — effectively exfoliating and deep-cleaning the skin at once. The same laser pulses are also absorbed by excess melanin, fragmenting pigment so it can fade, while the controlled heat encourages collagen renewal for smoother texture and tighter pores.
Step by Step
The skin is thoroughly cleansed to prepare the surface.
A layer of liquid carbon is applied and left to settle into the pores, binding to oil and debris.
The laser sweeps the skin, vaporising the carbon with a light snapping sensation and warmth — quick and well tolerated.
A calming serum and SPF finish the treatment. Skin looks brighter immediately with no downtime.
