Carbon Peeling

Carbon peeling is an effective and minimally invasive laser treatment designed to reduce skin imperfections, clogged pores, acne scars, and signs of aging. Associate Professor Tuğba Falay Gür provides detailed explanations of how carbon peeling works, its benefits, and the treatment process to help patients achieve healthier and younger-looking skin.

What is Carbon Peeling?

Carbon peeling is a laser treatment that begins with the application of a special carbon mask to the skin. This mask absorbs impurities, excess oil, and dead skin cells. Laser light is then directed at the carbon mask, producing heat energy that targets and eliminates unwanted skin cells. This process stimulates skin renewal, leaving the skin cleaner and smoother.

Objectives and Goals

The primary aim of carbon peeling is to address various skin concerns, enhancing the skin’s health and appearance. The main goals include:

• Reducing Pigmentation: Minimizing the appearance of sunspots, melasma, and hyperpigmentation.
• Minimizing Pores: Shrinking and unclogging enlarged pores.
• Improving Acne Scars: Reducing the visibility of scars caused by acne.
• Enhancing Skin Tone and Texture: Correcting uneven skin tones and creating a smoother texture.
• Diminishing Signs of Aging: Reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
• Skin Tightening: Boosting collagen production for improved elasticity and firmness.

How Carbon Peeling Works

Carbon peeling is carried out in two main stages:

1. Application of Carbon Mask: A thin layer of carbon mask is applied to the skin, which absorbs impurities, excess oil, and dead skin cells.
2. Laser Treatment: Once the mask dries, a laser device is used to target the carbon particles. The laser energy heats and removes these particles, stimulating collagen production and skin renewal in the deeper layers of the skin.

Treatment Process

The carbon peeling procedure typically involves the following steps:

1. Evaluation: A specialist evaluates the patient’s skin type, existing concerns, and treatment requirements.
2. Preparation: The treatment area is cleansed, and local anesthesia may be applied if necessary.
3. Carbon Mask Application: A thin layer of carbon mask is applied to the skin and allowed to dry.
4. Laser Treatment: The laser device is directed at the carbon mask, with a mild warming or tingling sensation possible during the process.
5. Cooling and Comfort: Cooling systems are used during and after the treatment to protect the skin.
6. Post-Treatment Care: Special care recommendations, such as moisturizer use and sun protection, are provided to support skin recovery.

Benefits

The key benefits of carbon peeling include:

• Effective Results: Noticeable improvements in pigmentation, acne scars, and enlarged pores.
• Natural Appearance: Restores skin elasticity for a more youthful and natural look.

• Mild Discomfort: A slight burning sensation may occur during treatment.
