What is a Carbon Laser Peel?
A Carbon Laser Peel is a laser facial that uses a topical carbon solution alongside controlled laser energy.
The carbon is applied across the skin, where it attracts surface oil, debris and accumulated skin cells. The laser is then passed over the treatment area, removing the carbon as part of a controlled exfoliation process.
Although commonly called a peel, it is a laser treatment rather than a traditional chemical peel.
What it helps

The treatment does not cure acne or other medical skin conditions. Active, persistent or severe acne may require assessment by a GP or dermatologist.

How it works
How does a Carbon Laser Peel work?
A specialist carbon solution is applied to clean skin and allowed to settle. The laser is then passed across the treatment area using settings selected for your skin.
The carbon absorbs the laser energy and is removed from the surface along with attached oil and debris. This creates a controlled cleansing and exfoliating effect.
A consultation and laser patch test are required before your first treatment. Your course and laser settings will be selected according to your skin type, response and concerns.
Our approach
Our personalised approach to skin rejuvenation
Not all facials and skin rejuvenation treatments work in the same way. Some focus on cleansing and exfoliation, while others use hydration, resurfacing, LED light, cooling or carefully selected electrical technology.
You may come to us interested in a particular facial, but another treatment could be better suited to your skin, sensitivity and the changes you would like to see.
At Skin Techniques, we assess your skin before recommending a treatment. We consider your current skincare, previous treatments, upcoming events and any sensitivity before creating your plan. If you are unsure what to book, we can begin with a skin analysis and recommend an appropriate facial for you.
Your questions
Carbon Laser Peel FAQs
Do I need a patch test before a Carbon Laser Peel?
Yes. A consultation and laser patch test are required before your first treatment. Treatment can only proceed if your skin response and medical history indicate that it is suitable.
How many Carbon Laser Peels will I need?
Skin Techniques generally recommends three to four appointments approximately four weeks apart. Your course may differ depending on your skin and response.
Is a Carbon Laser Peel painful?
Most clients describe warmth, tingling or a light flicking sensation. Sensitivity varies, and you should tell us immediately if the treatment becomes uncomfortable.
Is a Carbon Laser Peel the same as a chemical peel?
No. A Carbon Laser Peel uses a topical carbon solution and laser energy. A chemical peel uses an acidic solution to create controlled chemical exfoliation.
