Treatment Overview
Carbon Laser Peel (also known as the Hollywood Peel) is a non-invasive Korean dermatology treatment that uses a liquid carbon solution applied to the skin, followed by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The carbon absorbs impurities, oil, and dead skin cells, and when the laser is applied, the carbon is vaporized, taking those impurities with it.
For uneven skin tone, Carbon Laser Peel helps by removing dull, pigmented surface cells, balancing oil production, and stimulating collagen remodeling. This results in a clearer, brighter, and more even complexion while also improving pore size and texture.
It belongs to the Skin Concerns: Uneven Skin Tone family (Aqua Peel, BB Glow, Toning Laser, Exosome Therapy, Rejuran Healer):
- Carbon Laser Peel: Best for pigmentation + tone balancing + glow.
- Aqua Peel: Best for cleansing + hydration + mild brightening.
- BB Glow: Best for semi-permanent coverage + instant glow.
- Toning Laser: Best for pigmentation and discoloration.
