Preparation:
Before the procedure, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or debris. A thin layer of carbon-based lotion is then applied to the skin's surface and allowed to dry.
Application of Carbon Lotion:
The carbon-based lotion acts as a photoenhancer, absorbing laser energy and penetrating deep into the pores. It helps to target and treat various skin concerns, including acne, excess oil production, and uneven texture.
Laser Treatment:
Once the carbon lotion is applied and dried, a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is used to deliver short pulses of high-energy light to the skin. The laser energy is attracted to the carbon particles in the lotion, causing them to heat up and vaporize. This process helps to exfoliate the outermost layer of dead skin cells, unclog pores, and stimulate collagen production.
Heat Generation :
As the carbon particles absorb the laser energy, they generate heat within the skin, which helps to shrink oil glands, kill acne-causing bacteria, and stimulate collagen remodeling. The heat also promotes circulation, resulting in improved skin tone and texture.
Skin Rejuvenation:
The combination of exfoliation, pore cleansing, and collagen stimulation results in smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin. Carbon laser treatment can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and pigmentation irregularities, while also improving overall skin texture and clarity.
Recovery:
After the procedure, patients may experience mild redness, warmth, or swelling in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few hours. Some individuals may also notice slight peeling or flaking of the skin in the days following treatment. It's essential to follow post-procedure care instructions provided by your skincare provider, such as applying sunscreen and moisturizer, to protect and hydrate the skin as it heals.
