A carbon laser machine is not a machine itself, but rather the term often used to describe the equipment that performs a Carbon Laser Peel, also known as the Hollywood Peel. This treatment combines a carbon mask with a specific type of laser.
How It Works
The process involves the following steps:
- Application of Carbon Mask: A thin layer of medical-grade carbon is applied to the skin. This carbon penetrates deep into the pores.
- Laser Treatment: A Q-Switched YAG Laser is then used on the skin. The laser is attracted to the carbon, and when it passes over the skin, it heats and vaporizes the carbon, taking with it dead skin cells, impurities, and excess oil.
Key Components of the Treatment:
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Medical-Grade Carbon | Acts as a target for the laser and penetrates deep into pores, absorbing oils and impurities. |
| Q-Switched YAG Laser | A laser that targets the carbon, heats and vaporizes it, removing dead skin cells and stimulating collagen production. |
Benefits of Carbon Laser Peel
This treatment offers a variety of benefits, including:
- Exfoliation of the skin
- Reduction in pore size
- Improved skin tone
- Reduction of acne and blackheads
- Stimulation of collagen production
- Overall skin rejuvenation
The "Carbon Laser Machine" terminology, while commonly used, is actually a description of the process of using a Q-Switched YAG laser with carbon as a medium for treatment. The laser itself is the specific machine used in the procedure.
