Charcoal laser treatment offers many benefits such as

• No pain
• Zero downtime
• Adds immediate glow
• Evens skin tone
• Removes dead skin cells

Carbon laser treatment utilizes Pico laser which is latest form of the conventional Q switched laser. The Pico means the duration between individual laser pulses is in picoseconds (one-trillionth of a second).

The wavelength used depends on the crystal present in the machine as the Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum garnet (Nd-YAG) crystal emits in 1064nm or the Alexandrite crystal which emits in 755nm.

• The liquid carbon applied on your face has activated charcoal within it.
• The activated charcoal has absorbent property due to the microscopic pores present in it.
• After the mask has dried up the laser light is used at low energy setting.
• The light from the laser has heat energy which after absorption by the charcoal particles binds to your skin.
• After bonding the activated charcoal absorbs the dirt, debris and excess oil from the surface and within your skin thus also removing dead skin cells and clearing blocked pores
• The heat energy also stimulates synthesis of collagen deep in your skin by doing selective thermal damage without damaging the other layers.
• Now as the energy setting of laser is kept at high
• As the higher energy laser light strikes the charcoal particles the particles start to break away and can be easily removed along with the impurities.
