Carbon Spectra Peel, also known as a “Hollywood Peel” or “Carbon Laser Facial,” is a cutting-edge, non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that has gained popularity in both cosmetic dermatology and aesthetic medicine. This treatment effectively addresses various skin concerns such as acne, pigmentation, fine lines, and enlarged pores, making it a versatile solution for patients seeking to improve the overall appearance and texture of their skin.
Carbon Spectra Peel is a laser treatment that utilizes a carbon-based lotion in conjunction with a Q-switched Nd:yag laser. The procedure involves applying a thin layer of carbon lotion to the skin, allowing it to penetrate the pores. Once the carbon has dried, the Nd
laser is passed over the skin, targeting the carbon particles. The laser energy causes the carbon to explode, exfoliating the skin and clearing out the pores while also stimulating collagen production.

Benefits of Carbon Spectra Peel
Carbon Spectra Peel is an advanced, versatile treatment that offers significant benefits for patients seeking skin rejuvenation. With its ability to address multiple skin concerns while being safe and non-invasive, it is an excellent addition to any dermatological or aesthetic practice. By understanding the technical aspects and patient care involved, skin doctors can effectively implement this procedure to provide exceptional results for their patients.
The carbon lotion binds to dirt, oil, and dead skin cells, which are then vaporized by the laser, resulting in a deep cleanse and exfoliation.
The procedure targets the bacteria responsible for acne, reducing active breakouts and preventing future ones.
Carbon Spectra Peel helps reduce pigmentation, sun spots, and fine lines, resulting in smoother and more even-toned skin.
By clearing out clogged pores and stimulating collagen, the treatment reduces the appearance of enlarged pores.

Preparation:
The patient's face is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup or impurities.
A carbon lotion is then applied evenly across the face, paying close attention to areas with more pronounced skin concerns.
Laser Treatment:
After the carbon lotion has dried (typically within 5-10 minutes), the Q-switched Nd
laser is used to target the carbon particles.
Laser Parameters: The laser is typically set to an energy level of 800-1200 mJ with a pulse duration of 5-10 ns, depending on the patient's skin type and the specific concerns being addressed.
Passes: Multiple passes are made over the face, focusing on areas with active acne, pigmentation, or larger pores.
Post-Treatment Care:
After the laser treatment, a soothing serum or mask is applied to calm the skin.
Patients are advised to use sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure for a few days post-treatment.
Treatment Duration
Session Time: The entire procedure typically takes around 30-45 minutes.
Treatment Frequency: For optimal results, a series of 4-6 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart is recommended.

The severity of your acne will dictate how aggressive the treatment will be. Treatment options for acne will range from topical and oral medications to laser therapy.
Topical Medications:
Retinoids
Benzoyl peroxide
Azelaic acid
Oral Medications:
Antibiotics (Tetracycline, Doxycycline, Minocycline)
Hormone (androgen) blockers (Spironolactone)
Isotretinoin (Accutane) – requires ongoing monitoring while on the medication
Procedures:
Cortisone injections – used for shrinking lesions and accelerating healing
Chemical peels – control acne by removing outermost layers of skin
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) – utilizes light therapy to kill bacteria and shrink oil glands
Laser treatments for acne – We offer a wide range of laser devices, as well the experience and expertise to customize your treatments for best results. Laser devices include:
Isolaz – combines wavelengths of light with suction to clean out pores and reduce acne-causing bacteria
Smoothbeam – targets the sebaceous glands with wavelengths of light to reduce oil production
Excel V – addresses skin redness that often accompanies acne breakouts
Nd:YAG – a Q-switched laser that also treats redness and inflammation common with active acne
Accure – a light-based therapy that targets overactive oil glands to reduce the frequency of breakouts.

How soon can patients see results?
Patients may notice an immediate improvement in skin texture and tone. However, the best results are usually observed after a series of treatments.
Younger patients may find that once they stop their acne treatment, the breakouts return. This is a more common issue with topical treatments and much less frequent in Accutane users. However, it is important to understand that since there is no cure for acne, you could experience symptoms even after stronger treatments are completed.
2
Is the procedure painful?
The Carbon Spectra Peel is generally well-tolerated by patients. Some may experience a mild tingling sensation during the laser application, but it is not typically painful.
3
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are minimal. Patients may experience slight redness immediately after the procedure, which typically subsides within a few hours.
4
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes, Carbon Spectra Peel can be combined with other treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, or fillers for enhanced results.
5
Who are the ideal candidates for this treatment?
The ideal candidates are individuals with oily skin, acne, enlarged pores, or pigmentation issues. However, it is suitable for all skin types.

Results can last several months, especially when combined with a good skincare regimen. Maintenance treatments every few months can prolong the effects.
