The treatment begins with thorough make-up removal and cleansing of the skin using specialised dermatological products. The skin must be completely free of oil, make-up and impurities so that the carbon mask can penetrate the pores as effectively as possible.
The dermatologist then applies a thin layer of carbon cream containing activated charcoal to the entire face or just to problem areas. The cream is left to dry for approximately 10–15 minutes; during this time, the activated charcoal penetrates deep into the pores and binds to impurities, excess sebum, toxins and dead skin cells. At the same time, the black carbon acts as a target for the laser beam.
Once the mask has dried, the laser treatment itself begins, using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The laser activates the carbon particles and shatters them along with the bound impurities.
This results in the mechanical cleansing of the pores. At the same time, the laser energy penetrates into deeper layers, where it stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. During the procedure, you may hear a slight crackling sound and feel a gentle warmth on your skin.
The entire procedure takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Once the laser treatment is complete, the dermatologist applies a moisturising or regenerating mask containing hyaluronic acid to soothe the skin. The final step is the application of a moisturising protective cream.
Immediately after the treatment, the skin looks radiant and clear, and the pores are visibly tightened. Over the following days, the effect intensifies as the production of new collagen is stimulated. For maximum results, we recommend a course of 3 treatments at intervals of 2–4 weeks, depending on the specific issue being addressed.
