Carbon Mask

The carbon mask or carbon peeling is a unique treatment that effectively focuses on solution of problematic skin (e.g. acneic skin), gently removes wrinkles and enlarged pores, helps to stimulate collagen fibres to strengthen the skin, helps to reduce skin hyperpigmentation – freckles, pigment spots, melasma skin diseases, etc., in addition, it also acts preventively.

Carbon mask versus cosmetic peeling

A beautiful, unified and vital face also characterise the action of a carbon peeling or a carbon mask treatment. A classical cosmetic peeling also acts on smoothing and cleansing, but only on a surface when dead upper skin cells are removed. The laser carbon mask not only specialises on the surface, but mainly on the lower epidermis, deep sebum, including enlarged pores, but provides healing and regenerative effect as well.

Detailed information regarding the procedure

The carbon mask is a gentle day-care procedure with a noticeable effect on skin improvement. The carbon mask treatment uses laser beams from the premium device: Q-Switch ND: YAG Laser Pastelle. By combining two ultrashort pulses with lower energy and using the carbon cream as an accelerator to achieve enhanced skin effects, the subsequent warming and activation (splitting) of the carbon elements contained in the carbon cream results in the desired effect.

In the case where a carbon mask is targeted to skin affected by acne, the recommended application is approximately 3 times within a 14 day period; in the case of wrinkle reduction, at least 3-times with 3–4 weeks between treatments. The treatment takes about half an hour to an hour and is unrestricted, so the patient returns to their work and personal life without difficulty.

Procedure Benefits

The carbon mask rejuvenates and improves the skin condition of face, neck, or décolletage visibly. Thanks to the high-performance laser treatment with the certified (FDA) medical device: Q-Switch ND: YAG Pastelle, which provides high performance and ultrashort pulse and unlike other lasers it doesn’t cause damage to the surrounding tissue.

• Immediate visible effect
• Painless fast day-care surgery without the need for hospitalisation
• Unification, texture improvement and skin toning
• Depth regulation of redundant sebum production
• Removal of dead cells, reduction of enlarged pores
• Elimination of active bacterial lesions including prevention of further acne manifestation
• Synthesis of collagen and elastin for dermal renewal and regeneration
• Wrinkle reduction
• Reduction of skin hyperpigmentation
• Deep penetration into subcutaneous tissue for better skin cleansing

Course of Treatment

This is a day-care procedure without anaesthesia. The carbon mask is applied to face and is allowed to act there for approximately 20 minutes. The carbon particles contained in the mask penetrate deep into the skin pores using thermal laser energy, where the laser beams are absorbed and concentrated, thanks to the high power ultrashort pulses, they’re shattered in the epidermis, resulting in the stimulation of new collagen fibres, bacteria destruction and the removal of pores. After cleaning the carbon mask, a hydrogel sheet with hyaluronic acid is applied to the face for higher intensity. The procedure is painless and takes around half an hour. After the treatment, the patient simply returns to everyday life.
