Detox. Brighten. Refine.
The Charcoal Peel, also known as the Carbon Laser Peel, is a gentle, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses activated charcoal and laser energy to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and purify the skin. Ideal for oily, acne-prone, or congested skin, this treatment targets dullness, large pores, and surface irregularities—leaving you instantly smoother and more radiant.
Why Get a Charcoal Peel at Any Age?
- Gently exfoliates without downtime
- Clears blackheads, whiteheads, and congestion
- Minimizes enlarged pores and reduces oil
- Brightens dull skin and evens out tone
- Smooths fine texture and softens scars
How Does a Charcoal Peel Work?
The treatment starts with a layer of activated carbon applied to the skin. The charcoal penetrates into the pores and binds with oil, dead skin, and impurities. A Q-switched laser (like our Curas laser) is then passed over the skin, heating and vaporizing the carbon—removing surface buildup and stimulating collagen.
The result: brighter, clearer, more refined skin with no peeling or downtime.
What Concerns Can a Charcoal Peel Treat?
- Oily and acne-prone skin
- Large or clogged pores
- Surface-level pigmentation or redness
- Dull skin tone
- Fine texture irregularities
Who Is It For?
This treatment is ideal for teens and adults with oily, congested, or breakout-prone skin. It’s also safe and effective for patients with skin types I–V, including melanin-rich complexions. Patients looking for a maintenance or event-prep glow will also benefit.
What Can I Expect During the Procedure?
After cleansing, a layer of medical-grade activated charcoal is applied and allowed to penetrate the pores. Then, the laser is passed over the skin to gently remove the carbon layer while heating the dermis to stimulate collagen. The session lasts 30–45 minutes and feels warm but not painful.
What Is Recovery Like?
There’s no downtime. You may experience slight redness for 1–2 hours post-treatment, but most patients leave glowing and resume daily activity immediately. Sunscreen is recommended for the first few days.
When Will I See Results and How Long Do They Last?
ø Results are visible immediately after the first session—skin looks smoother, brighter, and clearer
ø Best outcomes seen after 3–5 treatments spaced 2–3 weeks apart
ø Maintenance: Every 4–6 weeks for oily skin or monthly as part of a skin health plan
Who Performs the Procedure?
All Charcoal Peel treatments are performed by a trained aesthetician under the supervision of Dr. Sabeen Munib, ensuring both safety and medical-level precision.
