Benefits of Carbon Laser Peel

Control sebum and oily skin

One of the biggest benefits of a carbon laser peel is that it can help to control sebum production. If you have excess sebum, it can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. A carbon laser peel can help to unclog your pores and reduce the amount of oil that your skin produces.

Carbon Laser Peel Versus Chemical Peels

Both carbon laser peels and chemical peels can both provide beautiful, glowing complexions. How you get these effects, however, differs significantly between these two regimens.

The heat produced by a carbon laser peel during a laser treatment can aid in skin rejuvenation. A chemical peel, on the other hand, enhances the skin’s look through a chemical reaction.

Both procedures are efficient, but those with sensitive skin should usually opt for a carbon laser peel because it is kinder on the skin than a chemical peel. Patients with eczema or other underlying skin disorders are also excellent candidates for laser carbon peels. In addition, unlike chemical peels, a laser carbon peel does not have any downtime.

Key Differences Between Carbon Laser Peel and Chemical Peel

Both carbon laser peels and chemical peels can provide similar results, but the methods to achieve results and the possible downtime of these two treatments differ.
