A thin layer of carbon paste is applied to the skin, where it absorbs oil and debris from the pores. A Q-switched laser then passes over the skin to remove the carbon, gently exfoliating the surface.
Good to know
How it works
The carbon absorbs the laser energy, so the treatment targets the surface of the skin and the pores. It is sometimes called a "Hollywood" or "black doll" facial.
