A facial like no other
Looking to experience the ultimate in skincare? Say hello to carbon facials and goodbye to impurities, fine lines and uneven skin tone.
Accredited laser therapist, Tiana Burnham, from The New Law explains all you need to know.
What is a carbon facial?
“A carbon facial is an exfoliating treatment that combines carbon liquid and laser to help revitalise dull and lifeless skin.
The laser and carbon liquid work together to reduce pores, hyperpigmentation, acne and fine lines for an instantly radiant glow.”
Is a carbon facial suitable for me?
“Carbon facials are ideal as a single treatment for anyone looking to revitalise the skin or as a series of treatments prior to an upcoming event, such as a wedding.
They are suitable for all skin types and can be used on areas other than the face, such as the neck and chest.”
What do I need to do pre and post treatment?
“The great thing about a carbon facial is that it requires no preparation before the treatment and no downtime after.
Some people might have slight redness, but this usually subsides within a few hours and can be covered with light makeup.”
What happens during the treatment?
“We begin the facial by cleansing your skin and applying a carbon liquid. This dries in about 15 minutes and attaches to the dirt, dead skin and oils on your face.
When the laser is applied, it shatters the carbon, removing the buildup. This leaves your skin with an instant glow.
The treatment takes around 45 minutes.”
Will the treatment hurt?
“Carbon facials are pain free and non-invasive.
Some people may feel a flicking sensation and warmth when the laser is used.”
Is there a recommended ongoing treatment plan?
“One of the greatest benefits of a carbon facial is that you’ll notice skin improvement after just one treatment. For the best results, a course of 6-8 treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, is recommended.
After this, people can return every 3-6 months for a freshen up.”
