If your skin feels congested, oily, dull, or just a little tired, the Carbon Laser Facial is the facial that does way more than give you a glow. You may have seen the black carbon mask and the laser flash online and wondered what is actually happening. We keep it simple: this treatment is designed to deep-clean pores, smooth texture, control excess oil, brighten dull skin, and stimulate collagen for a clearer, more refined complexion.
What it is
A Carbon Laser Facial is a non-ablative laser treatment where a medical-grade carbon solution is applied to the skin, grabs onto oil, dead skin cells, and impurities inside the pores, and is then targeted with laser energy to exfoliate, refresh, and support a clearer-looking complexion.
You may also see this called a Hollywood Peel, carbon peel, carbon laser peel, carbon facial, or laser facial. The names vary, but the idea is the same: carbon on the skin, laser energy over the carbon, and a cleaner, smoother-looking finish.
How it works
In a Carbon Laser Facial, a medical-grade carbon solution is applied to the skin, where it grabs onto oil, dead skin cells, and impurities deep within the pores. Laser energy is then passed over the skin, targeting the carbon while gently exfoliating and rejuvenating the complexion.
In general, the laser is drawn to the carbon, not to your skin — that is the whole idea behind the treatment. The carbon is usually left on for a few minutes before the laser pass begins, and the laser typically passes over the skin more than once. Typically, it clears out what is sitting in the pores and takes the dull top layer with it.
That is why this is more than a quick facial: it is working with carbon and laser energy at the pore level, while the treatment itself gives you that clean, smooth, brightened feeling people want right away.
What it helps with
If your skin feels like it needs a reset, let’s look at what is going on with your skin together.
Carbon Laser Facial can help improve the appearance of:
For acne-prone skin, it helps improve the appearance of oily, congested skin — the blackheads, the buildup and the oil behind them — and if you are breaking out right now, that is worth raising before you book.

Book
What happens
01
You can book the Carbon Laser Facial directly. A consultation is not required first, but if you are not sure what to choose, you can book a complimentary skin analysis instead.
Take the guesswork out of skincare. Let our experts guide you with a complimentary skin analysis. It is no cost and no pressure, just our passion for getting you results.
02
We apply the carbon, let it do its job on oil, dead skin cells, and impurities, then pass the laser over the skin to target the carbon and refresh the complexion.
You can expect minimal discomfort. Most people describe it as warm, with a light prickle as the laser passes.
We will talk you through what we are doing as we go, and you can ask questions at any point. The goal is for the appointment to feel clear, cared for, and never rushed.
03
Most people see a little redness afterwards and it typically settles the same day. The treatment typically does not leave anything to peel or scab, so there is nothing to wait out before getting on with the day.
The usual advice before laser work is to pause retinol and acid exfoliants for a couple of weeks, stay out of the sun beforehand, and arrive with clean skin and no makeup.

Candidates
This treatment can be a beautiful fit when your skin feels oily, congested, dull, uneven, or rougher than you want. It is also a good conversation if you are seeing visible pores, blackheads, buildup, early fine lines, or tired-looking skin that never quite looks fresh.
It can fit before an event, between more aggressive treatments, or as part of your regular skincare routine. If you are not sure whether your skin needs this, HydraFacial, a peel, or something else entirely, that is exactly what the skin analysis is for.
Treatments like this are typically not done during pregnancy or while breastfeeding: Pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you have taken oral acne medication recently, that is usually worth raising before you book. Coming in with a fresh tan or a sunburn typically means rescheduling, and some medications make skin more sensitive to light, so the usual advice is to mention anything you are taking.
Skin tone is part of the conversation for any laser treatment, and the usual advice is to have your skin looked at first: Laser and skin tone.
Results
On the day, think cleaner pores, smoother texture, and brighter-looking skin. That is the immediate payoff people are usually hoping for when they book.

Over time, the added collagen stimulation helps improve the look and feel of your skin. Typically, you see something the same day, and the texture change builds over the course. For congestion and breakouts, most people are looking at a couple of weeks rather than a couple of days.

We plan on a minimum of 3 treatments. Published protocols typically run about three to five sessions, roughly two to four weeks apart, with the clinic’s own plan set in your appointment.

Results typically fade, which is why most people treat this as something they come back for.
Because this can be perfect before an event, timing matters.
Add-ons
Want to level up your glow? The Carbon Laser Facial can pair with a Dermaplane or Microdermabrasion for an extra dose of exfoliation.
Removing additional dead skin and buildup helps the skin feel smoother, softer, and more polished. Think extra polish, extra softness, and that fresh-skin finish.
Dermaplaning and Microdermabrasion are both facial add-on options. Adding to a facial.

Why here
We like this treatment when you want skin that looks cleaner and brighter without planning around recovery. We can use it before an event or between more aggressive treatments because there is virtually no downtime.
We do not have to lock every Carbon Laser Facial into the same finish. We can add Dermaplane or Microdermabrasion at the appointment when extra exfoliation makes sense for your skin that day.
We treat this as a laser service, not a one-size-fits-all facial. We set the treatment for your skin, and we offer it at our Denver, Loveland and Denton clinics.
