What it supports
Goals worth discussing clearly.
- Oiliness
- Congestion
- Visible pores
- Dull or uneven-looking texture
A thin carbon layer is applied to the skin, where it binds to surface oil and debris. The laser then interacts with the carbon to create a controlled exfoliating effect.
Often called a Hollywood Peel, this is a branded-style name for a laser facial, not a promise of poreless or flawless skin. Settings and candidacy still require assessment.
