Carbon Laser Facial in Campbellfield
A gentle brightening treatment with minimal to no expected downtime, popular before events and as part of an ongoing skin routine. Temporary redness or sensitivity can occur.
Why people come to a carbon facial
Maybe you've got an event coming up and want a genuine glow, not just a rushed cleanse. Maybe you're dealing with congestion, oiliness or dullness and want something you can build into a regular routine without planning your calendar around it. Either way, this is one of the gentlest treatments in our skin range, with minimal to no expected downtime. Some people notice temporary redness or sensitivity afterwards.
How it works
A layer of carbon is applied to the skin and drawn deep into the pores, then a laser is passed over the area. The laser targets the carbon, clearing it along with surface debris and oil from the skin’s surface.
What to expect during your session
Minimal to no expected downtime. Most people return to normal activity, makeup and skincare immediately after your session, which is exactly why it's a popular pre-event treatment. For an occasional glow, once every few months is common. For ongoing concerns like congestion or oiliness, many clients build it into a routine every 2 to 4 weeks.

- You want a treatment gentle enough to build into a regular monthly routine
