The Hollywood Carbon Facial is a multi-part process that takes around 30 minutes from start to finish. For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as a lunchtime peel.

Here’s what you can expect from a typical Hollywood Carbon Facial:

Your doctor will spread a layer of liquid carbon onto your face. The carbon absorbs oil, dirt, and dead skin cells from deep within the pores.
You’ll wait for about 10 minutes for the liquid carbon to dry.
After the carbon has dried, your doctor will give you eye shields to protect your eyes from the laser.
Your doctor will pass a laser, such as the Nd: YAG, over the skin on a low-energy setting. This heats up the carbon, binding it to the epidermis.
If you have very sensitive skin or dark patches like melasma, your doctor may recommend skipping the heating step. The laser also heats up subdermal tissue, boosting collagen and plumping up fine lines.
On a higher-energy setting, the laser will be used to fragment the liquid carbon into tiny particles.
A smoke evaporator attached to the laser will remove the carbon as well as the debris and impurities it contains.

Your doctor may also apply a hydrating moisturizer and sunscreen to your skin after treatment.

You should immediately see brighter, glowing skin and tighter pores.

If you have sensitive skin, you may experience a slight pinking or reddening of the skin. This usually lasts for one hour or less.
