Controlling Active Acne and Excess Oil

The first step is applying a medical-grade carbon lotion. This carbon suspension binds to oil, dead cells, and surface debris, acting as a photo-enhancer that the laser can target.

Next, we use a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser pulsed over the dried carbon. The carbon particles absorb the laser energy and vaporize, allowing for a precise exfoliation that doesn't harm the surrounding healthy skin tissue.

This process provides enhanced exfoliation and improves skin quality. The vaporization of carbon particles removes dead cells, cleanses pores, and improves the skin's surface uniformity, leaving it clearer and more polished.

The laser-carbon interaction also gently heats the sebaceous glands. This helps reduce excess oil production and minimizes acne formation over a series of sessions, providing long-term sebum regulation.

Here are five things you might not know about the Carbon Peel. It gives an instant glow, acts like a vacuum for your pores, reduces oil without drying the skin, gives a glass-skin effect before an event, and is safe for all skin types.

Our Lutronic Spectra XT is the world-class laser behind our effective treatments. We use it for a wide range of concerns, including inflammatory acne, enlarged pores, pigmentation, and the popular Hollywood Peel.

The Spectra Laser Peel is a fantastic way to get your skin glowing. It reduces pigmentation, evens out skin tone, and improves texture with minimal downtime, making it a great choice for a festive refresh.

We take a fun, educational approach to explaining skin science. This "Sebum Control Squad" concept illustrates how we use a strategic, multi-pronged approach to manage oil production, which is a key factor in acne.

Salicylic Acid is our "Demolition Expert." As a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), it is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate deep into pores to dissolve sebum and keratin plugs while reducing inflammation.
