Carbon Laser Peel in Seoul, Korea

How a Carbon Laser Peel Works

  1. Carbon Mask Application
    A thin layer of medical-grade carbon is applied to the skin. This carbon penetrates the pores, binding to excess oil, dead skin, and impurities.
  2. Laser Activation
    A Q-switched or pico-based laser passes over the carbon layer, causing it to “snap” and vaporize. This process:
  • Removes carbon particles along with impurities
  • Cleans out clogged pores
  • Stimulates collagen
  • Targets pigmentation
  • Controls sebum production
  1. Skin Renewal
    The laser energy heats the dermis, encouraging collagen remodeling for smoother, tighter skin.
