Carbon Laser Peel in Seoul, Korea
How a Carbon Laser Peel Works
- 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. - 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
- Skin Renewal
The laser energy heats the dermis, encouraging collagen remodeling for smoother, tighter skin.
