The short answer

What is a carbon laser peel, and is it right for you?

A carbon laser peel (often called a "Hollywood peel") applies a thin carbon lotion that sinks into pores, then uses a Q-switched laser to heat and remove it. This exfoliates, reduces oiliness and tightens the look of pores.

At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, it suits oily, congested or dull skin before an event. Pricing is quoted at consultation.

Honest suitability

Who Carbon Laser Peel suits, and who it doesn't

We would rather tell you what you don't need. These are general guides; your doctor confirms suitability after examining you.

Often a good fit

  • Oily skin and blackheads
  • Enlarged-looking pores
  • Dull skin before an event
  • Mild acne-prone skin
  • People wanting no downtime

Probably not the first choice

  • Deep acne scars, where Potenza fits
  • Melasma, where pico toning is gentler
  • Active, inflamed acne cysts
  • Very sensitive or broken skin
  • Fresh tans
How it works

Carbon plus laser

Carbon mask: fine carbon particles settle into pores.

Laser: heats and lifts the carbon, exfoliating and clearing oil.

Collagen: mild heat gives a tighter feel. See blackhead removal and pore treatments.
