Overview
Carbon Laser Treatment — also known as the Hollywood Peel, China Doll Facial, or Carbon Laser Peel — is one of the most advanced skin pigmentation treatments available today. It is widely used for face pigmentation treatment, hyperpigmentation removal, melasma on the face, and laser treatment for dark spots.
This treatment combines liquid carbon with Q-switched laser technology to deeply clean pores, exfoliate the skin, and break down excess pigment. In just one session, it can noticeably remove dark spots on the face, brighten dull skin, and refine texture — making it one of the best laser treatments for pigmentation with minimal downtime.
A carbon laser peel is a gentle, non-surgical skin resurfacing technique suitable for all skin tones and most skin types. It is especially beneficial for people dealing with oily skin, acne, blackheads, uneven texture, pigmentation, and enlarged pores.
Unlike traditional chemical peels or abrasive treatments, this procedure does not use harsh chemicals or physical scrubbing. Instead, it relies on laser energy and carbon particles to purify the skin without irritation, making it a safer option even for sensitive skin types.

Carbon Laser Treatment Treatment Process
Step 1: A thin layer of liquid carbon is spread over the skin. The fine particles settle into pores and bind to oil, dirt, and dead skin cells.
Laser Activation: A specialized laser is passed over the treated area. The laser targets the carbon particles, heating and breaking them apart.
Exfoliation & Rejuvenation: As the carbon is destroyed, it takes trapped impurities and dead cells with it. At the same time, the heat encourages collagen production for firmer, healthier skin.
The full session usually lasts between 20 to 45 minutes depending on the area treated.

FAQs
Is carbon laser treatment safe for dark or sensitive skin?
Yes. Carbon laser is considered one of the safest hyperpigmentation treatments for dark skin because it targets pigment without damaging the surrounding tissue. Unlike harsh chemical peels, it does not bleach or thin the skin, making it suitable for brown and deeper skin tones when performed by a trained professional.
Can carbon laser remove dark spots permanently?
Carbon laser helps break down excess melanin and clear clogged pores, which significantly fades dark spots, acne marks, and melasma. While it offers long-lasting results, new pigmentation can still form due to sun exposure, hormones, or acne. Using sunscreen and proper skincare helps maintain results.
How many sessions are needed for pigmentation removal?
Most people need 3–6 sessions for visible improvement in face pigmentation, melasma, or acne marks. Lighter pigmentation may clear faster, while deeper or hormonal pigmentation usually needs more sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Is a carbon laser better than creams or home remedies?
Creams and pigmentation treatment at home can help mild discoloration, but deeper pigment sits below the skin surface. Carbon laser works at a deeper level, which is why dermatologists recommend it for stubborn dark spots, post-acne marks, and melasma when topical products stop working.
What is the recovery time after carbon laser treatment?
There is little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness or warmth for a few hours. Most people return to normal activities the same day, making it ideal for those who want visible skin improvement without taking time off.
