Carbon Laser Facial aka The Hollywood Facial In San Diego, CA

Carbon Laser Facial is an advanced skin treatment that combines specialized carbon lotion with laser technology to enhance skin appearance and texture. At Botoxie in San Diego, CA, this two-step process begins with applying a carbon-based lotion penetrating deep into the pores. When the laser passes over the carbon particles, it creates controlled thermal energy that removes 0dead skin cells, reduces oil production, and stimulates collagen production. This treatment effectively addresses various skin concerns, including enlarged pores, acne, uneven texture, oily skin, and dull complexion, while also working to reduce fine lines and pigmentation.

This gentle yet effective treatment suits most types of skin, but is particularly beneficial for those with oily skin, acne-prone skin, or those seeking overall skin rejuvenation. Results are visible immediately after the first Carbon Laser Facial in San Diego, CA, with skin appearing clearer and more radiant. While one session provides noticeable improvements, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart delivers optimal results. Regular maintenance sessions every three months help sustain the benefits. Contact Botoxie today to schedule your Carbon Laser Facial consultation.

How does it work?

The Carbon Laser Facial works through a targeted combination of carbon-based lotion and laser technology. A liquid carbon mask is applied to clean skin, penetrating pores and binding to dead skin cells and debris as it dries. A specialized laser then passes over the carbon-coated skin, creating controlled heat that vaporizes the carbon particles and the attached impurities. This process deeply cleanses pores while the laser’s thermal energy stimulates collagen production and skin cell renewal, improving immediate skin clarity and long-term health.
