Carbon Laser Facial San Diego, CA
Carbon Laser Facial with PICO technology is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that effectively rejuvenates the skin’s appearance. This non-invasive treatment utilizes advanced laser technology to target various skin concerns, such as enlarged pores, acne, and uneven skin tone, while promoting collagen production for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
The first step of the treatment involves applying a thin layer of liquid carbon to the face. The carbon particles penetrate the pores, absorbing oil, dirt, and other impurities.
Laser Energy Application:
Once the carbon solution has dried, a PICO laser delivers short, powerful bursts of light to the skin. The carbon particles absorb the laser energy, heating up to gently exfoliate the skin’s surface.
Stimulating Collagen Production:
The PICO laser also stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production, which helps to improve skin texture and elasticity. This can give the skin a youthful appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Tightening Pores:
The heat generated by the laser reduces the appearance of enlarged pores and tightens the skin, resulting in smoother, more refined skin texture.
Reducing Acne and Pigmentation:
The Carbon Laser Facial with PICO technology can also help reduce acne breakouts and lighten hyperpigmentation, leaving the skin looking clearer and more even-toned.
Minimal Downtime:
There is no downtime associated with the Carbon Laser Facial with PICO technology. Some redness and mild peeling may occur following the treatment, but this typically subsides within a few days.
Long-lasting Results:
While a single treatment can provide noticeable improvements, a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart usually results in the best results. Maintaining the benefits and keeping the skin looking fresh and rejuvenated may require maintenance treatments.

Care Instructions
Pre-Care
- You must shave the hair of the body part to be treated.
- Do not wax, pluck, or use depilatories during your series of laser hair reduction
- Avoid sun exposure for 1 to 2 weeks prior to treatment and use SPF 30 daily to ensure coverage against UVB and UVA rays.
- Do not use self-tanning products for 1 to 2 weeks before and/or post-treatment.
- Discontinue use of Tretinoin type products (Renova, Retin A, Retin A Micro, Tri-Luma, Solage, etc.) or Hydroquinone at least 2 or 3 days prior to treatment.
- Many medications that are sun sensitive will also make you more sensitive to the laser. Please disclose any medications that you may be taking.
- If you have a history of cold sores, begin prophylactic treatment with Valtrex or similar no later than the day prior to your laser hair treatment.
- Notify the center if you develop a cold sore, acne, open lesions in the area being treated, or experience any illness prior to your treatment.
- Longevity of Botox® and fillers done any time within six months prior to face treatment may be affected. Botox® done within two weeks prior to treatment is not recommended.
- REMEMBER - Laser hair reduction is never 100%. Industry standard is a 75 to 90% reduction in the hairs. Not all hairs will be destroyed and hormones can cause hair to grow back.
Post-Care
- You may experience small red bumps around the hair follicle. This is normal and expected. Do not pick, rub or scratch these until they have cleared. Your skin overall may be sensitive for several days following your laser hair removal treatment.
- If your skin scabs or crusts, or you experience a burn, do not pick, rub or scratch these areas. Doing so can result in infection, permanent pigment changes in your skin, or even scarring. Gently cleanse the area and apply hydrocortisone cream several times a day for one week. If the area is open, apply a layer of antibiotic ointment over the hydrocortisone cream. Please contact us immediately if you experience any burns.
- Do not sunbathe or use a tanning bed for at least two weeks following your treatment. If you need to be out in the sun, wear an SPF 30 minimum.
- Avoid swimming, hot tubs, and saunas for several days following your treatment.
- It can take several weeks for the hair in the treated area to "fall out" (push up and out of the follicle). This time frame is normal.
- Do not expect your hair to "not grow back" after a single session. Laser hair removal is a process.
- Subsequent treatment sessions should be 6 to 8 weeks if done on the face and 8 to 12 weeks if done on the body.
- Although rare, infection in the treated area is possible. Signs of infection may include redness and tenderness in the infected area and fever. Should you develop an infection, antibiotics may be necessary. Please contact us should you have any concerns.
