Carbon Facial (Laser Carbon Peel), Nottingham
Carbon Facial (Laser Carbon Peel) at Second Look Medical Group
Revitalise, Rejuvenate & Reveal Radiant Skin
If your skin feels dull, congested, or lacking radiance, our Carbon Facial is a quick, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that delivers smoother, firmer, more luminous skin with minimal downtime. Also known as a Hollywood Peel or Laser Carbon Peel, this advanced treatment combines a carbon-infused lotion with laser technology to deeply cleanse pores, gently exfoliate the skin, and stimulate collagen production for a refreshed, healthy complexion.
At Second Look Medical Group, every Carbon Facial is personalised to your skin’s needs, ensuring safe, visible, and consistent results.

Why Multiple Sessions are Beneficial
Many clients notice an immediate glow after their first treatment. However, the most noticeable and long-lasting results are achieved through a course of treatments.
A structured treatment plan helps to:
- improve skin texture and tone
- refine enlarged pores
- control excess oil production
- reduce congestion and breakouts
- stimulate collagen for firmer skin
Most clients benefit from 3–6 sessions, with results improving progressively after each treatment.
Treatment Timing & Experience
A Carbon Facial typically takes 30–45 minutes from start to finish, making it an ideal lunchtime treatment.
There is little to no downtime, and most clients return to normal activities immediately after.
During the treatment:
-
- A medical-grade carbon lotion is applied to the skin
- The carbon penetrates pores and binds to oil, debris, and dead skin cells
- A laser targets and vaporises the carbon, exfoliating the skin
- Heat from the laser stimulates collagen production for longer-term skin improvement
