Carbon Peel

I start with a consultation and a quick skin assessment (concerns, sensitivities, medical history, downtime preferences, and your timeline). From there, I recommend the smallest effective plan—often a combination of professional treatments plus a simple home routine (especially daily SPF).

Please postpone if you’re unwell, have an active skin infection, open wounds in the treatment area, a fresh sunburn, or an uncontrolled flare of a skin condition. If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, some procedures and ingredients may not be recommended—tell me and I’ll suggest safer options.

Possibly, but your routine may need a short pause to protect your skin barrier and reduce irritation. If you’ve used isotretinoin (Accutane) recently, certain resurfacing procedures may be postponed. I’ll give you a simple pre- and post-care plan tailored to your current skincare and medications.

Some treatments give an immediate “fresh” glow (facials, carbon peel). Collagen-stimulating procedures (HIFU, RF microneedling, collagen stimulators) build gradually—typically over weeks to a few months. Your results depend on baseline skin condition, consistency (courses matter), and aftercare (sun protection is critical).

When performed by trained professionals, peels are generally safe—but the recovery depends on peel depth. Light peels can have mild redness and flaking for a few days. Medium/deeper peels may involve more noticeable peeling and longer recovery. Post-peel care and strict sun avoidance during healing are essential to reduce the risk of pigmentation issues and scarring.
