A "carbon facial" typically refers to a cosmetic treatment known as "carbon laser skin rejuvenation" or "carbon laser facial." This procedure involves the use of a special carbon lotion or mask applied to the face, followed by the use of a laser to treat the skin. Here's how it generally works:

• Carbon Application: A layer of carbon lotion or mask is applied to the patient's face. The carbon particles in the lotion have the ability to absorb oil and impurities from the skin's surface.
• Laser Treatment: After the carbon layer has dried, a laser is used to heat and vaporize the carbon particles. The laser energy is attracted to the black color of the carbon, which results in controlled damage to the upper layers of the skin.
• Skin Rejuvenation: As the laser energy is absorbed by the carbon particles, it helps to stimulate collagen production, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. It also helps to exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells and clear out clogged pores.
