“Sensational Carbon Laser Peel” (a.k.a. “VIP Hollywood Peel”)
Sensational Carbon Laser Peel
Sensational Carbon Laser Peel or the VIP Hollywood Peel is a revolutionary, non-invasive procedure that involves no pain or downtime, but it can help rejuvenate the appearance of aging and damaged skin. It gently removes 15 to 30 nm of epithelium from the top layer of the skin, leaving an amazing glow with a vibrant, youthful complexion.
The Sensational Carbon Peel here at Alpha Medical Aesthetics in Las Vegas is our souped-up version of the classic “Laser Carbon Peel”. It trumps any other peels such as the chemical peels, facials, dermaplaning, and microdermabrasion. Our “Sensational Carbon Peel” at Alpha Medical Aesthetics in Las Vegas is a real hidden gem that can answer all the basic skin care problems facing young and old, girls and boys, and ladies and gents.
During the Sensational Carbon Peel, we utilize several intuitive but brilliant steps to actually draw out the dead skin cells & the impurities, unplug pores, and remove the excess unwanted oil from the pores & the hyperactive sebaceous glands. This painless process ends up leaving a clean, glowing, and white radiant skin.
How Does Sensational Carbon Peel Work?
We first treat the skin with a tripolar radiofrequency deep heat by Lumenis, in order to open up the pores and loosen up the epidermis. At the same time, the tripolar radio frequency energy stimulates the dermal fibroblasts, stimulating strong collagen neogenesis.
Then, after thorough cleansing the face, we apply a layer of organic, vegetable sourced, activated carbon (charcoal) mask to the face (or body), allowing it to penetrate deep into the freshly invigorated pores and let it dry out nicely. The carbon bonds with any organic debris that might be present, like dead skin cells, contaminants, and oil. At the same time, the carbon penetrates deep into the dermal glands that include the hypertrophic sebaceous glands, hair follicles, apocrine glands, and sweat glands.
At this time, we allow 15 to 30 minutes for the carbon mask to dry out so that it gets a chance to precipitate all the organic material onto its porous surface. We then use a low energy powered Nd:YAG laser (by Lumenis) to gently heat up the activated carbon just enough to promote further binding of the carbon with the epidermis and all other organic debris.
We’ll then pass a Q-switched Nd-YAG laser (also by Lumenis) across the surface of the skin. Because the laser light is super attracted to carbon particles, its energy and heat is absorbed by the carbon mask leading to the destruction of the particles in the pores.
Light from the laser is attracted to carbon, as its chromophore. Carbon absorbs the intense light energy. The Q-Switch laser uses photo-acoustic energy to cause a reaction that lead to mini explosions. As the laser explodes and evaporates the carbon mask, it also has a gentle but tangible resurfacing and exfoliating effect on the skin of the face. Furthermore, the explosion pushes the energy, in the form of heat, deep into the layers of the skin where collagen and elastin are activated, and cells begin a new genesis. Meanwhile, on the surface of the skin, as the explosions occur, the carbon is vaporized, taking away with it all the absorbed debris, oil, and dead skin cells. The fascinating experience for patients on the table is that even though the mini explosions may sound pretty dramatic, there is no pain involved. Well, that is partly because the laser is targeting the carbon mask and not the skin. This is in complete contrast to chemical peels, that have to destroy the top portion of the skin in order to remove the unwanted excess.
What can I expect during Sensational Carbon Peel treatment?
The mechanics of how this works is quite interesting. Carbon mask turns into a super activated charcoal once heated by the Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. Activated Charcoal is highly porous at cellular levels. It can draw out organic impurities by electrostatic forces that make them clump up on its large surface area. In simple terms, activated carbon acts like a sponge and sucks out all the organic impurities. Interestingly, activated charcoal has a more useful surface area per gram than any other material available for physical adsorption. In fact, a teaspoon of activated carbon has more surface area than a football field.Here at Alpha Medical Aesthetics in Las Vegas, we believe so much in this Sensational Carbon Peel that we believe it should be a transformative part of everyone’s skincare treatment regimen.
