Carbon Laser Peel in Ottawa: Brighten, Clarify, and Refresh Your Skin
If you’re looking for a powerful, non-invasive treatment that clears, smooths, and revitalizes the skin, the Carbon Laser Peel in Ottawa may be your perfect match. At Dermis Advanced Skin Care, this advanced laser facial delivers results with no downtime—making it a favourite for acne-prone, dull, or ageing skin.
The treatment combines the benefits of laser technology with the purifying power of carbon, working to deeply exfoliate and detoxify your skin. Whether you’re managing breakouts, large pores, or pigmentation, the carbon peel offers a high-performance solution in a serene, physician-led clinic environment.
How the Carbon Laser Peel Works
Two phases, one radiant result
This skin-refreshing treatment begins with the application of a medical-grade carbon lotion. Once the lotion settles into your skin, we pass a Q-switched laser across the treatment area to target the carbon particles. The laser energy interacts with the carbon, gently heating the skin’s deeper layers while exfoliating surface debris.
Here’s what happens during the treatment:
- Carbon lotion is applied to draw out impurities and excess oils
- Laser stimulation encourages collagen and elastin production
- Short pulse Q-switched laser breaks apart the carbon and removes it with impurities
- Deep exfoliation clears dead skin and unclogs pores for a smoother finish
The result is luminous, clear skin with visibly refined texture and tone.
What to Expect From Your Treatment
Comfortable, customized, and relaxing
Your journey with carbon laser peel in Ottawa begins with a consultation. During your assessment, we’ll evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and ensure a safe, personalized treatment plan.
On treatment day, we’ll:
- Cleanse the skin thoroughly
- Apply the carbon mask and let it absorb
- Perform multiple passes with the laser for even coverage
- Gently remove the carbon mask and exfoliated debris
The procedure is painless and often described as soothing—many of our clients even relax enough to nap during their session.
Targeted Skin Concerns We Treat
Clarity and confidence for every complexion
Carbon Laser Peel is ideal for a wide range of skin issues, including:
- Acne and bacne — targets bacteria, reduces inflammation, and clears clogged pores
- Pigmentation and uneven skin tone — smooths discolouration and promotes radiance
- Ageing skin — boosts collagen, firms texture, and reduces fine lines
- Enlarged pores — helps refine skin texture and minimize visible pores
You’ll notice fresher, more even skin after your first session—with results that build over time.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Tailored care for lasting results
Most clients see optimal results with 2 to 6 sessions spaced over 2 to 3 weeks. The number of treatments depends on the size of the area, skin condition, and your desired outcome.
We’ll develop a plan that fits your skin’s rhythm and supports sustainable improvement.
Aftercare and Recovery
Simple steps for glowing results
There’s no downtime after a Carbon Laser Peel, but gentle aftercare can maximize your results:
- Apply aloe vera to soothe any post-treatment redness
- Keep skin clean, dry, and protected for the first few hours
- Use mineral-based makeup instead of oil-based foundations
- Avoid direct sun and use SPF 50 sunscreen daily
- Refrain from touching or picking treated areas
Your skin may tingle slightly and appear pink right after treatment—this fades quickly, leaving behind a clearer, brighter complexion.
Carbon Peel vs. Chemical Peel
Choosing the right renewal for your skin
Both carbon and chemical peels exfoliate the skin, but they work in different ways:
- Carbon Laser Peel uses laser energy to heat and remove carbon particles along with debris and oils
- Chemical peels use acids to dissolve dead skin and encourage cellular turnover
Carbon peels offer faster recovery with less irritation, while chemical peels may be better for deeper resurfacing. During your consultation, we’ll guide you toward the ideal treatment—or even combine therapies for enhanced effect.
