Next-Generation Care Method for Your Skin

Today, skincare technologies are rapidly developing and innovative treatment methods are emerging. Among these methods, Carbon Peeling, which has been increasing its popularity recently, offers an effective solution for deep cleansing and renewal of your skin. As Estepera Polyclinic, we have compiled everything you need to know about this modern treatment method for you.

What is Carbon Peeling?

Carbon Peeling is a modern laser treatment method applied for deep cleansing and renewal of the skin. In this procedure, a special solution containing activated carbon is applied to the skin, and then carbon particles are removed from the skin surface using laser technology. Activated carbon is a special substance obtained from coal heated at high temperatures and when applied to the skin, it attracts dirt, oil, and dead cells in the pores.

The Carbon Peeling procedure, unlike other peeling methods, creates both mechanical and thermal effects. While laser beams break down carbon particles, they also stimulate the lower layers of the skin, increasing collagen production. In this way, the skin is not only cleansed but also renewed and tightened.

What Does Carbon Peeling Do?

Carbon Peeling plays an effective role in solving many of your skin problems. Here are the main effect areas of this treatment method:

Deep Cleansing: Effectively cleanses dirt, sebum, and dead cells accumulated in the depths of pores
Skin Tone Equalization: Reduces color differences, sun spots, and pigmentation problems on the skin
Pore Tightening: Minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores
Acne Control: Reduces bacteria that cause acne formation and prevents new pimple formation
Oil Balance: Balances the skin’s sebum production, controls excessive oiliness
Anti-Aging Effect: Reduces fine lines and wrinkles by supporting collagen production
Skin Radiance: Gives the skin a natural glow and freshness

As Estepera Polyclinic, the Carbon Peeling treatments we apply are planned specifically for your skin’s needs and performed by our specialist physicians.

How is Carbon Peeling Procedure Performed?

The Carbon Peeling procedure is a systematic process that follows specific steps and is usually completed in 15-30 minutes:

Procedure Steps:

Skin Cleansing: First, your skin is cleansed from all makeup, dirt, and oil residues with special cleansers.
Carbon Solution Application: A black-colored solution containing activated carbon is applied to the face area as a thin layer. This solution penetrates deep into the pores and attracts dirt and oil.
Waiting Time: Approximately 10-15 minutes is waited for the carbon solution to be absorbed by the skin and settle into the pores.
Laser Application: After wearing special protective goggles, laser shots are performed at determined doses with a Q-switch Nd:YAG laser device. These beams break down carbon particles and ensure the removal of dirt in the pores.
Second Laser Pass: A second laser application can be performed to increase collagen production and provide tightening of the skin.
Final Care: After the procedure, the skin is cleansed and soothing and moisturizing products are applied.

Carbon Peeling procedures performed at Estepera Polyclinic are carried out in sterile conditions and with modern laser devices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1-Is Carbon Peeling Painful? Is Anesthesia Required?

The Carbon Peeling procedure is generally a painless treatment or one with minimal discomfort. During the procedure, a slight heat sensation and slight tingling may be felt on the skin, but these sensations are not at a disturbing level. Therefore, it does not require anesthesia or numbing. As Estepera Polyclinic, most of our patients state that they only feel a slight warming during the procedure. If your sensitivity is high, your doctor may recommend a soothing cream for you, but this is usually not needed.

2-How Long Do Carbon Peeling Results Last? How Many Sessions Are Required?

The permanence of Carbon Peeling results varies according to the person’s skin type, lifestyle, and care habits. Generally, a total of 4-6 sessions at intervals of 2-4 weeks are recommended for optimal results. Even after the first session, brightness and cleanliness on the skin can be noticed, but the full effect becomes apparent after 3-4 sessions. After the treatment is completed, the results can last an average of 6-12 months. To increase permanence, it is recommended to perform regular skin care, use sun protection, and have booster sessions 2-3 times a year. Our specialists at Estepera Polyclinic create a treatment plan specific to your skin’s needs.

3-Does Skin Peel After Carbon Peeling Procedure?

No, after the Carbon Peeling procedure, there is no noticeable peeling or flaking as seen in classic chemical peeling. This is one of the biggest advantages of Carbon Peeling. After the procedure, your skin may appear slightly pink and some people may experience very mild dryness or minimal peeling, but this is very rare and not noticeable. Therefore, you can immediately return to your social life after the procedure, there is no disruption in your work life. Your skin returns to normal within a few hours and you can apply makeup the next day. With Carbon Peeling applied at Estepera Polyclinic, the “downtime,” meaning social isolation period, is almost zero.

4-What is the Difference Between Carbon Peeling and Chemical Peeling?

There are important differences between Carbon Peeling and chemical peeling. In chemical peeling, the upper layer of the skin is peeled using chemical substances such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or TCA, and a recovery period of 1-2 weeks is required after the procedure. Flaking, redness, and sensitivity on the skin are quite noticeable. In Carbon Peeling, activated carbon and laser technology are used, there are no side effects other than minimal redness after the procedure, and normal life can be resumed immediately. Additionally, while chemical peeling may not be applicable on sensitive skins, Carbon Peeling is also suitable for sensitive skins and can be safely done in summer months. Our specialists at Estepera Polyclinic make a detailed evaluation to determine the most suitable peeling method for your skin.

5-When Can I Apply Makeup After Carbon Peeling?

After the Carbon Peeling procedure, you can generally start applying makeup the next day. The ideal is to let your skin breathe and allow the healing process for the first 24 hours after the procedure. It is recommended that you use only moisturizer and sunscreen on the first day. If you have a mandatory situation and need to apply makeup on the same day, you can use light, mineral-based makeup products 4-6 hours after the procedure. However, you should avoid heavy foundations that clog pores. As Estepera Polyclinic, we also inform our patients about suitable makeup products they can use after the procedure. The important thing is to keep your skin clean and pay attention to preventing pores from clogging.
