🌟 Laser Carbon Facial Pre-Treatment Guide

Prepare your skin for clarity, radiance, and visible results.

🔬 What to Know Before Your Carbon Facial

The Laser Carbon Facial is a non-invasive, rejuvenating treatment that uses carbon cream and laser energy to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and refine the skin. It’s ideal for treating congestion, oily skin, enlarged pores, dull tone, and uneven texture. To maximise results and ensure safety, follow the pre-treatment steps below.

📅 1 Week Before Your Appointment

• Discontinue Active Skincare: Stop using retinol, prescription creams, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, and exfoliating or irritating products on the face, neck, and décolletage.
• Pause Harsh Treatments: No chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or abrasive facials in the week leading up to your appointment.
• Avoid Hair Removal That Disrupts the Skin Barrier: Do not wax, shave aggressively, or use depilatory creams on the treatment area. Gentle shaving is okay if needed.

🧴 3–5 Days Before Treatment

• Hydrate Your Skin: Drink plenty of water and apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser daily. Well-hydrated skin responds better and recovers faster.
• No Active Breakouts or Open Wounds: Reschedule your treatment if your skin becomes inflamed or compromised.

📍 On the Day of Your Treatment

• Clean Skin Only: Please arrive with clean, product-free skin (no makeup, moisturiser, SPF, or serums).
• No Caffeine or Alcohol: Avoid both on the day, as they may increase sensitivity or redness.
• Wear Comfortable Clothing: Especially if we are treating your neck or décolletage, wear a loose-fitting top to avoid irritation post-treatment.
• Let Us Know of Any Changes: Please inform us of any new medications, skin flare-ups, or health conditions.

⚠️ Important Notes

• Recent Injectables: Avoid Carbon Facial for 2 weeks before or after anti-wrinkle or filler injections.
• Active Acne or Compromised Barrier: This treatment may not be suitable during flare-ups. A consultation will help us determine timing.
• Sun Exposure: Although Carbon Facials are low-risk, avoid excessive sun exposure or sunburn leading up to your appointment.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Not recommended during pregnancy; please consult before booking while breastfeeding.

✨ Laser Carbon Facial Aftercare Guide

Soothe, rebalance, and prolong your glow with Pro-Age Skincare.

💫 What to Expect After Your Carbon Facial

Post-treatment, your skin may feel slightly warm, tight, or flushed for a few hours. This is completely normal and part of the gentle detoxification and renewal process. You may also notice minor flaking or dryness over the next few days as impurities are lifted and skin rebalances.

Support your skin barrier to heal deeply and glow fully.

🕊️ First 24–48 Hours: Soothe & Strengthen

Cleanse Gently: Use Calm+ Cleanser – a non-stripping, pH-balanced gel that supports your skin’s microbiome post-laser.

Hydrate & Cool: Mist with Calm+ Mist – enriched with rosewater, niacinamide, and aloe to calm redness and replenish hydration.

Repair with Recovery+ Serum: Our post-treatment hero! Recovery+ uses exosomes, stem cells, and ceramides to reduce inflammation, speed healing, and fortify your barrier. Apply morning and night, starting the evening after your treatment.

Moisturise for Comfort: Seal in hydration with Harmony+ Day Cream (AM) or Barrier+ Night Cream (PM) to keep skin supple and soothed.

☀️ Sun Protection Is Essential

• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks
• Apply SPF Daily and Reapply every 2 hours if outdoors
• Wear SPF-protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses

❌ Avoid These for 3–5 Days

• Retinoids (e.g. Renewal+)
• Active exfoliants (Glow+, Tone+, Refine+)
• Brightening actives (Inhibit+, Correct+)
• Scrubs, dermaplaning, or microdermabrasion
• Hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise
• Makeup for 24 hours (mineral only if needed)
• Picking or rubbing shedding pigment

🧖‍♀️ Optional Recovery Boosters

Use 1–2x in the first week post-IPL:

• Collagen+ Dream Mask – ultra-nourishing cream mask with marine collagen, shea butter & jojoba oil
• Relief+ Oatmeal Mask – calming post-treatment mask for inflamed, compromised skin
• HydraFirm+ Sheet Mask – peptides + hyaluronic acid for instant plumping and soothing

⚠️ Contraindications for Laser Carbon Facial

Your safety comes first.

• Have a history of keloid scarring or poor wound healing
• Have a known sensitivity to light or are taking photosensitising medications
• Have epilepsy or seizure disorders triggered by light

Please inform us if you:

No. You’ll feel a warm tingling or mild snapping sensation as the laser passes over the skin. It’s comfortable, quick, and requires no numbing.

Minimal to none. You may experience slight redness or tightness post-treatment, but this usually resolves within a few hours. You can resume most normal activities straight away.

Your full Pro-Age Carbon Facial takes up to 60 minutes, as it includes:

• Full face, neck, and décolletage
• Targeted laser treatment
• A finishing mask to calm and hydrate
• A blissful scalp massage to complete your ritual

Minimal. You may experience mild redness or tightness for a few hours post-treatment, but most clients return to their day with a refreshed glow.

You'll notice an instant brightness after one session, but for longer-term benefits like reduced pigmentation or acne, a series of 4–6 treatments, spaced 2–4 weeks apart, is recommended.

This treatment is ideal for:

• Oily or acne-prone skin
• Enlarged or congested pores
• Uneven or dull skin tone
• Rough texture

Suitable for most skin types, but we recommend a skin consultation first for best results.

Absolutely! The Laser Carbon Facial pairs well with LED light therapy, hydration masks, and your Pro-Age skincare ritual for enhanced, longer-lasting results.
