Using laser carbon peels, you can improve the look of your skin in a fast and painless manner.
It's mostly used by people who have oily skin, acne, or enlarged pores. This treatment is also beneficial if you’re starting to see the effects of sun damage to your skin.
The Hollywood Carbon Peel is a revolutionary, non-invasive laser treatment designed to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and rejuvenate your skin. It is the ultimate “quick fix” for achieving a flawless, glowing complexion without the needles or recovery time of more aggressive procedures.
Why Is It Called the “Hollywood Peel”?
This treatment earned its famous nickname because it is the go-to secret of celebrities before they hit the Red Carpet. Because it delivers an instant “glow-up” with zero downtime, stars can get the procedure in the morning and look radiant under the camera lights that same evening. In the beauty industry, it’s also known as the China Doll Peel or Black Doll Laser Treatment.
The procedure relies on a powerful synergy between a medical-grade carbon lotion and advanced laser technology:
The Magnet Effect: We apply a thin layer of liquid carbon to the skin. This carbon acts as a “magnet,” penetrating deep into the pores and binding to oil, dead skin cells, and toxins.
The Laser Blast: As the laser passes over the skin, it is highly attracted to the black carbon particles. When the laser “hits” the carbon, it causes a micro-explosion, vaporizing the carbon along with all the impurities it has trapped.
Deep Rejuvenation: Beyond surface cleaning, the laser’s thermal energy penetrates the dermis, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin from within.
The Hollywood Carbon Peel is suitable for many skin types, but it is especially effective if you have:
Oily or Acne-Prone Skin: Helps control sebum and kill bacteria.
Enlarged Pores: Visibly shrinks and clears “clogged” pores.
Dull or Uneven Complexion: Perfect for an instant “Red Carpet” glow.
Fine Lines: A great preventative anti-aging treatment.
Step 1 – Cleansing and Skin Prep
We start with a professional cleansing to remove makeup, oil, and surface impurities. This ensures the carbon can penetrate your pores as deeply as possible.
Step 2 – Carbon Lotion Application
A thin layer of medical-grade liquid carbon is applied to your face. We let it sit for a few minutes to bond with the oil, dead skin cells, and toxins inside your pores.
Step 3 – Laser Treatment
As the laser passes over your skin, it vaporizes the carbon particles. You’ll hear a light snapping sound and feel a mild warming sensation. This step instantly clears the pores and stimulates collagen production.
Step 4 – Soothing Care and SPF
We remove any remaining carbon and apply a hydrating serum or cooling cream. To finish, we apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ to protect your fresh, glowing skin.
While very safe, we do not recommend this treatment if you have:
Active Skin Infections: Such as cold sores or open wounds in the treatment area.
Severe Skin Sensitivity: Or active eczema/psoriasis flares on the face.
Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: As a standard safety precaution for laser services.
Accutane Use: If you have taken Isotretinoin in the last 6 months.
Sunburn: Please wait until your skin has fully healed.
What You May Notice After One Session
The Hollywood Carbon Peel is famous for its “Instant Glow” effect. Immediately after your first 30-minute session, you can expect:
Skin is a living organ that changes with the seasons and stress. To keep your results “Hollywood-ready” year-round, we recommend a maintenance session every 1 to 3 months. This acts as a deep-clean “reset” for your pores and keeps your collagen levels high.
Recommended series (for acne/pores/oily skin): 4-6 sessions, every 2-4 weeks.
Acne & Excess Oil: It deep-cleans pores, may help reduce acne-causing bacteria, and may help control oil for a lasting matte finish.
Enlarged Pores & Texture: The laser instantly "vacuums" out blackheads and debris, making pores look smaller and skin feel baby-smooth.
Dullness & Fine Lines: By boosting collagen, it brightens your skin tone and softens minor sun damage or early wrinkles.

kills acne-causing bacteriaWhile a traditional manual facial is a great way to relax, the Hollywood Carbon Peel operates on a much deeper, medical level. Here is how they differ:
Technology vs. Manual Care: Unlike regular facials that use manual extractions and chemical scrubs, the Carbon Peel uses Photo-acoustic laser energy. This allows for a much deeper cleaning of the pores that hands simply cannot reach.
Cellular Level Rejuvenation: Regular facials focus on the skin’s surface (epidermis). The Carbon Peel uses heat to reach the dermal layers, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin for long-term anti-aging results.
Superior Acne & Oil Control: While a facial might temporarily clear your skin, the laser in a Carbon Peel may help reduce excess oil and support clearer-looking skin by targeting congestion deep in the pores. oil glands, providing a more lasting solution for oily or breakout-prone skin.
The “Red Carpet” Glow with Zero Downtime: Traditional chemical peels or intensive facials can sometimes leave the skin red or peeling for days. The Hollywood Carbon Peel leaves you with an instant, porcelain-like finish—you can apply makeup and return to your day immediately.

The Hollywood Carbon Peel is typically not painful and is comfortably tolerated by the vast majority of patients. It’s widely regarded as a gentle, non-invasive treatment that’s quick to perform (usually lasting 20–45 minutes). Most people experience only a mild warming sensation, subtle tingling, or a gentle snapping/prickling feeling while the laser targets and breaks down the carbon particles. No numbing cream or anesthesia is needed.
A Hollywood Carbon Peel session usually lasts 30 to 45 minutes. It’s a fast, non-invasive procedure commonly called a "lunchtime facial" due to its minimal downtime, meaning you can resume your regular activities right away without any recovery period.
A laser carbon peel provides multiple skin-enhancing benefits, including revitalized skin, diminished acne, and controlled oil production, resulting in a more balanced and refined complexion. The treatment works by using a carbon layer that, when activated by the laser, thoroughly cleanses pores, eliminates dead skin cells, and clears away impurities. Additionally, the laser’s heat stimulates collagen production in deeper skin layers, promoting a smoother, healthier appearance.
In New York, a laser carbon peel costs $150 per session. A package of three sessions often runs around $360, or about $120 per session.
For acne-prone skin, most people benefit from an initial series of 4 to 6 Hollywood Carbon Peel sessions, typically scheduled 2 to 4 weeks apart, to achieve the best possible improvement. The precise number of treatments can vary based on how severe your acne is and how your skin responds to the procedure.
During a laser carbon peel, a thin layer of liquid carbon is applied to the face, where it adheres to impurities like oil, dirt, and dead skin cells. A specialized laser is then used to heat and vaporize the carbon, gently exfoliating the skin while clearing out pores and boosting collagen growth. This process also targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces oil production by shrinking sebaceous glands, leaving the skin smoother, brighter, and with smaller pores.
Post-laser carbon peel care includes gently cleansing and hydrating the skin, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to protect results, and steering clear of harsh products like retinoids or exfoliants for roughly a week. Mild redness or a warm, sunburn-like sensation may occur briefly after the treatment. Small dark spots might appear but will naturally slough off within a few days—avoid picking at them to ensure proper healing.
A laser carbon peel is generally considered an effective and safe treatment for acne, oily skin, and enlarged pores, with studies showing significant improvement in acne lesions and skin texture. It also shows promise for reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and mild to moderate pigmentation. While a single treatment offers noticeable results, multiple sessions are often recommended for optimal, longer-lasting benefits.
A laser carbon peel generally has mild, short-lived side effects such as redness, dryness, or slight flaking of the skin. In some cases, you might experience minor swelling, a tingling sensation, small white bumps (milia), or temporary changes in skin pigmentation (either darkening or lightening). A brief acne flare-up is also possible. While serious complications like scarring or infection are uncommon, they can occur if the treatment isn’t done by a skilled professional.
