Real reviews of the carbon peeling procedure
Carbon peeling is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. This is due to its relatively low cost and low trauma. Many clients leave positive reviews about this service.
Olga, 30 years old
I am a cosmetic "maniac" with 10 years of experience. I love all sorts of new beauty treatments, I often pamper my skin. I decided to try carbon facial peeling. However, it is difficult to call it "peeling". I would rather call it "thorough cleansing of pores." The procedure itself is carried out in two stages. A special gel is applied to the face, which is a mixture of petroleum jelly and carbon dioxide. Glasses are put on the eyes, and a laser is passed over the face. The latter allows the nanoparticles of the substance to penetrate deep into the skin. It didn't hurt me, it was just hot. It is believed that thermal exposure also has a positive effect on the condition of the skin, accelerates the regeneration processes. As a result of carbonic cleansing, even stale sebum comes out of the pores of the skin, comedones dissolve, and the facial relief is leveled. Immediately after the procedure, my skin turned pink, matte and smooth. A more pronounced effect can be felt after a couple of days. All comedones are gone, my face has evened out, the pores have narrowed. However, do not expect the result to last for a long time. This procedure is not therapeutic, but cosmetic, and therefore requires constant repetition if you want to keep the skin clean. In addition, you should not wait for rejuvenation or elimination of pigmentation. Carbon peeling is not intended for this.
Christina, 28 years old
I have been battling acne and skin inflammation for seven years. Finally I managed to beat my acne. But another problem arose - scars and scars from rashes. They didn't leave and looked terrible. I went to a beautician in the summer, but he said that chemical peeling is not the season to do, so he suggested carbon peeling. I read a lot of reviews about him, everyone praised him, and I made up my mind. They assigned me six treatments. After the first one, I was shocked, because my face began to look even worse: the pores became even wider, the redness intensified, and the skin itself was very greasy. In the evening, the face also began to bake strongly. The beautician assured me that after the next procedures this will not happen and the skin condition will only improve. After the next five sessions, there really was no more burning and redness. But I did not wait for improvement either. The pores remained enlarged, red spots appeared after exercise, pits remained after acne. Now I am waiting for autumn to go for a trichloroacetic peel and finally get rid of terrible scars and oily skin!
Ekaterina, 26 years old
I have quite problematic skin on my face, I regularly take care of it and carry out a combined cleansing. If this is not done, the pores become inflamed, clogged, and acne appears. Recently, my beautician suggested that I complete my facial cleansing with a carbon peel. The procedure is carried out with the application of black nanogel and light "bursts" of the laser. No discomfort, just a slight tingling sensation. The result is noticeable immediately after the procedure: my tone evens out, the skin becomes lighter. Since I have an oily skin type, light drying is what I need. Sometimes there is slight peeling in the area of the nasolabial folds. But in general, the skin is tightened, it becomes fresh. After a course of such combined cleansing, deep inflammation in the cheekbones disappeared. The black points, however, did not disappear, and the pores remained slightly enlarged. But overall, I am happy with this procedure.
