What is Carbon Peel (Hollywood Peel)?

An in-clinic method that applies carbon lotion then uses laser to blast away sebum and carbon from within pores

Provides pore minimizing, oil removal, and brightening effects with virtually no downtime — often called the 'lunchtime peel.'

Overview & characteristics

Carbon peeling (also known as the Black Doll facial) is understood to work by applying a lotion containing fine carbon particles to the skin and then directing laser light so that it is absorbed by the carbon. The laser energy, combined with the carbon particles, is described as drawing out sebum and dead skin cells from within pores, while the light energy may also help to even out skin tone and refine skin texture. It tends to be particularly noted among those with oily skin and enlarged pores.

How to manage

Because downtime is minimal and return to daily activities is quick, it is often referred to as a 'lunchtime peel.' Repeat sessions spaced approximately 2–4 weeks apart are generally recommended. Temporary redness may occur after the session, so attention to moisturization and sun protection is advisable. If sebum production and breakouts are persistently severe, consulting a dermatologist is recommended.

Good to know alongside

In the context of pore and sebum management, it is often mentioned alongside LDM (Local Dynamic Micro-massage), aqua peeling, and toner or BHA-based skincare routines. It is sometimes compared to toning lasers used for brightening purposes.

Everyday care tips

On the day of the session, it is best to avoid exfoliation and harsh cleansing, focusing instead on gentle moisturizing care. Applying sunscreen diligently when going outdoors is also recommended.
