Carbon Laser Facial
The 'Hollywood facial' for instant brightening, pore reduction and oil control.
What is Carbon Laser Facial?
The carbon laser facial — popularly known as the "Hollywood facial" or "China doll peel" — uses a layer of medical-grade carbon lotion combined with Q-switched Nd:YAG laser pulses to instantly exfoliate, brighten and refine the skin. It is one of the most popular pre-event treatments at Orange Skin Clinic, Tirunelveli, with no downtime.
Here is how it works: a thin layer of liquid carbon is applied to the face and allowed to settle into pores. The laser then targets the carbon, which absorbs the energy and is vaporised along with dead skin cells, blackheads, oil and superficial pigmentation. The same laser pass also delivers gentle thermal energy that stimulates collagen.
The benefits are felt immediately: smaller-looking pores, reduced surface oil, a brighter, more even tone, and a soft glow that lasts 2–3 weeks. With a course of 4–6 sessions every 3–4 weeks, results compound — long-term reduction in oiliness, fewer comedones, smoother texture and improved early acne scars.
The procedure takes 30 minutes, has no needles, no anaesthesia and no downtime. You can wear makeup the next morning. It is safe for Indian skin and most ethnicities, and pairs beautifully with chemical peels and at-home retinoid therapy.
