Laser Carbon Peel in London — The Hollywood Peel at BrowArt, Kensington

What is a Laser Carbon Peel?

The Laser Carbon Peel is a two-stage, non-invasive skin treatment that combines a liquid carbon mask with targeted laser energy to deeply cleanse pores, remove dead skin cells, reduce oiliness, and stimulate collagen production — all in one 60-minute appointment.

​

It earned the name "Hollywood Peel" because of its popularity among celebrities and TV presenters who need their skin to look camera-ready without any visible recovery time. The results are immediate, the treatment is comfortable, and there is absolutely no downtime afterwards.

​

How it works

The treatment has two stages:

Stage 1 — The carbon mask A thin layer of medical-grade liquid carbon is applied to your skin. The carbon penetrates deep into the pores, bonding with excess oil, dead skin cells, blackheads, and surface impurities.

Stage 2 — The laser A laser is passed over the skin in precise, controlled passes. The laser energy is absorbed by the carbon, which vaporises instantly — taking everything bonded to it with it. Dead skin, congestion, oil, and surface pigmentation are lifted away in moments.

The laser also delivers a gentle thermal effect to the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production for longer-term improvements in skin texture and firmness.

​

What does it treat?

The Laser Carbon Peel is suitable for all skin types and addresses a wide range of common skin concerns:

• Dull, tired-looking skin — the carbon layer removes the build-up of dead cells that makes skin look flat and uneven

• Enlarged or congested pores — the carbon draws out blackheads and impurities from deep within the pore

• Oily or acne-prone skin — the laser reduces sebaceous gland activity, meaning less oil production and fewer breakouts over time

• Uneven skin tone and mild pigmentation — the laser targets areas of surface discolouration for a more uniform complexion

• Fine lines and early signs of ageing — the thermal stimulation of collagen gradually improves skin thickness and elasticity

• Post-acne marks — helps fade the residual redness and discolouration left after spots have cleared

It is particularly popular as a pre-event treatment — many clients book it one to three days before a wedding, party, or occasion where they want their skin to look its absolute best.

​

What results can I expect?

After a single session you will notice:

• Brighter, more radiant skin immediately after treatment

• Visibly reduced pore size

• Smoother skin texture

• A natural, healthy glow that lasts

For longer-term improvements to skin quality, texture, and tone, a course of 4 to 6 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart is recommended. Many clients notice cumulative improvements with each session as collagen production builds over time.

​

What to expect during your appointment

Your appointment takes approximately 60 minutes from start to finish.

Daniela begins with a skin consultation to assess your skin type and discuss your goals. The carbon mask is then applied and left to dry for a few minutes before the laser treatment begins.

During the laser stage, you will feel a warm, tingling sensation as the carbon is vaporised. Most clients find it completely comfortable — there is no numbing cream required. Directly afterwards, your skin may appear slightly pink, similar to a mild flush, which subsides within a few hours.

You can return to work, apply makeup, and carry on with your day immediately after your appointment.

​

Is a Laser Carbon Peel right for me?

The Carbon Peel is suitable for most adults with any skin type, including sensitive skin. It is particularly well suited to those with:

• Oily or combination skin with visible pores

• Congested or acne-prone skin

• Dull complexion from environmental stress or busy lifestyle

• Mild sun damage or uneven skin tone

• Anyone wanting a visible improvement before an event

It is not recommended during pregnancy or for those with active inflammatory acne, very recent sunburn, or certain skin conditions. Daniela will assess your skin at the consultation and advise on whether the treatment is right for you.
