Carbon Peel Facial in South Delhi | Q-Switched Nd:YAG Laser

At Skination Clinic, Carbon Peel treatment is performed after a dermatologist assessment to ensure that the procedure is appropriate for your skin type, active acne status and pigmentation tendency.

• The skin is cleansed and a thin layer of medical-grade carbon lotion is applied.
• The carbon is allowed to settle into superficial pores and areas of excess oil.
• A Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is passed over the skin to target the carbon particles.
• This process helps exfoliate superficial dead skin cells, oil and debris, improving the appearance of congestion, blackheads and dullness.
• The treatment is followed by calming skincare and sunscreen application.

Carbon Peel is generally a low-downtime procedure when performed with appropriate laser settings and after dermatologist assessment. Most people experience only mild warmth or a snapping sensation during treatment.

Temporary redness, mild dryness or sensitivity may occur for a short period after the procedure, especially in sensitive skin. Rarely, irritation or pigmentation changes can occur, which is why treatment settings and aftercare should be individualised.

This is safer and more professional than saying “there are no long-term side effects” or “zero downtime.”

After a Carbon Peel Facial, gentle skincare and strict sun protection help minimise irritation and support recovery.

• Use a gentle cleanser and moisturiser as advised.
• Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen regularly and avoid prolonged direct sun exposure.
• Avoid scrubs, exfoliating acids, retinoids and at-home peeling products for 3–5 days, or longer if advised.
• Avoid bleaching, waxing, aggressive facials and unnecessary heat exposure for a few days.
• If you develop persistent redness, burning, swelling or unexpected pigmentation changes, contact the clinic.
