The Carbon Laser Peel — sometimes called the Hollywood Peel or China Doll Facial — has been a red carpet staple for years. At American Laser Plus in Dearborn Heights, it's one of our most requested treatments for clients seeking deep cleansing and skin rejuvenation with absolutely no downtime.

How the Carbon Laser Peel Works

The treatment has two phases:

• Phase 1 — Carbon application: A thin layer of medical-grade liquid carbon is applied to your face. The carbon penetrates deep into pores, bonding to debris, oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria.
• Phase 2 — Laser pass: A Nd:YAG laser passes over the skin in two modes. The first pass heats the carbon and the underlying skin, stimulating collagen production. The second pass vaporizes the carbon — and everything bonded to it — ejecting it from the pores. The result is a deep cleanse, exfoliation, and collagen stimulation in one 30-minute session.

Results After One Session

• Visibly smaller pores
• Brighter, more even skin tone
• Reduced blackheads and skin congestion
• Smoother texture
• Reduced oiliness
• Improved skin clarity

With a series of 4–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, clients also experience progressive improvement in fine lines, acne scarring, and skin tone uniformity as collagen rebuilds over time.

Is Carbon Laser Peel Safe for Dark Skin?

Yes — with the right equipment and experienced hands, the Carbon Laser Peel is one of the most skin-tone-inclusive treatments available. The Nd:YAG laser used in this treatment was specifically developed for darker skin tones and is considered gold-standard for Fitzpatrick types IV–VI. Our technicians at American Laser Plus have extensive experience treating dark and olive complexions safely and effectively.

Who Is It Best For?

• Clients with oily or combination skin
• Women struggling with clogged pores and blackheads
• Anyone with dull, uneven skin tone
• Clients wanting a pre-event glow with zero downtime
• Women with mild acne or post-acne marks
• Anyone looking for skin rejuvenation without peeling or recovery time
