Benefits

  • Reduces fine lines; improves skin texture and tone
  • Clears pores to reduce blackheads and whiteheads
  • Helps acne, congestion and post-acne discolouration
  • Removes surface dead cells for a brighter finish
  • Stimulates collagen to refine pores and smoothness
  • Immediate glow; make-up sits better and lasts longer

How it works

Step 1 — Carbon mask application

A fine layer of liquid carbon is applied and left to bind with oil, debris and dead cells deep inside the pores.

Step 2 — Laser activation & gentle resurfacing

A precise laser passes over the carbon, vaporising it to lift impurities and polish the surface—prompting fresh collagen renewal for smoother, more even skin without harsh chemicals.
