D2 - Carbon Facial treatment with the QS Nd:YAG laser
The carbon facial treatment was originally developed in South Korea in the early 2000s. It is now becoming more popular across Europe and America, and various other countries. More recently, this process has been applied to the backs of hands, and other areas of the skin, such as the décolletage.
It is claimed that this treatment will help to tighten pores and improve the texture and tone of the skin (whatever that means!!)
This is simply an 'exfoliation' process using laser energy to vaporise the carbon ink particles from the skin surface. There is a slight 'nipping' sensation, but it is not painful (if it is, you're doing it wrong!!)
Always use a thin layer of carbon ink on the face otherwise the process will take too long!
It's a very simple process and doesn't take too long. Simply apply a thin layer of carbon- based ink to the skin surface. It is very important to allow the ink to dry!! Zapping wet ink with the laser energy will take far too long!
Use the appropriate handpiece tip for this procedure. In many systems, this is a black attachment which screws onto the laser head.
