That Hollywood Glow in Just 30 Minutes

What Happens During a Carbon Peel at Aegis MD in St. Catharines

There’s something undeniably magical about that fresh, dewy glow — the kind that looks effortless but always leaves people wondering what your secret is. At Aegis MD medical aesthetics clinic in Niagara, one of the most popular ways to achieve this glow (with no downtime or discomfort) is the Carbon Laser Peel, often referred to as the “Hollywood Facial.”

It’s quick, gentle, and leaves your skin looking luminous and smooth, perfect for before a big event or simply as a treat to yourself.

What is a Carbon Peel?

It’s not a traditional chemical peel — no harsh acids, no peeling days afterward. Instead, we use a carbon-based lotion and a specialized laser to purify, brighten, and boost your skin in just one session.

The Carbon Peel at Aegis MD in St. Catharines is especially popular among individuals who struggle with oily skin, clogged pores, or a dull complexion. It’s also a lovely choice for early signs of aging — softening fine lines and smoothing skin tone without irritation.

What Happens During Your Treatment?

First, a soft carbon lotion is applied to your face. As it dries, it gently binds to oils, debris, and toxins in the skin.

Next, a laser is passed over the skin by one of our laser technicians. You can trust that our technicians have extensive experience and training to provide safe and effective laser treatments. The warmth activates the carbon and helps it reach deeper layers of the skin. Then, in the final step, a light laser pulse gently removes the carbon, along with everything it carried away.

There’s no pain, and most patients describe the feeling as a warm, mild tingle. The whole process takes around 30 minutes.

What Can Carbon Laser Peel Help With?

This gentle-yet-effective treatment is ideal for:
  • Calming active breakouts
  • Reducing shine and oiliness
  • Smoothing uneven texture
  • Brightening skin tone
  • Minimizing the look of pores
  • Softening fine lines
After just one session, your skin feels smoother, fresher, and more radiant.

Is there downtime?

With carbon laser peel, there is virtually no downtime. You may experience a light flush to the skin immediately afterward, but it typically fades quickly. You can apply sunscreen and makeup on the same day, though most of our patients prefer to go bare-faced to show off that fresh glow.
