Summer Breakouts? Here’s Why the Carbon Peel is Your Clear Skin Hero

Beat the breakouts this summer at Aegis MD in St. Catharines.

Warm weather, sunshine, and vacation vibes sound like the recipe for a perfect summer, but for your skin? This isn’t always the case. If you’re suddenly noticing more breakouts, excess oil, or an overall dull complexion, you’re not alone. Summer breakouts are widespread, often caused by sweat, sunscreen buildup, humidity, and clogged pores.

There’s no need to panic if you’re in the Niagara Region. There’s a simple, effective solution called the Carbon Laser Peel at Aegis MD.

The Carbon Peel is one of our favourite treatments to help clients reclaim smooth, clear, radiant skin, especially during the summer months.

Why Does Summer Trigger Breakouts?

Hot, humid weather increases oil production and causes us to sweat more. Combine that with heavy sunscreens or makeup, and pores quickly get clogged, creating the perfect storm for blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammation. Even if you’re diligent with your skincare routine, summer can still throw your skin off balance.

How the Carbon Peel Works

This gentle laser treatment uses a layer of liquid carbon applied to your skin, which bonds to oil, bacteria, and impurities. A Q-switched laser then targets the carbon, vaporizing it along with everything it’s clinging to. The process unclogs pores, smooths texture, controls oil, and gives your skin an instant refresh.

But it doesn’t stop there — the laser also stimulates collagen production, helping to firm the skin and improve tone and texture over time.
