Laser tattoo removal uses concentrated beams of light to break down the ink particles in your tattoo. These particles are then gradually cleared away by your body’s immune system over time. Different wavelengths of light are used to target different colors of ink effectively.
The level of discomfort varies from person to person and depends on the tattoo’s location, size, and the individual’s pain tolerance. Many describe the sensation as similar to being snapped with a rubber band.
The number of sessions required depends on several factors, including:
• Tattoo size
• Ink colors
• Depth and density of the ink
• Skin type
• Age of the tattoo
On average, most people need between 6 to 12 sessions spaced 8-10 weeks apart.
Most tattoos can be significantly lightened or completely removed, but certain colors—such as green, blue, and yellow—can be more challenging to erase. The success of removal also depends on the type of ink used and the skill of the tattoo artist.
Common side effects include:
• Redness
• Swelling
• Temporary darkening or lightening of the skin
• Minor blistering or scabbing
These effects typically resolve within a few days to weeks. Following aftercare instructions is key to minimizing risks.

A carbon gel facial is a two-step treatment that uses a layer of liquid carbon applied to the skin, followed by a specialized laser. The laser heats and vaporizes the carbon, removing impurities, dead skin cells, and oil while stimulating collagen production. This results in smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin.
Carbon gel facials offer multiple benefits, including:
• Deep cleansing of pores
• Removal of dead skin cells
• Reduction of acne and blackheads
• Improvement in skin tone and texture
• Stimulation of collagen production for anti-aging effects
• Reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation
• Control of excess oil production
Carbon gel facials are suitable for most skin types and are particularly effective for individuals with:
• Oily or acne-prone skin
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin tone
• Early signs of aging
• Dull or lackluster complexion
However, those with extremely sensitive skin or certain skin conditions (e.g., rosacea) should consult with a dermatologist beforehand.
No, carbon gel facials are virtually pain-free. Most patients report feeling a slight tingling or warmth during the procedure, but no significant discomfort. There’s no need for numbing creams or anesthesia.
A typical carbon gel facial session lasts about 30–45 minutes, making it an excellent option for a quick skin refresh during a lunch break.
Carbon gel facials are generally safe with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience temporary redness, mild tingling, or slight skin sensitivity immediately after the treatment. These effects typically subside within a few hours.
For optimal results, it’s recommended to start with 3–5 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. After that, maintenance treatments can be done every 6-8 weeks depending on your skin’s needs.
No, there’s no downtime with carbon gel facials. You can resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment. However, it’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions for best results.
Please refer to our pre care instructions.
Please refer to our post care instructions.
For optimal results and to ensure the safety of your skin, carbon facials should not be combined with other facials, chemical peels, or invasive skin treatments. Combining treatments can increase the risk of skin irritation, sensitivity, or adverse reactions, as the skin may already be in a sensitive state post-treatment.
We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks between a carbon facial and other procedures to allow your skin to fully recover and benefit from each treatment individually.
Most people notice immediate improvements in skin tone and texture after the first session. However, for long-term benefits such as collagen stimulation and acne reduction, multiple sessions may be required.

Yes, carbon gel facials are safe for all skin tones when performed by a trained professional. The treatment targets the carbon particles without damaging the surrounding skin.
