Activated Carbon Laser

Activated carbon is sometimes used in combination with laser treatments for the treatment of certain skin conditions. Laser treatment is known for its effectiveness in addressing various skin issues, including pigmentation, tattoos, and pigmented lesions. Here's how a laser treatment with activated carbon typically works:

Application of Activated Carbon

A mask based on activated carbon is applied to the area of the skin to be treated. Activated carbon absorbs laser light, allowing for more targeted treatment of pigmentation or tattoos.

Laser Treatment

Subsequently, the laser is used to emit pulses of intense light in fractions of a second. This light is selectively absorbed by pigment particles, such as tattoo pigments or melanin in pigmented spots.

Pigment Fragmentation

When the laser light is absorbed by the pigments, it generates heat, leading to the fragmentation of the pigments into smaller particles.

Natural Removal

The fragmented pigment particles are then naturally eliminated by the body over time, primarily through the lymphatic system.

Results

The final outcome depends on the type of skin condition being treated. For tattoos, for example, the laser can help break down tattoo pigments, allowing the body to gradually remove them and reduce the appearance of the tattoo. For pigmented spots, this treatment can help lighten or remove the spots.

It's important to note that laser treatments, regardless of the specific technique used, should be performed by a qualified aesthetic professional. These professionals can assess your skin, determine the appropriate treatment method, and ensure that the treatment is performed safely to achieve the best results. If you are considering a laser treatment for a specific skin issue, I recommend consulting with an aesthetic professional to discuss your specific needs and obtain detailed information about the treatment.
