The side effects of a carbon laser facial, also known as a "China Doll Peel," are generally minimal.
Common Side Effects
Here's a breakdown of the potential side effects you might experience after a carbon facial treatment:
- Slight Redness: Your skin may appear slightly red immediately after the procedure. This redness is usually temporary and should subside within a few hours.
- Tingling Sensation: A mild tingling feeling is common post-treatment. This sensation is also temporary and usually fades quickly.
- Temporary Hair Removal: In the treated area, temporary hair removal might occur. This is not permanent and hair should grow back.
Less Common Side Effects
- Mild Breakout: Some individuals might experience a mild acne breakout in the week following the treatment. This is usually a temporary reaction as the skin purges itself.
