Doctor-led care

Every treatment starts with a check of your skin type and medical history, under doctors’ protocols.

How it works

  1. Free consultation and skin assessment
  2. A personalised plan and a clear price
  3. A course of three to five sessions for best results

A carbon facial, often called the Hollywood facial, is a laser treatment that deep-cleans and brightens the skin. It is popular with people whose skin is oily, congested or dull. If you live in Kidwelly and want clearer, fresher-looking skin, we offer carbon facials at our clinic in Llanelli.

Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic is in the centre of Llanelli. We are a doctor-led clinic registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and we have been treating clients since 2016.

Every client starts with a free consultation. There’s no pressure and no sales pitch, just an honest view of what treatment can and can’t do for you.

What Is a Carbon Facial?

The carbon facial is a quick laser treatment that cleanses the pores deeply and polishes the surface of the skin. Kidwelly clients often book it when their skin feels oily, dull or congested.

The treatment improves texture and tone, clears blackheads and helps pores look smaller.

It suits all skin types, and is especially beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin. Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic is doctor-led and registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, with carbon facials from £60.

How a Carbon Facial Works

Illustration: a thin layer of carbon lotion is applied and settles into the pores. The laser light is absorbed by the carbon, which heats up and is lifted off the skin, taking oil, dead skin cells and debris with it, while the gentle heat stimulates collagen. The result is cleaner, brighter skin with pores that look smaller and tighter. © Cowell St Skin & Hair Clinic.

We apply a fine layer of liquid carbon, which sinks into the pores and attaches to oil, dirt and dead skin. Then a Q-switched laser passes over the skin, and the carbon absorbs its rapid pulses of light.

As the carbon is lifted away, it takes the surface debris and excess sebum with it. The laser’s warmth also encourages collagen, which helps refine texture and pores. You may feel a light tingling.

What Results to Expect

One session typically leaves skin brighter and smoother, while a course of three to five gives longer-lasting results.

The treatment works on the surface layer, so it improves tone, texture and fine lines but not deep lines or scars. Results differ between people, and tanned or fake-tanned skin can’t be treated.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

  • In and out: within the hour
  • Light tingling: easy to tolerate
  • Noticeable glow: after the first session
  • Lasting results: with a course of three to five
  • No time off: ideal for a lunch break
  • Honest assessment: we’ll check your skin is suitable first
