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 Port Talbot 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?

Sometimes called a carbon peel, a carbon facial uses a laser and a fine layer of carbon to deep-clean the pores and gently exfoliate the skin. Port Talbot clients often choose it to clear blackheads and congestion.

It helps refine skin texture, minimise the appearance of pores, clear blackheads and give a more even tone.

It works on every skin type, especially oily or congested skin. We’re doctor-led and registered with Healthcare Inspectorate Wales, and treatment starts 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.

A thin layer of liquid carbon is applied to the skin, where it settles into the pores and binds to oil, dirt and dead skin cells. A Q-switched laser is then passed over the skin, and its short, high-intensity pulses are absorbed by the carbon.

This lifts the carbon away, taking dead skin cells and excess oil with it. Gentle heat from the laser also stimulates collagen, helping to refine texture and tighten the look of pores. A slight tingling is normal.

What Results to Expect

Skin usually looks brighter and smoother after a single session, and a course of three to five gives the best, longest-lasting results.

Because it works on the skin’s surface, it can improve tone, texture and fine lines, but not deeper lines or scars. Everyone responds differently, and we can’t treat tanned skin.

What You Can Expect from Treatment

  • Quick treatment: under an hour
  • Gentle: a slight tingle or warmth
  • Results from session one: smoother, clearer-looking skin
  • Typical course: three to five treatments
  • Zero downtime: return to normal straight away
  • Clear advice: we’ll be honest about what it can achieve

Your Free Consultation

We’ll discuss your skin concerns, look closely at your skin and review your medical history.

By the end, you’ll know what a carbon facial can do for you, how many sessions to plan for and the cost.

To secure your appointment we take a £30 deposit. It comes off the price of your treatment, or we refund it in full if you decide not to go ahead. Please read our cancellation policy before you book.
