What is the Lutronic Spectra™ Q-switched Laser?
The Lutronic Spectra™ Q-switched Laser is a technology widely used to address skin concerns.

Downtime Expectations For Laser Carbon Peel Treatment
The laser carbon peel is a popular non-invasive procedure that offers minimal downtime compared to more intensive treatments. Patients often return to their regular activities shortly after the session, but they should anticipate mild, short-lived effects.
Mild Redness and Sensitivity
After the treatment, the skin may appear slightly red and feel sensitive for a few hours. This effect resembles mild sunburn and typically fades within a day for most patients.
Temporary Tightness and Flaking
A sense of skin tightness is common, often accompanied by light flaking or peeling. These are signs of the skin rejuvenating itself and should subside within a week.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Proper aftercare following a laser carbon peel maximises the benefits and minimises potential side effects. Here are some key aftercare tips and maintenance strategies:
- Sun Protection
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and avoid direct sunlight as much as possible to protect the treated skin from UV damage. - Gentle Skin Care
Use mild, non-irritating skin care products to cleanse and moisturise the skin. Avoid harsh scrubs or exfoliating agents for at least a week after treatment. - Avoid Makeup
Avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to breathe and recover. - Hydration
Keep the skin well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a good moisturiser. - Follow-up Treatments
Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the skin condition and desired outcomes. - Monitoring Skin Changes
Pay attention to how your skin responds to the treatment and report any unusual changes.
