As with any medical aesthetic procedure, Hollywood Carbon Peel Laser carries potential risks and side effects. Many reported side effects are temporary and resolve without further treatment, although individual responses vary.
Possible side effects may include:
- Temporary redness or warmth
- Mild skin sensitivity or dryness
- Temporary swelling
- Mild irritation
- Temporary peeling or flaking of the skin
Less commonly, changes in skin pigmentation or prolonged irritation may occur, particularly if aftercare instructions are not followed or where individual risk factors are present.
Hollywood Carbon Peel Laser may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have active skin infections, open wounds, certain skin conditions or are taking photosensitising medications may require alternative management or postponement of treatment.
Before treatment, your physician will discuss the expected benefits, potential risks, recovery expectations and aftercare instructions so you can make an informed decision. Suitability is determined following an individual consultation and assessment.
