Carbon Facial Treatment Overview
Our patients usually describe the sensation as warm with a light snapping feeling well tolerated and not requiring anaesthetic. There is minimal downtime; mild redness may be present for a short period, but you can return to your normal routine shortly after treatment.
Skin looks immediately fresher and brighter, with progressive improvements in texture, clarity and pore size developing over the days and weeks that follow. For optimal results, a course of treatments may be recommended depending on your skin concerns.
Your treatment journey begins with a thorough consultation with one of our medically trained practitioners. During this assessment, we examine your skin type, sensitivity, concerns such as congestion or uneven tone, and your overall treatment objectives. This ensures the Carbon Facial is appropriate for your skin and that the treatment plan is tailored to achieve the best clinical outcome.
Once your skin is prepared and cleansed, a thin layer of medical-grade liquid carbon is applied. This carbon acts as a photo-enhancer, absorbing oil, impurities and dead skin cells. After allowing the carbon to settle, a specialised laser is passed over the skin. The laser energy targets and destroys the carbon particles, carrying away the debris they have bound to. This process simultaneously exfoliates, purifies and stimulates collagen production within the skin.
You will meet Dr Mattia to discuss your concerns, goals, and any previous aesthetic treatments. He will assess your facial structure, skin quality and proportions, then build a tailored plan that prioritises natural results. Photos may be taken for assessment and tracking.
Dr Mattia will decide which filler is appropriate for you, the area will be cleaned and numbing applied if needed. Dr Mattia uses premium fillers that contain lidocaine for added comfort.
Once the filler is placed, he gently moulds and shapes the area to refine the result. You will be shown the progress throughout so you feel confident and informed.
Dr Mattia combines cannula and needle techniques depending on the treatment area and level of precision required. Every placement is controlled and considered, focusing on depth, vector, and balance to ensure your result enhances the overall harmony of your face. The treatment itself is over relatively quickly.
Expect mild swelling or tenderness. Most patients return to normal activities straight away. Full settling usually takes around 1 to 2 weeks. You will receive clear aftercare instructions and can contact the clinic at any time should you have questions. A follow up can be arranged to ensure the result is settling perfectly, especially for more complex or structural treatments.
Our patients return to us year after year for natural, balanced results. Every review reflects our commitment to precision, safety and a personalised approach to aesthetic care.
I had two waxings and a biofacial today. Holly was excellent, knowledgeable, and impeccable in her attention. The products also felt really lovely – the hot wax was painless and the facial products felt luxurious. The whole experience was the best I’ve ever had. Will come back.
I go to Cannelle for facials, manicures and pedicures. They are professional, skilled, and attentive to my needs. It’s a lovely and relaxing environment. Mursal gives such wonderful treatments. She is very knowledgable about skin care and very gentle in the application of the products. I see her every 6 weeks for a facial and my skin has never looked better.

Explore our frequently asked questions from patients in oxford considering a Carbon Facial.
A Carbon Facial is a laser-assisted skin treatment in which a thin layer of liquid carbon is applied to the skin and then targeted with a specialised laser. The laser energy breaks down the carbon particles, removing oil, dead skin cells and impurities while stimulating collagen production. The result is clearer, brighter and more refined skin.
Most patients find the treatment very comfortable. You may feel a light snapping sensation or gentle warmth as the laser passes over the skin, but the procedure is generally well tolerated and does not require anaesthetic.
Carbon Facials are particularly effective for oily or congested skin, enlarged pores, uneven texture, dullness and mild acne. They can also help rebalance skin tone and improve overall skin clarity.
Downtime is minimal. Some mild redness may occur immediately after the procedure, but this typically settles quickly. Most patients resume their normal activities straight away, though we advise avoiding excessive heat, intense exercise and direct sun exposure for 24 hours.
You’ll notice an immediate improvement in skin brightness and smoothness after a single treatment. For more significant or longer-lasting results—especially for acne, congestion or larger pores—a course of 4–6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart is often recommended. Your clinician will advise the ideal plan based on your skin needs.
