The carbon peel, also known as the Hollywood peel, combines a layer of activated carbon on the skin with the action of laser to work on the radiance and texture of the face. It is offered as a facial aesthetic treatment in sessions, designed for dull, oily or uneven skin, or skin with visible pores, that is looking for a fresher, more even appearance. It can suit anyone wanting a one-off freshen-up or a planned course of care. Results vary from person to person and do not replace a consistent skincare routine, so the protocol and the number of sessions are defined at a prior assessment where we review your skin type. At Nova Center (Les Corts, Barcelona) it is performed in-cabin with aftercare guidance.

What this page helps you decide
A carbon peel can fit when you are after a radiance effect and a more even-looking complexion, especially on oily or uneven-textured skin. It is delivered in sessions rather than as a single treatment. If your goal is a more structured skin renewal, a chemical peel may suit you better; and if you are after hygiene and hydration, a facial cleanse. At the assessment we look at your skin and decide which option fits your goal.
When it may not be the first option
- You are looking for an immediate change equivalent to surgery.
- You expect a fixed or assured result.
- There is active irritation, infection or lesions in the area right now.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding (depending on the treatment).
- You have recently had other procedures in the area that should be assessed first.
Questions for your assessment
- Is this treatment suitable for my goal and my area?
- Which treatments have I had before and how might they matter?
- Do I have sensitivities or history I should mention?
- What downtime would this involve in my case?
- Over what timeframe could progress be assessed?
- What maintenance or follow-up may be needed?
- How is the price planned for my case?
- Is a direct booking or a prior assessment the right route?
Planning combinations
In some cases several treatments may be planned together or in stages. Whether this is appropriate, and in what order, always depends on the prior assessment. We do not offer fixed packages or predefined protocols on this page.

Frequently asked questions
What is a carbon peel (Hollywood peel)?
It is a facial aesthetic treatment that applies a layer of activated carbon to the skin and then works with laser, aimed at the radiance and texture of the face. It is carried out in-cabin and planned in sessions within a course of care.
Which skin type is it recommended for?
It is usually offered for dull, oily or uneven-textured skin, or skin with visible pores, looking for a fresher, more even appearance. Suitability is assessed individually, reviewing your skin type and ruling out situations where it is better to wait or choose another option.
How many sessions are planned, and do you notice results from the first one?
It is planned in sessions within a programme; an indicative number is decided at the assessment based on your skin and goal. Many people notice more radiant skin after a session, though the response varies in each case and we do not promise specific results.
What does the session feel like?
It is usually described as a feeling of warmth with small, brief pinpricks as the laser passes over the skin, generally a tolerable discomfort. Every skin responds differently, and you can tell us if anything feels uncomfortable so we adjust the pace.
What aftercare is involved?
We recommend following the hydration and sun-protection guidance given after the session and avoiding direct sun exposure in the following days. The guidance is explained individually according to your skin.
How much does it cost, and do I need a prior assessment?
The carbon peel is planned in sessions tailored to each skin, so the price is confirmed at the prior assessment. At that appointment we review your skin type, check the treatment is suitable and define the protocol, with no obligation.
Do I need a prior assessment?
We recommend an assessment to confirm the treatment is suitable and define the protocol for your case.
Can I expect a specific result?
