Can the carbon laser peel cause an acne breakout?

It is unlikely that the Carbon Laser Peel causes acne outbreak per se. The Carbon Peel Laser actually helps to lightly ablate/exfoliate the top layer of dead skin, break up pigments and break down the debris lodged deep in the pores. The combined photothermal and photochemical peeling effect also aid to shrink sebaceous glands, stimulate collagen and reduce inflammation, improving acne. It is possible that some people may experience some mild outbreak during the week after the carbon peel laser due to the exfoliation and increased cell turnover from the treatment. However, most people find improvement to the acne, skin texture, skin tone and pores after the Carbon Laser Peel.
