How Carbon Laser Peel Works at RE:BERRY Hongdae
Skin & Pore Assessment (15-20 minutes)
Your assigned doctor evaluates sebum output, pore size, and tone under magnification and sets a conservative Q-switched 1064nm fluence tuned for Fitzpatrick IV-VI Asian skin before any carbon laser peel pass begins.
Carbon Lotion Application (5-10 minutes)
A liquid carbon lotion is applied and left to dry for about 10 minutes so the fine carbon particles settle deep into pores and bind sebum, dead cells, and surface debris ahead of the laser pass.
Q-Switched 1064nm Laser Pass (5-10 minutes)
The Q-switched 1064nm Nd:YAG laser is passed 1-2 times over the skin; carbon absorbs the energy strongly, producing a photomechanical reaction that vaporizes the carbon and lifts bound debris, exfoliating the surface across a 4-6 session course.
Cooling, Glow Check & Aftercare (5 minutes)
Skin may look briefly flushed for 1-2 hours, then settles to an immediate glow; the doctor sets SPF and barrier aftercare so most patients return to makeup and normal activity the same day with essentially no downtime.

RE:BERRY Hongdae keeps one doctor tracking your pore and sebum response through the whole course, unlike clinics that rotate patients between visits.
OECD 2023 reports Korean outpatient visits average 4.3 minutes versus longer diagnostic time abroad; RE:BERRY Hongdae runs 60-90 minute consultations so the correct Q-switched 1064nm fluence and course length are chosen before any carbon laser peel pass.

Scientific Evidence
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
Carbon Laser Peel — peer-reviewed references
Peer-reviewed evidence supports carbon-assisted Q-switched 1064nm Nd:YAG treatment for pore refinement, sebum control, and skin brightening. Split-face and prospective studies report measurable reductions in pore size and surface oil after a course of 4-6 sessions, with the carbon acting as an exogenous chromophore that concentrates the photomechanical effect. The same 1064nm wavelength delivers sub-ablative dermal heating validated across Fitzpatrick I-VI skin types.
Korean clinical work published in Ann Dermatol (Seoul) confirms comparable pore and tone outcomes with a low complication rate in Asian skin. A Fitzpatrick-stratified fluence protocol reported 6-month post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation outcomes in 1,447 Korean patients, guiding the conservative settings and contact cooling used to protect Fitzpatrick IV-VI patients across a carbon laser peel course.
