How it works

Carbon, laser, then glow.

AlphaCARBON Peel, also called a carbon laser peel or Hollywood Peel, starts with a thin layer of carbon lotion on the skin. Our picosecond laser then passes over the skin, lifting the carbon away along with dull surface cells, excess oil and impurities.

Every appointment finishes with LED light therapy to calm the skin. If it suits your skin and treatment plan, your therapist may also apply a finishing peel. Most clients leave with skin that looks clearer and more refined. Results vary from person to person.

It can help with

Dull, tired-looking skin
Oily skin and the look of enlarged pores
Congestion and uneven texture
A refresh before an event

We check your skin and health history before we start, and may adjust or postpone your treatment if needed. Not sure it suits you? Call the clinic on 0474 499 142.

FAQs

Good questions.

Is AlphaCARBON Peel the same as a Hollywood Peel?

Yes. Hollywood Peel and carbon laser peel are other names for this type of treatment. A thin carbon layer is applied to the skin and lifted away with a laser.

Does it hurt?

Most clients feel warmth and a light prickling or snapping sensation as the laser passes over. It’s usually well tolerated.

Is there downtime?

Usually very little. Your skin may look a little pink for a few hours, and most clients get back to their day straight after.

Is LED included?

Yes. LED light therapy is part of your 45-minute AlphaCARBON Peel, not a separate add-on.

What’s included?

Every AlphaCARBON Peel includes a cleanse, the carbon laser peel and LED light therapy. A finishing peel is added only when it suits your skin and treatment plan.

How many treatments will I need?

Some clients book a single session for a refresh, while others plan a course. Your therapist will recommend what suits your skin and your goals.

I m blown away and amazed at how much my skin has changed . I have rosacea and my redness has nearly completely gone. The texture of my skin and pores are visibly better. I am so happy with my results and so excited for my next treatment. I especially notice a huge difference after my last pick laser treatment.

Jamie Joyce

As a man, I’ll be the first to admit I neglected my skin for 34 years. Washing and moisturising were pretty much an afterthought! But after my son was born, I noticed my skin really starting to deteriorate, losing its life and becoming increasingly dry and irritated. I tried a few clinics around Melbourne, but the treatments felt quite generic. What I really needed was someone who specialised in men’s skin and could tailor a treatment plan to my specific needs. That’s when I found Eden at Alphadermis, and from the initial consultation, I knew I was in the right hands. Eden is not only a true gentleman and clearly experienced in his field, but he also genuinely understands the science behind skin health. He took the time to understand my skin, explain what was happening and develop a personalised plan that actually made sense for me. Honestly, within days of making a few simple tweaks to my routine, I noticed a difference. My skin felt less dry, less irritated and was finally getting back on track. From there, it only continued to improve. I invested in a treatment package, followed Eden’s advice and watched my skin go from strength to strength. I can’t recommend Eden and Alphadermis highly enough, particularly for men who might have neglected their skin for years and don’t know where to start. If you’re looking for someone who understands the science, takes a personalised approach and genuinely cares about getting results, Eden is your guy. Thank you, Eden and the Alphadermis !

Jaclyn Ranasinghe

I’ve been a regular for the past year, and cannot rate Edin and Alphadermis high enough! The care, knowledge, and service is outstanding. Edin tailors treatments and skin care products with precision and it has done wonders for me. I’ve been complemented on my skin too. My go-to treatments are the Alphahydra facial with a B- peel and the Hydrapen pro. Highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. It’s been a journey and my skin is loving it!

ella devine

I have being going to Edin for 5 years now and he has completely transformed my skin! I wouldn’t trust anybody else, he is amazing and always makes you feel so comfortable! Would highly recommend his clinic to everyone❣️

João Victor Gonzalez Cordeiro

Totally recommend this clinic! I’ve been doing laser hair removal and the results are life changing!

Moe Abs

I have been to many clinics in the past. They were all driven by making you buy sessions, but the results were always vague. This clinic stood out because the therapist is very very passionate. Edin loves his stuff and knows it very well. You can tell by the attention to detail and care for results. He tackled my pigmentation scar from all angles and just two sessions were enough for me to start seeing results that I was happy with. Always running on time and the service is second to none I highly recommend

Hayley Reynolds

Edin is absolutely incredible. His attention to detail is unmatched, and you can truly feel how much he cares about your skin and your confidence. He has such a strong passion for what he does, and it shows in every part of the treatment. I always feel 100% comfortable with him, he explains everything so clearly and genuinely wants you to understand the “why” behind your skin concerns and how to fix them. Overall, every session with Edin is an amazing experience. I couldn’t recommend him more!

Dulcie Browning

Seeing Eden has truly changed my life! I’ve struggled with my skin for as long as I can remember and had tried just about everything with little success. It wasn’t until I started seeing Eden that my skin genuinely began to transform. He never pushed any unnecessary products or procedures – instead, he took the time to carefully assess my skin, share his expert opinion, and create a personalised treatment plan. Within just one month, I saw a dramatic improvement. Even after moving to the UK, he has continued to support me remotely and has gone above and beyond to help me maintain my progress. I honestly couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Surekha Glenville

THE BEST OF THE BEST. I MEAN IT!! I’ve been here for almost 2 years now, and there’s no one else i’d trust with my skin. From my face right to my back, the team at Alphadermis, has changed it all for me. My skin has been at its best condition, ever since I started with the team at, Alphadermis. It will be the best investment. I couldn’t recommend them enough! Not to forget, the service is amazing and Edin & the team always explains all the treatment you get, which gives you a better understanding of your skin. I’ve learnt heaps! Thank you team, Alphadermis 🩷🩷

Batuhan Dogruyol

I’ve been getting laser treatment from Edin for about a year now, and the results have been amazing! I had tried another place before but didn’t see any improvement. Here, the progress is incredible — Edin carefully tracks my results after each session and adjusts the treatment level as needed, which makes a huge difference. She’s also super helpful and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for real results!
