Smoothbeam laser acne treatment

What is the Smoothbeam laser and why is it safe?

The Smoothbeam Laser produces an intense but gentle burst of light that selectively alters the sebaceous glands that are the cause of acne without damaging the surrounding tissue. After laser treatment the surrounding tissue is left intact and normal pigmentation occurs. The epidermis is protected during the treatment with the Dynamic Cooling Device, which sprays a cooling cryogen mist onto the skin before and after each laser pulse, which also increases patient comfort.

Over 80% of your skin is made up of water. The Smoothbeam laser emits a wavelength of light that is strongly absorbed by water in your skin. As the laser penetrates into the skin, heat is generated in and around the sebaceous glands in the upper layers of your skin. The heating of the sebaceous glands creates a mild thermal injury that changes the structure and function of the glands.

How does the Smoothbeam help improve the look of acne scars?

There is no current method or therapy that will completely remove scars. The Smoothbeam laser can improve the look and feel of most scars by stimulating collagen production in the deep layers of your skin. Multiple treatments are usually necessary to achieve improvement; the amount of improvement depends on the size and severity of the scar. Most patients notice improvement 6-8 weeks after their first treatment. Please note that although we have seen significant improvements using Smoothbeam laser, the laser will not completely remove acne or acne scars.
