About

The Smoothbeam laser was designed to combat the effects of acne and aging skin in a softer and gentler way. It uses a revolutionary process that delivers the laser energy through your skin’s surface, to gently stimulate the production of collagen, and change the function of the sebaceous glands that cause acne, while its dynamic cooling device protects the outer layer of your skin. As the new collagen forms, it softens the appearance of wrinkles and aging skin and reduces the number of acne lesions on your skin. Smoothbeam facial rejuvenation is so gentle that there is no interruption to your normal life.

Benefits

Active Acne Treatment

The Smoothbeam improves active acne by actually altering the function of the oil-producing sebaceous glands. This effect alone prevents the occurrence of future acne scarring. The Smoothbeam is frequently used in combination with the Clearlight laser for a comprehensive acne treatment.

During clinical trials, 83% of patients sighted clearing of back acne lesions after 4 treatments, and did not show signs of reoccurrence for six month after the first treatment. Results may vary; you should discuss your expectations with your practitioner. Several treatments are usually required.

Acne Scarring

Smoothbeam improves and reduces acne scars by triggering the production of new collagen. The Smoothbeam fills in and softens acne scars “from the inside out” by filling in the pock marks with the newly formed collagen.

Skin Renewal

Wrinkling is caused by loss of collagen and elastin in the skin. Smoothbeam’s technology causes the body to reactivate the production of collagen to areas that have lost their “fill” (wrinkles). This new collagen improves the skin’s elastic capabilities and overall tone. Your face will feel firmer, smoother, and show fewer fine wrinkles.

Procedure

Due to the comfort provided by the spray of the cooling device, during your series of Smoothbeam treatments, you will see an ongoing improvement in how your skin looks and feels. No tissue is removed. You can watch as your skin gradually rebuilds from the inside and restores a more youthful appearance to your skin. Over a few months, your Smoothbeam facial rejuvenation treatments can help restore what time has worn away.

Smoothbeam delivers the laser energy through your skin’s surface, to gently stimulate the production of collagen, and change the function of the sebaceous glands that cause acne, while its dynamic cooling device protects the outer layer of your skin. Most patients only feel a slight tingling sensation as the laser pulses. A topical anesthetic can be applied for those with sensitive skin. As the new collagen forms, it helps smooth and fill in acne scars and reduces the number of acne lesions on your skin. It also decreases wrinkles and the appearance of aging skin. With the first treatment you may experience significant improvement in the quality of the skin. Most patients notice a gradual reduction in the number of acne lesions by the second or third treatment. There are no unusual side effects or adverse reactions.
