Smoothbeam
What is Smoothbeam?The Smoothbeam is a diode laser that is absorbed by the water in the undersurface of the skin. It shrinks the oil glands and gets rid of acne cysts and bumps. It remodels the collagen underneath the skin and minimizes wrinkles. It is a non-invasive way to treat acne and acne scars. Non-invasive lasers do not cut or remove the skin surface. Instead, their action occurs underneath the outer layers of the skin. Lasers work at a deep level, so you won't experience any pain or peeling. By stimulating the dermis with the laser's thermal beam, scars are gradually filled in by your body's own collagen. What Are The Indications for Smoothbeam Treatment?
Am I a Candidate for Smoothbeam Laser Treatment?If you have acne or acne scars and you want an extremely effective treatment without down time or systemic side-effects, this may be the right treatment for you. The Smoothbeam rejuvenation treatment also helps with enlarged oil glands and wrinkles. Patients love the results of Smoothbeam on crow&rsquos feet around the eyes. What Does the Smoothbeam Treatment Procedure Involve?Smoothbeam gently delivers the laser energy through your skin&rsquos 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 helps smoothen 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.
