SmoothBeam FAQ
Are lasers safe for my skin? What are the long-term effects?
Lasers used in medicine are quite safe and are very precise instruments, enabling physicians to target structures they otherwise could not access. Lasers, like SmoothBeam, have been used in medicine for the past 20 years and have revolutionized many common dermatological procedures.
SmoothBeam, in particular, is such a safe laser that it is commonly used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes.
What will the laser treatment be like?
You and the physician will wear protective eyewear during the short laser treatment. Your doctor will use a small handpiece to deliver the laser pulses to your skin. You will feel a probe touch your skin and deliver a small spray of coolant in conjunction with each laser pulse. This coolant protects the upper layer of the skin during each laser pulse.
How long does each treatment session last?
Depending on the size of the treated area, a session could last from five to 30 minutes.
Is it painful?
Most patients report the procedure to be mild with little more than a slight snapping or stinging sensation, like a rubber band. Topical anesthetics are available if you find the procedure to be uncomfortable.
How does SmoothBeam acne laser therapy work?
Over 80% of your skin is made up of water. SmoothBeam 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 activity and function of the glands. Shortly after the first treatment, you will start to see a eduction in the number of acne lesions on your skin. These lesions do not reappear for as long as 6 months.
How many times do I have to return for treatment?
In most cases, three to four treatments may be required for best results. Practitioners usually like to separate treatments by three to five weeks.
Do I have to have ’severe’ acne to be a candidate for SmoothBeam acne treatment?
No, this treatment can be performed on acne patients of all ages. Only you can determine how your acne affects you and what steps you are going to take to improve the appearance of your skin.
