SmoothBeam Anti-Aging Laser Treatment $150.00
As we age, the effects of the sun, wind, time and hormones begin to take their toll. Fine lines begin to form around the lips and eyes. As the collagen that supports the skin wears out, deeper lines and grooves form in our brow, next to the nose and down to the corners of our mouths. Surface irregularities such as pigment discolorations and active acne and scarring may also occur.
Advances in treatment options have continued to improve, from dermabrasion and chemical peels to CO2 and ERBIUM laser skin resurfacing. However, these treatments still exfoliate the protective outer layer of skin, which requires bandages and a lengthy recovery period.
The SmoothBeam Diode laser was designed to combat the effects of acne and aging in a softer, 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, fine lines will appear softer and your skin will reveal a more youthful, vibrant complexion. SmoothBeam facial rejuvenation is so gentle that there is no interruption to your normal life. Recommended in a series.
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.
What are the risks/side effects?
There are minimal risks to this laser procedure. Mild redness is usually seen immediately after the procedure and typically subsides in a few hours. Slight changes in skin tone are reported in a small number of patients.
The changes in skin tone were temporary, lasting at most a few weeks. Patients with darker skin tones should discuss this issue with their skin care professional. No scarring or burning has been reported during any of the clinical trials.
How does SmoothBeam 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 ian 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 reduction in the number of lesions on your skin. These lesions do not reappear for as long as 6 months.
What will I look like after my laser treatment & is there a recovery period?
After the laser procedure your skin may be slightly red and tender. The redness usually subsides in only a few hours. Following your laser treatment, you may return to normal activities.
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.
