Versatile diode laser technology is key for the treatment of acne, acne scarring and wrinkles and that can be found in Candela’s Smoothbeam laser. Acne is one of the most commonly diagnosed skin conditions in the U.S. today but many sufferers are at a loss as to what to do about it. There are many acne remedies currently out there, but how many can offer safe, effective, long lasting results? The Smoothbeam by Candela is one of the newest non-ablative laser treatments to offer patients the ability to reduce acne breakouts, minimize acne scars and reduce the most common sign of aging--wrinkles.
The fact of the matter is four out of five adolescents and adults are affected in some way by acne. Whether patients are currently suffering with acne, or had acne in the past and now are left with its constant reminder, it is one of the most common skin conditions men and women experience. So how can acne and acne scarring be treated? Many acne treatments have been developed, but none are as effective as laser acne treatments. The Smoothbeam laser by Candela is unique in that its single technology is capable of accomplishing two completely different objectives where acne is concerned. On one hand, laser treatments encourage the production of collagen beneath the skin, which plumps up the surface, fills in gaps and smoothes out scarring. On the other hand, treatments can literally shrink the follicles of the sebaceous glands, which, when overactive, cause the formation of acne. Shrinking these glands reduces the amount of oil those glands can secrete, which in turn calms acne outbreaks.
As a non-ablative treatment, instead of targeting acne at the skin’s surface, the laser penetrates beneath the outer layers of skin to target the glands below. The Smoothbeam laser targets the deepest layers of skin without affecting the skins surface, through its patented laser assisted skin renewal (LASR) process. This process encourages the natural growth of collagen and shrinks the sebaceous glands for smoother, healthier looking skin. While many acne treatments are very harsh to the skins surface, the Smoothbeam works to protect the outer layers of skin for safe, effective results. The Smoothbeam even employs Candela’s patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) which helps to cool and protect the skin during treatment for a higher standard of comfort and protection.
Patients truly enjoy all the Smoothbeam has to offer because of its speed, efficiency and versatility. This treatment is often referred to as the ‘lunch break’ acne treatment because patients can undergo treatment in under an hour and can immediately return to their daily activities. Some patients might experience slight redness in the treated area, but this is minor and usually only lasts for a few minutes to a few hours. This no downtime, minimal risk procedure leaves patients with nothing but smooth, clear, acne and acne scar free skin. And the best part—results are long lasting.
Its 6mm spot size and 1450nm wavelength makes Smoothbeam™ the fastest and most effective diode laser for the reduction of acne, acne scarring and fine lines and wrinkles. This is because the Smoothbeam was designed specifically to target and treat the root cause of acne—the sebaceous gland. With its precise heating of the upper epidermis and controlled cooling of the outer skin layers, this treatment is perfectly designed for acne removal treatments. Patients considering acne removal treatments don’t think twice about any of the other alternatives.
