What is Smooth Beam Laser Treatment?
Smooth Beam laser treatments are a fractional non-ablative treatment, which means it only affects the top layer of skin. It is not invasive and will not cause any downtime or pain during the procedure. The laser device helps to reduce pore size as well as redness that may be caused by acne breakouts. Acne causes many red marks on the skin from inflammation, which can be minimized with laser treatments.
How Does the Laser Treatment Work?
When the laser energy penetrates into your skin it will heat up underneath your top layer of skin, which leads to collagen production. This increase in collagen helps tighten the appearance of pores and improve elasticity for a more youthful-looking complexion. The heat generated by Smooth Beam laser treatments only affects the area treated, with little or no inflammation. Plus, the treatment is non-ablative, which means it does not penetrate deep into your skin.
How Does it Reduce Cystic Acne?
Smooth Beam laser treatments are effective in treating the inflammation caused by cystic acne because it reduces redness. This is beneficial for people who have skin conditions where they are highly sensitive to sunlight, such as lupus or rosacea. The heat generated from Smooth Beam lasers can help reduce pain and discomfort associated with cysts that need to be drained.
How Long Does the Process Take?
The entire process takes about 20-30 minutes per treatment. You can choose to have more than one area treated at the same time, which will shorten your overall procedure time.
Laser treatments have been used for years to reduce the inflammation and redness from acne. Recently, studies have found that laser skin resurfacing can also help clear up cystic acne by reducing oil production on the skin’s surface.
