Smoothbeam acne laser therapy is an effective way to treat your acne. This gentle, safe treatment uses a laser to target overactive sebaceous glands in your skin - the root cause of acne. Medical lasers such as Smoothbeam are safe and have been used for over 20 years to treat many medical and cosmetic skin conditions. You likely have questions about any new treatment, such as Smoothbeam for acne. Below are the most commonly asked questions and answers about this procedure.

Lasers used in medicine are quite safe and 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.

You and the physician will wear protective eye wear during the short laser treatment. Your doctor will use a small hand piece 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.

No, this is a simple procedure that is performed in an outpatient setting such as a physician's office or skin care center.

Depending on the size of the area, a treatment could last from 5 to 15 minutes. If topical anesthesia is used additional time is required.

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.

There are typically minimal risks to this laser procedure. Mild redness is usually seen immediately after the procedure and typically subsides within a day. Patients should discuss their own specific and general risks with their health care provider.

Over 80% of your skin is made up of water. Smoothbeam emits a wavelength of light that is strongly adsorbed by water in your skin. As the laser penetrates in to 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 structure and function of the glands. Shortly after the first treatment, you will start to see a reduction in the number of acne lesions on your skin. Remission times have been documented as long as 6 months.

There is no pretreatment required in advance of the Smoothbeam laser acne treatment. You should, however, avoid sun exposure for two weeks before and after the laser procedure. Also, your skin should be thoroughly cleaned to remove any makeup, creams or oils on its surface before the laser procedure. If you do require a topical anesthetic, it should be applied in advance of treatment. Consult your physician on whether this is needed.
