Candela Smoothbeam
The Candela Smoothbeam is one of the most versatile diode laser technologies available for the treatment of acne, acne scarring and wrinkles and fine lines. Anyone who has ever suffered with acne knows it is one of the most commonly diagnosed skin conditions in the U.S. today, but sometimes it is difficult to know what to do about it. There more acne remedies currently available than you can count, but how many of those remedies 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 rejuvenate the skin in more ways than one. The Smoothbeam can minimize acne scars, reduce acne breakouts and reduce the most common sign of aging—wrinkles and fine lines.
Acne is a very serious condition; as a matter of fact, four out of five adolescents and adults are currently affected by acne in one way or another. Whether an individual is currently suffering with acne, or had acne in the past and is now left with its constant reminder, it is one of the most common skin conditions human beings experience. Because acne is so prevalent in today’s society, many acne treatments have been developed, but none have provided individuals with such successful results before the introduction of laser acne treatments. The Candela Smoothbeam is unique in that this singular laser is capable of successfully accomplishing two completely different objectives where acne is concerned. On one side of the spectrum, these laser treatments encourage the production of collagen beneath the skin, which plumps up the surface and fills in gaps to smooth out acne scarring. On the other end of the spectrum, these laser treatments can literally shrink the follicles of the sebaceous glands, which, when overactive, lead to the formation of acne. Shrinking these glands reduces the amount of oil the sebaceous gland secretes, less oil production equals less acne outbreaks.
This acne treatment is truly innovative because instead of targeting acne at the skin’s surface, the laser penetrates beneath the outer layers of skin to target the cause of acne in the glands below. The Candela Smoothbeam laser targets the sebaceous glands within the deepest layers of skin without affecting the skins surface, through its patented laser assisted skin renewal (LASR) process. This process is designed to encourage the natural growth of collagen while shrinking the sebaceous glands for smoother, healthier looking skin. While most other acne treatments can be very harsh on the skins surface, the Smoothbeam works to protect the outer layers of skin for safe, effective results.
With its 6mm spot size and 1450nm wavelength, the Smoothbeam is currently the fastest and most effective diode laser for the reduction of acne, acne scarring and fine lines and wrinkles. The reasoning behind this is that 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 with the patented Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD), this treatment is perfectly designed for laser acne removal treatments. For those patients looking for a safe effective way to remove acne and acne scarring, don’t think twice about any of the other alternatives.
