Candela SmoothPeel
The Candela SmoothPeel is an innovative laser device that offers patients a revolutionary new way to experience true skin exfoliation. The SmoothPeel is a technologically advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that has many advantages over more traditional peel methods. Chemical peels are one of the most widely performed aesthetic procedures for skin rejuvenation; however successful outcomes of this treatment depend largely on the skill and experience of the practitioner. The Candela SmoothPeel offers reliable treatments that provide consistent results that are less invasive and require less downtime; no other skin exfoliation treatment can compare.
Approved by the FDA for lasting skin rejuvenation, the SmoothPeel by Candela is a low power 2940nm Er: YAG (Erbium YAG) laser that provides relief from a variety of aesthetic needs including fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, age spots, uneven pigmentation and overall skin rejuvenation; a large range of patients can see effective results with this versatile machine. When undergoing traditional skin rejuvenation methods such as chemical peels, practitioners found it difficult to determine the amount and depth of tissue destruction needed; this is what ultimately distinguishes the ideal contact time for the chemical agent. Due to this inconsistency, many patients experienced varying results in addition to a host of undesirable complications. The SmoothPeel treatment has introduced a way to achieve the beneficial effects of a chemical peel without the chemicals.
The main reason why the SmoothPeel is ideal for effective skin exfoliation is because it is specifically designed to cater to patients specific needs. Overall treatment time as well as energy levels utilized will be determined by the level of rejuvenation needed. For lighter peels, practitioners will use a larger spot size and will perform less passes at a higher energy level. For a deeper peel (medium depth) the smaller spot size can be used for higher precision and more passes will be made at a medium to high setting.
When the treatment is performed the laser device will be passed over the targeted area. While traditional chemical peel treatments are limited to the face, the Candela SmoothPeel can be used on the face, neck, chest and even hands. As the laser is passed over the area being treated, the laser delivers precise tissue ablation with only very superficial thermal injury. This means that the outer layers of skin are lightly ablated so that the dead skin and other facial ailments can be targeted and removed. Simultaneously, the thermal injury promotes the natural growth of collagen which effectively smoothes out fine lines and wrinkles for a tighter, younger appearance.
Candela’s new SmoothPeel treatment enables practitioners to perform a light, refreshing no downtime peel or a deeper treatment similar to a mid-level chemical peel without traditional downtime or side effects that are commonly associated. For the very best skin rejuvenation results, patients should undergo at least three treatments that are spaced every two to four weeks apart. Patients who undergo SmoothPeel treatments routinely see improvement after the first procedure and experience continuing results after each successive treatment. Once treated, men and women report smoother, more vibrant skin and a more evenly toned complexion. If you are searching for a skin rejuvenation treatment that is mildly invasive and involves little to no downtime, consider the SmoothPeel treatment by Candela. Once you complete your series of treatments, you won’t believe the difference.
