Candela Smoothbeem Laser
The Candela Smoothbeam Laser is a dermatological laser treatment used primarily for skin rejuvenation and acne treatment. It employs a 1450 nm diode laser, which is particularly effective for targeting the sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin, helping to reduce acne and improve overall skin texture.
Key Features and Uses:
- Acne Treatment:
- Sebaceous Gland Targeting: The laser heats the sebaceous glands, reducing their activity and thus minimizing acne breakouts.
- Inflammation Reduction: Helps decrease the inflammation associated with acne.
- Skin Rejuvenation:
- Collagen Stimulation: Promotes collagen production, which can improve skin texture and elasticity.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Scar Treatment: Can improve the appearance of acne scars and other skin imperfections.
- Non-Ablative:
- The Smoothbeam is a non-ablative laser, meaning it does not remove the outer layer of skin, resulting in minimal downtime and a lower risk of complications compared to ablative lasers.
Procedure:
- Pre-Treatment: The skin is cleaned, and sometimes a topical anesthetic is applied to enhance comfort.
- Laser Application: The laser is applied to the targeted areas, with the heat penetrating the skin to affect the sebaceous glands and stimulate collagen production.
- Post-Treatment Care: Patients may experience mild redness or swelling, but these effects are typically short-lived. Sun protection is important after the treatment to protect the skin.
Benefits:
- Minimal Downtime: Patients can usually resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
- Long-Lasting Results: With a series of treatments, patients often see significant and lasting improvements in skin condition.
- Versatility: Suitable for various skin types and can address multiple skin concerns simultaneously.
