The Smoothbeam is a well known diode laser that has several uses including the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles and acne scars. The Smoothbeam is a non ablative laser which means that it does not remove any of the skin surfaces during the treatment and thus is gentle and requires no downtime.

How does Smoothbeam work and what is the treatment like?
The Smoothbeam laser treatment is preceded by the application of a topical anesthetic for about thirty minutes. The procedure involves the delivery of a special wavelength of laser energy deep below the skin to the level of the dermis, stimulating collagen and smoothing the skin’s surface. The skin is protected by a simultaneous cool spray called collagen. The procedure is tolerated quite well and no downtime is required afterwards. Tanning must be avoided before and after the treatment.
