How does Smoothbeam help acne scars?
Smoothbeam laser heats up the old collagen in the scars and stimulate production of new collagen. This new collagen in turn improves the appearance of the depressed acne scars by reducing the depth and softening the edges of the scars.
How many times do I have to return for treatment?
The number of treatments depends on the anatomical location of the scars, their depth and the desired results.
In most cases, at least 5 - 6 treatments may be required for noticeable improvement. Treatment may be performed
every 3 to 5 weeks. Maximum improvements may only be seen 6 months after a series of treatment. It may not work
effectively for deep scars. However, Smoothbeam laser has the advantage of having minimal to no downtime involved after the
acne scar treatment.
