Other ServicesIPL Photo rejuvenationIntense Pulsed Light can address redness or brown spots of the skin as well as vascular lesions. It can also improve overall texture and clarity with repeat treatments. SmoothbeamSmoothbeam is a 1450 nm diode laser from Candela corporation. This is non-ablative laser which means there is no burning, cutting or removing the skin surface. Instead the laser heats the deeper tissue and reduces oil-producing sebaceous gland which is food source for p.acnes bacteria. By reducing sebaceous gland and promoting collagen production, Smoothbeam treats active acne as well as improving and reducing acne scars. Smoothbeam is also effective in periorbital wrinkles and other fine lines due to its collagen stimulation. The Smoothbeam laser employs a revolutionary, patented process with DCD (Dynamic Cooling Device), which allows surface cooling of the skin while the laser heats deeper tissue and makes the treatment very tolerable. The treatment usually takes 10 to 30 minutes and several additional treatments are required, spaced 2 - 4 weeks apart for the best results. There might be slight redness and possible discoloration (darkening of the skin) which typically disappear over time. The improvement of the skin condition is usually appreciated 1 to 2 months after the procedure rather than immediately, since collagen growth takes time. |
