Overview: This non-ablative diode laser selectively destroys sebaceous glands.
Expected results: Destruction of sebaceous hyperplasias. While not first line treatment for acne, the Smoothbeam laser offers an effective treatment option in recalcitrant inflammatory acne.
Preparation: None
Post treatment instructions: Sun protection x 6 weeks
Time to desired results: 1-3 treatments about 3-4 weeks apart may be necessary to eradicate sebaceous hyperplasias, acne treatment is variable and may require between 1-5 treatments.
Contraindications: None. Safe on all skin types.
Duration of desired effects: Permanent. Note: sebaceous hyperplasias are genetically determined and new growths may form in other areas. The Smoothbeam laser does not prevent this genetic tendency.
Downtime: Redness and possible blister formation for up to 3 days.
