The Smoothbeam laser has been FDA approved for treating active acne, acne scars and fine lines. Studies have shown over 90% improvement after 3-4 treatments for acne. Recent followup has shown that results last at least 18 months. Acne scars, one of the most challenging problems in dermatology, also improve an average of 50-60% with long lasting results after a series of treatments. Fine lines of the eye area, upper lip and cheeks have shown significant improvement with this laser.
