Acne scars are also improved because the laser stimulates new collagen production. Collagen is one of the building blocks, or scaffolding, of the skin and is decreased in atrophic scars. The new collagen formation helps to plump the skin in the treated area and push the scar up from underneath. The degree of improvement is usually 50-60%.
In general, 4-6 treatments are required for both acne and acne scarring, performed at intervals of 4 weeks. There is virtually no down time for a Smoothbeam laser treatment; the treated skin may appear red for 1 to 2 hours following the procedure. Finally, because the actual laser pulse may be somewhat painful, a topical anesthetic cream is available for application prior to the procedure.
