Does Smoothbeam work to remove scars?

Question

Wait time in-between V-Beam/Smoothbeam sessions?

Smoothbeam -1 answer

I have had 2 V-Beam/Smoothbeam treatments so far (4 weeks apart - for moderate acne scarring), but have to wait 7 weeks till my 3rd treatment due to work issues - is that too long? Will my results be less because of that?

Smoothbeam may help for scars, but it depends on what type you have. Also, we do not feel it would be your most effective option for acne scars. If you are speaking about acne scars (bumpy, facial acne scars) there are several good options that we think would be more effective than Smoothbeam. The only real advantage for Smoothbeam compared to these options is that it has no downtime and is generally cheaper.

Options include:

CO2, Erbium or Fractional Laser Resurfacing
Subcision or Punch Excision
Dermabrasion
