An exciting new laser technology, the Candela Laser SmoothBeam with Two Handpieces uses a combination of skin heating and cooling to selectively heat the middle layer of the skin. By heating that layer (the dermis), it is possible to gently treat a variety of skin problems. The laser is FDA approved to treat wrinkles, acne and acne scars. In addition, the Smoothbeam laser has been reported to improve sebaceous hyperplasia and other skin problems.
Smoothbeam remodels collagen to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and acne scars. By penetrating the upper layers only, Smoothbeam stimulates new collagen deposition and targets photo-damage where it is most prevalent.
One of the benefits of the Smoothbeam laser is the low chance of side effects. The most common side effect is mild redness in spots lasting about a few hours. Rare side effects can include blistering or color changes. Scarring is extremely rare but possible with any treatment of the skin.

Objective. This study aims to determine the clinical effectiveness and safety of the nonablative 1450 nm diode laser with cryogen cooling spray in the treatment of facial atrophic acne scars in Type IV‐V Asian skin.
Methods. This is a prospective non‐comparative open study. 4 to 6 laser treatment sessions were performed on patients with atrophic acne scars. Final clinical assessment was performed 6 months after the last treatment.
