Is It Safe to Have SmoothBeam Laser Treatments During Pregnancy?

I was told that smoothbeam is perfectly safe to have during pregnancy, is it? I need real information on whether there is any risk assoc. with smoothbeam during pregnancy. What exactly can the laser do? Can it affect the fetus? Real info please...

A: Best to Wait

Unless a patient has a severe acne flare, we recommend postponing elective procedures until after pregnancy.  Your acne may improve on its own during pregnancy as well!

Is Smoothbeam Really Good for Oily Skin?

I read that it helps to shrink the oil glands. But I don't think the results can last. Does the oil gland go back to normal if Smoothbeam treatments are stopped?

A: Good for Oil

Yes, the Smoothbeam is good for oily skin.  It works to minimize the oil glands in the follicles.  You do not have to keep doing the treatments to maintain the results.
