Would Candela Smooth beam laser work at reducing pimples?

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Yes. The Smoothbeam laser treats active acne as well as acne scarring. Sometimes it is used with the VBeam laser to help reduce the redness of acne and assist in the treatment of acne scarring. 

Smoothbeam
laser could provide you some improvement but if your acne is primarily hormonal
in etiology, there are better options: correcting any hormonal abnormalities,
oral contraceptives, and spironolactone are just a few such therapeutic
options.

The SmoothBeam Laser by Candela is the only FDA approved laser for treatment of acne on the face and body. It also treats acne scars. This treatment has no pain and no downtime. This is an excellent treatment for hard to treat acne.
