The Smoothbeam / VBeam combination is a great for acne, acne scarring and redness. It is not necessary to stop Retin Abefore the treatment unless it was making you so red it would interfere with the evaluation of your skin.
Hyperpigmentation
is a possible side effect for many lasers including Smoothbeam however; in my
office I still treat darker skin types. First I have the patient use a type of
bleaching cream, the cream is meant to suppress the melanin production in
darker skin types. If you first treat the skin...
The Smoothbeam would be a great start and then you can keep up with the maintenance with at home treatments. I would recommend the at home peels and/ or one step acne eliminating pads. You want to continue exfoliating and shrinking the pores.
