Candela Smooth Beam ¹p®g¥h¬Í²ª¡A¤ò¤Õ¬}


Non- ablative technology has been at the forefront of aesthetic laser treatment. Patients no longer seek permanent, yet drastic results of laser resurfacing, which require long post-treatment social isolation, and involve potential complications such as infections or scarring. Patients are increasingly receptive to more subtle results in exchange for the possibility of returning to their social or professional activities immediately after treatment.
Treat Acne, Acne Scars and Wrinkles with one Device
One new device for non-ablative treatment is the Smoothbeam laser from Candela Corporation. This device has a wavelength of 1450nm; it is preferentially absorbed by the water in the papillary dermis. The pulse duration of this laser is 250nm. The pulse is a combination of laser pulses and sprays of cryogen. Candela's Dynamic Cooling DeviceT (DCDT) is integrated in the device, ensuring optimal protection of the epidermis during treatment.
