Laser Skin Resurfacing


	1. Is it better to get smooth beam laser treatment, or pulsed light treatment?

	It is difficult to generalize this problem. Basically you could say that the smooth beam has good results in rejuvenation, minimizing pore size and fine lines. It also has good treatment results for patients with blackheads and sensitive skin, and the effectiveness can be felt after only one treatment session. The pulsed light treatment has a high rate for removing shallow spots on the skin, and has good results with skin cell and tissue re-activation, but the effects appear later then the smooth beam (around two therapy sessions). Usually it takes the evaluation of a professional doctor to decide what treatment is better for you. Also, the price may be another factor in the decision.

	2.Can annoying tattoos only be removed by laser therapy? Are the costs high?

	Yes, only laser therapy can be used to remove a tattoo. Traditional lasers do not have a high removal rate for tattoos; they will still leave a scar. Because our 1024 laser has a two pulse wave high energy design, it has a higher removal rate for the colored pigments of tattoos, almost higher then 90%. The costs are not cheap though, every square cm is around 2000NTD/per visit, and takes around 2-3 therapy sessions to finish. Special colors and designs might need additional treatments.

	3. Will smooth beam rejuvenation cause bleeding or scabbing after treatment?

	The principles of smooth beam rejuvenation are to use medical carbon as a barrier, and to pass the energy uniformly to the layers of skin tissue, so that there will be no problems with bleeding or scabbing. The most serious situation would be slight redness and swelling, we will have the procedure of cooling down and astringing the skin after treatment. If there is temporary redness, it will disappear in 12 hours, so please do not worry.

	4. How long can smooth beam rejuvenation last after therapy? Is there any special skin maintenance necessary?

	Usually we recommend patients that have done smooth beam laser treatment to use sun screen and moisturizer between treatments and after treatments are over. This is the way to maintain the results of the treatment, and can help the results last for a number of years. Although special care products are not necessary, it is just important to take extra care in skin maintenance. Of course if you do not have sunscreen, moisturizer, and whitening products that you normally use, we will recommend you to use vitamin C essence from Japan and placenta vitamin A,C,E beauty cream as the main products for daily care. These products will help enhance the treatment effects even more.

	5. Is smooth beam laser the same as carbon laser? Why does carbon laser cost less?

	You need to be careful if the price for treatment is less then the market price. There are many clinics that use their laser machines with untraceable carbon, and call it smooth beam laser treatment; the results are similar to the real smooth beam therapy that our clinic provides. They call it carbon laser because they also use carbon, consumers must be careful distinguishing this point. Real smooth beam laser therapy has obvious results after one trial; you can use this to judge the authenticity and quality of the machinery.
