Weird burns after smoothbeam laser for acne scarring?

here's the picture
are those burns, bruises or what!?!
that was shortly after the treatment when the swelling went down.

Did your Dr tell you to expect that? If not you should tell the office about it and see what they say, I think after a few weeks it should heal up on its own.

Has anyone had smoothbeam laser surgery for acne?


Has anyone ever gotten smoothbeam laser surgery for acne? If so how many treatments did you have to get? how was your skin before and after the treatments? In 2003 when I was 18 I was on accutane for 6 months, and seen no results. I'm currently using proactive, and It's doing little to my skin. It seems like I tried all the creams, and antibiotics in the world. I've had plenty of dermatologist, and none could clear my skin. I've heard smoothbeam really works. Acne have always kept me down, and I feel like this is my last option to getting clear skin. I don't even go out as much as I would like to. Now being 21 I think I should just except the fact that I have acne, since It do not look like It's going to go away, but It's going to be hard for me. I don't know why, but girls seem to still like me. I have acne, acne scars, and oily skin. Any infomation would be great. Thank You

I actually just got the smoothbeam treatment and it worked pretty well. I just started going to the dermatologist in upstate new york, where i live, and they put me on Keflex(an oral antibiotic), gave me Clindamycin pads, Gylcolic Acid pads for many body, and just recently, RetinA cream. It all is starting to work, and my acne is really clearing up. I just had the smoothbeam laser thingy, and it was pretty painless. I saw some improvement from it a couple days after, and i still have a few more to go. The V-Beam laser thing isn't approved by insurance, because its considered a "cosmetic" surgery, and i think im getting that done in late summer. I guess it gets rid of all the redness on my face. I suggest going to a better dermatologist, because I also struggle with acne. But now that I'm seeing a dermatologist, my skin is starting to clear. I heard accutane is really bad, because it dries out your whole body. OH, i forgot, i also use a soap that is fragrance-free,dye-free, and free of anything else but gentle cleanser. That's what i use on my face when i wash it. When you go to a GOOD dermatologist, make sure you follow EVERYTHING they tell you, don't skip anything. Make sure you speak up and say that NOTHING has worked and be honest about it. They'll know what to do, because acne doesn't last forever. What you may have are acne scars, according to my dermatologist, and they'll stay red like that for a long time, unless you get some V-Beam treatments, which you should ask about. The only problem is that, although the Smoothbeam treatments are payed for by insurance, the V-Beam treatments are not. It's going to cost me about $200 per session,and ill need 2 sessions. My dermatologist said that people usually see a 50-80 percent difference after the treatment, so it works really well.

I hope this all helps, just try and go find a good dermatologist!!
