| Pros | Leaves your skin feeling tight and smooth for a little while. Not sure on the long term results as of yet. I go for my 4th treatment in 2 days. |
|---|---|
| Cons | A little painful even with numbing cream. $200 per session is a little expensive, but if it works then it will be work every penny. |
| Bottom line | I have had 3 treatments thus far with a month in between each. I go for my 4th in two days. I don't see a difference yet, but I am hoping that it will help with the scars on my cheeks soon. From what I have been able to research, it seems that you don't really see a benefit to scars until a few months after your 4th treatment. I haven't had bad acne for years thanks to accutane when I was in my late teens, but I was left scarred and we all know how they make you feel. |

| Pros | None |
|---|---|
| Cons | caused severe hyperpigmentation |
| Bottom line | I underwent two treatments of smoothbeam and although the first time I did not have any negative reaction, the second time I developed severe swelling and crusting of the skin. Within a week, the swelling subsided however I was left with severe hyperpigmentation. Even after three years of diligent usage of hydroquinone and other bleaching products, my face is still 10% scared by the procedure. I am of Indian origin with medium skintone. The dermatologist seemed quite surprised that I pigmented in this manner. It was truly one of the most difficut phases of my life. Please DO NOT use smoothbeam especially if you pigment easily. |

| Pros | Clear up active acne andd improve skin texture. Minimal side effects. I have had acne for 15+ years, and have tried numerous treatments including Accutane and other laser treatments, this is the only laser treatment that cleared up my acne.(Accutane worked too, but the side effects are too much). |
|---|---|
| Cons | A bit pricey, and you do need to go to a doctor's office to get it done.(I drove 100 mile every 2 weeks for this treatment). Skin will be a bit dry and sensitive after the treatment, but putting on some B5 gel solved the problem in my case. I got some red marks after the treatment, but they faded in 4 to 5 days. I do get a flare of break out right after the treatment,but then my skin get cleared up. It takes several treatment to see results, so be patient. |
| Bottom line | It does work! Result will show gradually. I just finished my 4th treatment, and my skin cleared up almost completely.(only 1 zit left, I used to have at least 20 zits in average). I will post another review when I finish my 6th treatment. |

| Pros | So I have had pretty bad acne and this treatment was a lifesaver. It helped my acne and scarring and prevents new outbreaks.I get numbing cream and then the treatment is almost painfree. I get my treatments at LASERKLINIC ([link removed]). The service/treatments/staff the best. |
|---|---|
| Cons | I get numbing cream and then the treatment is almost painfree. |
| Bottom line | Proven effective treatment for acne and acne scars and prevention of new acne! |

| Pros | Works but you have to be patient-usually after the 3rd fourth treatment you start breaking out less |
|---|---|
| Cons | You have to be fine with being a little sensitive for a week after treatment--maybe a blister or two but so worth it. |
| Bottom line | It's not cheap but it works for my non inflammatory acne |

| Pros | Significantly improves rolling acne scars and other types of acne scars, gentle to the skin, no recovery time |
|---|---|
| Cons | Depending on skin type you may have some red pigmentation after but goes away after a couple days. |
| Bottom line | I use smoothbeam for my acne scars, ive been having treatments since last march. My acne scarring was pretty moderate but now i have seen about 60% improvement. I know this works which is a relief and i continue to have treatments until im satisfied with my skin. I would recommend this. Im not sure how it is for acne...but for scars it definitely works. Ive had about 13 treatments. Also, it takes 6 months from your first treatment until you see results so you have to be patient. |

| Pros | 5% improvement from the first treament. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Nothing negative to say about it so far because Ive only had one treatment. |
| Bottom line | I will post a final review after all my treatments are done, but here is what I can say for now: I reall thought my face was going to be red after the first treament but no, no redness whatsoever. I did have minor swelling though, but that disappeared after 3 hours. I did see a minor improvement right after the treatment and I cant wait until Im done with all treatments. |

| Pros | It did clear up my breakouts, but who knows what it will do in a couple months from now. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Told me the redness would only be a couple hours after treatment.Its been 3 days & Im BEYOND red,burnt&bruised.I called them today,& they want to see me as soon as I get out of work.I cant believe I worked for the past 3 days looking like this!!! |
| Bottom line | I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who doesn't have severe acne because their face may turn out like mine. All of this redness, bruising, burntness......I don't even know if it's going to go away. It looks the same as when the treatment was finished, except much worse. Hopefully they will figure out something for my face tonight. |
