Understanding How Smoothbeam Works
Smoothbeam's patented LASRT (laser assisted skin renewal) process provides skin renewal by combining two unique elements:
- A gentle laser pulse that stimulates the formation of new collagen just beneath the surface of your skin
- A proprietary Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) that sprays the upper layers of your skin with a fine mist of cryogen prior to, during, and after the laser pulse, cooling and protecting the surface of your skin. Each pulse cycle of cooling and heating occurs within a second, making the process fast and comfortable.

Step 1
DCD first cools and protects the epidermis before the laser is fired. Automated DCD pulsing continuously cools and protects the epidermis during and after laser exposure. |
|
Step 2
Smoothbeam's 1450 nm wavelength heats water and "damages" collagen in the upper dermis without affecting the epidermis, which is cooled and protected by the DCD |
|
|
|
Step 2: Part 2
DCD localizes heat deposition to the upper dermis, closer to the surface, for more visible results. |
|
Step 2: Part 3
Smoothbeam's extended laser pulse exposure provides gentle uniform heating of the dermis. |
|
|
|
Step 3
The body's natural healing response initiates collagen remodeling and deposition of new, organized collagen |
