Smoothbeam Laser and Acne
A recent addition in the treatment of acne scars is the Smoothbeam laser. This laser generates a beam of light which penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the collagen molecules. It has the ability to induce growth of more collagen particles which eventually results in the filling of the wrinkles and scars.
The Smoothbeam laser is widely used to treat acne scars on the face, chest, arms and the back.
The safety and effectiveness of the Smoothbeam laser in the treatment of acne scars has also led to its use in the treatment of facial lines and wrinkles.

Acne: Causes
Causes By Mayo Clinic staff
Three factors contribute to the formation of acne:
- Overproduction of oil (sebum)
- Irregular shedding of dead skin cells resulting in irritation of the hair follicles of your skin
- Buildup of bacteria
Acne occurs when the hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Each follicle is connected to sebaceous glands. These glands secrete an oily substance known as sebum to lubricate your hair and skin. Sebum normally travels up along the hair shafts and then out through the opening of the hair follicle onto the surface of your skin. When your body produces an excess amount of sebum and dead skin cells, the two can build up in the hair follicle and form together as a soft plug.

Blue light therapy can be administered alone through several systems that are available such as ClearLight , or in combination with a topical photosensitizing solution in blue light photodynamic therapy for acne treatment.

Biological Enzymes for Treatment of Acne Scars
Gentle Enzyme Exfoliation for Scars and for Healing and Beautifying of the Skin After Damage
The human body can sustain a variety of injuries, including penetrating trauma, burn trauma and blunt trauma. All of these insults set into motion an orderly sequence of events that are involved in the healing response, in which the normal functional tissue (skin) is replaced by connective tissue (scar) and the healing response is characterized by the movement of specialized cells into the wound site.
Healing is the complex and dynamic process that results in the restoration of anatomical continuity and function. There are four basic responses that can occur following an injury: Normal repair (reestablished equilibrium), is the response where there is a re-established equilibrium between scar formation and scar remodeling. Excessive healing (fibrosis and contractures), there is too much deposition of connective tissue that results in altered structure and thus loss of function. Deficient healing (chronic ulcers) is the opposite of fibrosis; it exists when there is insufficient deposition of connective tissue matrix and the tissue is weakened and fragile to the point where it can bruise and bleed easily.

In treating acne outbreaks the holistic practitioner would typically consider all emotional, physical, mental, or even spiritual imbalances. Any treatments offered would address the whole person, not just the physical body.
For example, Louise Hay, author of The New York Times best seller self-help book You Can Heal Your Life, teaches that acne is a manifestation of not loving or accepting yourself. Hays suggests this affirmation for those with acne: I am a Divine expression of life, I love and accept myself where I am right now..
