Smoothbeam for Acne Scars?

From your experience, have you seen any scarring or fat loss from the Smoothbeam laser? Do you think it is okay to spot treat with this laser?
Thanks

hi lacey,
i don't really like smoothbeam that much.
when i was choosing a laser for acne scars i chose fraxel because it is considerably more effective and alot less painful. i really do not see much of a reason to use smoothbeam - its an old technology that gives mild benefits.
its not really worth the pain for patients.
