Active Acne Treatment (QOOL Carbon Peel or RecoSMA®)

LINLINE offers two alternative, non-thermal options for active acne on the MULTILINE™ base unit. They are not performed in the same session; the choice based on current needs, timing, and skin status:
- Carbon Peel in QOOL mode — fast “deep-clean + calm” with no downtime (event-ready).
- RecoSMA® field therapy — regenerative, anti-inflammatory care that also addresses post-acne marks and scars.
Option 1 — Carbon Peel (QOOL mode, no downtime)
What it does
Quickly reduces inflammation and shine, deeply cleans pores, refines tone and texture, and—on facial areas—can thin vellus hair as a bonus.
How it works
A thin layer of pure carbon is applied and first worked into the skin. Carbon is an ideal chromophore: under QOOL pulse-trains (nanosecond pulses at 1079 nm), the laser couples to carbon and ejects it from pores, “vacuuming” debris and oil while stimulating the skin. LINLINE’s high-power, precisely sequenced pulse-trains drive carbon deeper and clear more thoroughly than single-shot analogs—without injuring the skin surface.
Why patients like it
- Zero downtime: back to normal life the same day.
- All-season, sun-friendly protocol (follow everyday SPF as good practice).
- Event-ready: a reliable “first-aid” option when you need a quick visual reset.
Why practitioners like it
- Fast, comfortable session; no anaesthesia or contact gels.
- Combines pore cleansing with vellus-hair reduction on the face.
- Predictable endpoints; streamlined workflow on MULTILINE™.
Option 2 — RecoSMA® (skin regeneration & anti-inflammatory therapy)
What it does
Helps settle active inflammation, normalize skin function, and improve texture—ideal when breakouts coexist with post-acne scars and lingering dark/red marks.
How it works (simple)
Using the Er:YAG emitter with the SMA module, RecoSMA® delivers thousands of ≤ 50 µm micro-beams that produce microscopic surface micro-ablations and deep, non-thermal micro-stimulation. This triggers regeneration (collagen remodeling, improved microcirculation), so skin looks and behaves healthier over the following weeks.
Why patients like it
- Visible improvement in texture and tone; supports scar-risk reduction.
- Short social downtime (a few days of bronzing/micro-dots, then shedding).
- Designed to preserve the epidermal barrier, so aftercare is simple.
Why practitioners like it
- A field-level treatment for acne-prone skin: anti-inflammatory and regenerative.
- Addresses post-acne scars and spots within the same course.
- Can be used under physician supervision alongside hormonal therapy (e.g., isotretinoin), according to clinical protocols.
Choosing between them
If the priority is…
| Choose
| What to expect
|
Immediate “calm & clean” before an event
| Carbon Peel (QOOL)
| Same-day return to routine; clearer look and reduced shine right away.
|
Deeper, lasting field change (texture, early scars, stubborn marks)
| RecoSMA®
| Gradual improvement over weeks as regeneration unfolds; short social downtime.
|
Treatments are alternatives per visit. In a longer plan, practitioners may schedule QOOL Carbon Peel in one visit and RecoSMA® in separate later visits, if indicated.
What a visit is like
Carbon Peel
- Feel: light warmth/snaps as carbon is cleared.
- After: skin looks clean, matte, and calmer; no downtime.
RecoSMA®
- Feel: brief warmth/tingling; anaesthesia typically not needed.
- After: several social days of bronzing/micro-dots; then smoother, more even skin as remodeling progresses.
Indications & areas
- Active inflammatory acne (face/neck/back).
- Carbon Peel when fast visual improvement and pore cleansing are needed now.
- RecoSMA® when there are texture issues, early or established post-acne scars, and persistent red/brown marks.
Safety notes
- Carbon Peel: all-season, painless when performed correctly; avoid eyes/tattoos; remove make-up/oils pre-treatment.
- RecoSMA®: minimal restrictions; standard laser precautions apply. May be integrated with physician-managed systemic therapy when appropriate.
Benefits at a glance
For patients
- Two doctor-selected options tailored to your situation—fast relief (QOOL Carbon Peel) or deeper change (RecoSMA®).
- Comfortable treatments with little to no downtime.
- Pathway that can also address post-acne scars and spots.
For practitioners
- Clear choice per visit: rapid, no-downtime pore therapy vs. regenerative field therapy.
- Preset-guided workflows on a single MULTILINE™ platform.
- Flexibility to stage vascular/pigment touch-ups in separate visits when needed.
Key takeaway
For active acne, LINLINE provides two alternative, non-thermal treatments—Carbon Peel (QOOL) for immediate calm and deep cleansing with no downtime, and RecoSMA® for regenerative, anti-inflammatory improvement with benefits for post-acne marks and scars. Your clinician selects the best option per visit to match your goals and timeline.
