The new SmartXide Dot laser therapy provides remarkable results with minimal downtime. Restores the texture and color of the skin, changes that occur in the skin during the aging process, but can also occur due to pregnancy. These skin changes give us that “aged” look. They include the development of fine lines, wrinkles, folds, and abnormal pigmentation.
This new “Dot” therapy can reduce those fine lines and wrinkles, smooth minor creases, and fade abnormal pigmentations that occur over time. It can also reduce scars that have been caused by acne and other processes, and can even fade pregnancy pigmentation, also called melasma or the mask of pregnancy. The therapy can be performed on any skin surface, including the face, chest, and hands.
SmartXide Dot laser therapy is based on using the skin resurfacing power of the CO2 laser, but in a more controlled and refined way. The old fashioned CO2 laser has been considered the “gold standard” for skin rejuvenation for over a decade and produces the best results over time. In other words, there was virtually no other technology that seemed to provide the same or equivalent results as this procedure could produce. However, this may change with this new Dot technology.
The SmartXide Dot laser is markedly different from previous CO2 laser treatments that had resulted in extended downtime. This exciting new procedure is performed in the office while the patient is awake. Only local anesthetics with mild sedation are needed, and treatment is quick, lasting only 15 to 30 minutes. Downtime after the procedure is very short, with most people returning to normal activities within five to seven days.
Fractional technology has made this new SmartXide Dot laser the resurfacing technology of choice today. This new technology works by creating thousands of tiny holes in the skin to a specific depth. This destroys the abnormal skin surfaces in these small holes to remove changes from the aging process, but leaves good skin tissue on the sides of the holes to allow the skin to rejuvenate and plump on these sides. The healing process is very fast, but the results are remarkably good. In addition, downtime and potential complications are kept to a minimum.
The doctors who offer this new technology are at the forefront of laser resurfacing technology. Patients no longer have to experience long downtime after these procedures. They can quickly resume their normal activities, but receive wonderful skin rejuvenation results for a more youthful appearance. In fact, this new technology may become the new gold standard for CO2 laser resurfacing to reduce signs of aging such as fine skin lines, wrinkles, minor creases, and abnormal pigmentation. Therefore, this Dot Laser may prove to be the best answer to help maintain a more youthful appearance of the skin.
