SmartXide Dot Therapy
SmartXide DOT therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that offers a number of advantages over other techniques, including:
• Reduced downtime
• Speedier healing
• Faster procedural time
• Increased safety
• Pinpoint accuracy
• Ability to customize treatment
• Minimally invasive
• No need for general anaesthesia
SmartXide DOT Therapy is a technique used to rejuvenate and improve the appearance of sun- or age-damaged skin, acne scarring, and wrinkles which treats tiny areas or “islands” of tissue while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched, resulting in a much speedier healing time. The technique creates tiny damaged areas which encourage the development of new collagen during the healing process, offering a tighter, more toned overall appearance. In addition to treating wrinkles, lines, and scarring, DOT Therapy is a great option for skin renewal and rejuvenation, improving skin’s texture and firmness.
SmartXide DOT Therapy uses a specialized “dot” pattern to create hundreds of microscopic perforations in the treatment area while leaving the remaining surrounding tissue intact. This approach allows the skin to heal much more rapidly, and involves less discomfort than traditional laser treatments. The pinpoint dots also allow your specialist to create a treatment pattern which is much more precise, and designed to suit your individual needs.
Immediately after your treatment, you will notice some redness in the treatment area, similar to a sunburn. Cold compresses can be applied to help reduce redness. During the days following the procedure, you will use a hydrating lotion to keep your skin moist and aid in the healing process. The redness will persist for3 to 4 days, at which time the skin in the treatment area will begin to peel away, revealing new, fresh skin underneath.
In most men and women, you can expect your skin to assume its new, improved appearance in about 7 to 10 days after treatment. You may resume wearing makeup after about 3 days. In addition to the reduction or elimination of wrinkles, fine lines, sun and age damage, and some scarring, you will also notice an overall improvement in the texture and tone of your skin. With proper care, including regular use of sunscreen, you can expect your results to remain for years following treatment.
