SmartXide dot therapy purposely creates little damaged areas
and does so by using a CO2 fractional laser with a dot pattern to produce
hundreds of microscopic perforations in the area being treated. The tissue
outside of the dot pattern is left intact and untouched. The damage produced by
procedure causes the body to start the healing process, which triggers new
collagen to develop at the treatment site. Collagen is one of two proteins
naturally made by the body that give the skin its fullness and firmness. By
generating collagen, the skin is plumper, tighter and more toned.
For this, SmartXide dot therapy improves the appearance of
sun damaged skin, brown spots, acne scars and wrinkles.
Depending on the size of the area being treated, the
procedure can take up to one hour to complete. Immediately following treatment,
patients tend to notice their skin feels tighter, and they will continue to see
improved results over the next 2-3 weeks, as the healing process continues and
collagen builds.
The skin may appear red or swollen for the first few days
and, after four days, the skin will begin to heal as it regenerates
itself. Your specialist will instruct
you on how to deal with redness, swelling and peeling. SmartXide dot therapy
can usually achieve all of the patient’s needs without requiring other laser
resurfacing procedures. However, to get an overall lifted look, dermal fillers
can be used to compliment SmartXide.
