SmartXide DOT is a fractional Co2 laser system. Using the latest technology, Co2 lasers are the most powerful systems on the market and they’re producing fantastic results. The Co2 laser is able to stimulate and rejuvenate by targeting small areas from a small wand – like device that is passed over the treatment area.
The laser creates thousands of microscopic spots and by hitting only small areas in depth during treatment it eliminates the usual side effects of laser resurfacing such as pain, scabs and swelling.
SmartXide DOT works without removing the entire skin surface so skin redness after treatment only lasts a few days. SmartXide’s fractional DOT technology is quick and precise, so we can treat the whole neck and face in under an hour.
During the treatment the high energy laser damages the outer layers of the skin , which peel away as the skin heals. The laser also heats the dermis which stimulates new collagen production. As new skin cells develop the face will become smoother, firmer and more youthful in appearance.
Recommended for: sun damaged skin, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation marks on the face and hands and décolleté. It’s a treatment that is effective for all skin types although care is required for those who like tanning often.
Results: You’ll most likely be able to see an improvement in skin tone and texture as soon as the redness fades after one treatment. As the laser stimulates collagen production you’ll see a continuous improvement in the texture and smoothness of the skin over several months. Wrinkles and lines will be reduced as well as acne scars and dark marks.
How Often: Depending on the degree of damage to the skin and the results required we will recommend a treatment program that suits you. Most people require 3 – 4 treatments, spaced 4 – 6 weeks apart.
Is the treatment painful? You can expect to feel a stinging sensation that only lasts a few seconds. However a topical anaesthetic cream can be applied before treatment.
Recovery Time: Post-treatment redness only lasts a few days and can be covered with cosmetics. Some slight swelling may occur for a few days following treatment. It is important to protect your skin with SPF 30 after the treatment and we will recommend the correct creams to ensure your skin is properly moisturised.
