Smartxide DOT uses a CO2 laser system which treats tiny areas or "islands" of skin tissue while leaving the surrounding tissue untouched, resulting in a much speedier healing time, compared to conventional ablative laser treatment. The treatment encourages 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.
Treatment programmes are individually designed to suit the nature and severity of the skin defects. Each treatment session takes about 30 minutes and anaesthetic cream is used for more sensitive skin.
Post-treatment redness only lasts a few days and the use of suitable sunscreen and moisturiser is needed for a short period of time after the treatment.
Increased skin tone and fading of skin marks may occur as early as after the first treatment. As the laser stimulates collagen production, progressive improvement of the skin continues for at least six months after the last treatment.
