It`s all about the DOT!

Microablative Skin Rejuvenation

The SmartXide DOT laser is a CO2 fractional ablation laser that combines the effectiveness of the old traditional CO2 resurfacing lasers with the safety of fractional lasers. There is reduced downtime, faster healing time, and increased safety compared to traditional CO2 resurfacing and results are more dramatic than with a non-ablative laser.

How does it work?

Tiny columns or dots of laser energy vaporize the damaged skin and stimulate the growth of fresh, new collagen. Since only a fraction of the skin is treated, the non-treated adjacent skin promotes fast healing. It is more than skin resurfacing, it is deep skin rejuvenation.

What does it improve?

SmartXide is used to reduce wrinkles and lines, tighten loose, crêpey skin, and treat sun damage, pigmentation, brown age spots, and scarring in individuals with a fair complexion. It is not used on very dark complexions. Within a week, skin is smoother, healthier and younger.

Why is SmartXide a unique laser?

The flexibility of SmartXide allows for individualized treatments. Patients may choose to have a series of mild treatments with very little downtime, or one more aggressive treatment with a longer recovery time.

What areas can be treated?

Popular areas are the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, but any area can be treated. Small isolated areas such as crow’s feet or lip lines can be treated, or large areas for improved texture and firmness.

Is the procedure painful?

There is minimal discomfort. An anaesthetic cream is used to numb the skin and Advil is advised.

What happens after the treatment?

Immediately after the treatment, your skin will be red and will feel warm, similar to a sunburn. There will be some swelling for a few days and then some dryness and perhaps itchiness. Home care consists of cold compresses and a hydrating cream which will help the skin heal. Make-up can usually be applied after 3 days. The dryness peels in about 4 days, revealing fresh, new skin underneath. The redness lasts for 1 to 2 weeks but can be camouflaged with make-up. An oral antiviral medication for herpes simplex is always taken for 5 days, starting 2 days before treatment.

When will you see the results?

In 7 to 10 days, there will be a dramatic improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation and scarring. You will notice an overall improvement in radiance and texture, and skin will have a young, healthy glow. The results will continue to improve over time and will remain for several years given proper skin care and sun protection.

Can SmartXide be combined with other treatments?

Definitely! Anti-Wrinkle injections and fillers complement SmartXide. Procedures such as light chemical peels, microdermabrasion and intense pulsed light will help maintain your results. Antiaging products containing retinol, glycolic acid and antioxidants keep your skin healthy and fresh. 

No one is a fan of the aging process. Men and women alike constantly fight the idea and realities of growing old. As the years start to show themselves on our face there isn’t anything we wouldn’t consider to turn back time. When we reach a certain age, which of course varies for each of us, a telltale sign of the years under our belt (and stresses that came with it) is our eyes. Once the focal point of our aesthetic, the eyes are now the place where wrinkles, fine lines and Crow’s feet grow. It is also the area that lets the world know just how fatigued we are with its drooping skin and puffy circles. In the past, many have turned to traditional eyelid surgery to restore a youthful appearance, but such invasive procedures leave many weary of costs involved, side effects and recovery length. Now, however, men and women have been turning to non-invasive procedures to save time and money.

“Madonna Lift,” a new fractional eyelift procedure that acts as a safe and effective alternative to conventional eyelid surgery. SmartXide Fractional CO2 uses laser light to target a very specific area, while leaving surrounding tissue intact. These beams eliminate damaged collagen and elastic fibers in the skin so that fresh tissue with new elasticity can grow back in its place. As a result, the Madonna Lift dramatically reduces the appearance of dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles, tightens upper and lower eyelid skin, and helps to elevate drooping eyebrows.

Whereas surgical procedures can often take at least two weeks to heal with a painful recovery process, this non-surgical procedure takes only days and is virtually painless. The only anesthesia needed for the Madonna Lift is topical numbing cream that is applied to the eyelids, making it a safe and effective alternative to eyelid surgery without many of the risks, scarring and downtime.

In order to achieve the best results from the Madonna Lift, three to five sessions are recommended, delivered at two to three week intervals. With results you have to see to believe, this quick and easy procedure is helping patients find their own version of the fountain of youth and have left them thrilled to look in the mirror.
