What is "DOT Therapy"? "DOT Therapy" (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) is a new and exciting way of reversing the appearance of aged or sun-damaged skin, smoothing wrinkles, and reducing the appearance of acne or other scars. "DOT Therapy" is performed using the SmartXide DOT laser system. Because "DOT Therapy" delivers the desired outcome with minimal downtime, it is rapidly replacing traditional laser skin resurfacing as the treatment of choice for mild to moderate signs of photo damage and aging skin.
How does "DOT Therapy" work? "DOT Therapy" is the ideal approach for skin rejuvenation. During the procedure, Dr. Rogers will apply a pattern of tiny scanned pulses of laser energy to your skin. The "DOT Therapy" laser precisely creates thousands of microscopic holes (DOT’s) in your skin, which induce immediate skin tightening and stimulate new collagen growth. "DOT Therapy" is designed to improve the skin’s texture and tone and to fight fine lines, deep wrinkles, and acne scars.
What will "DOT Therapy" do for me? If you have spent years in the sun, especially without adequate sun protection, then you know what it can do to your skin. Wrinkles, skin discoloration, sun-spots, and skin laxity may be reduced or eliminated with "DOT Therapy". Also, if you have scars from acne or other skin injuries, then you may also be a candidate for this procedure. Now, with "DOT Therapy", an innovative, new laser procedure, your skin’s youthful appearance can be restored in less than one hour in your doctor’s office. While the aging process cannot be stopped, with proper care you can maintain your rejuvenated skin’s appearance for many years.
How many treatments are required with "DOT Therapy"? In most cases, excellent results can be achieved in a single session. However, persons with severe wrinkling or deep acne scars may benefit from a series of treatments spaced about one month apart. Your doctor will advise you on what results you can reasonably expect.
