Smartxide Dot Therapy
As we get older, and sometimes during pregnancy, changes of our facial skin occur that make us look older. The goal of any facial rejuvenation procedure is to reverse or prevent these changes to give us a more youthful appearing face and skin. There are many processes that cause the “aged” look. These include the formation of wrinkles, facial pigmentations, and a loss of volume. If you are concerned about these changes and want to rejuvenate your face, we have some answers.
Laser resurfacing techniques can help improve many of these aging changes. The newest form of these techniques utilizes fractional laser technologies. Essentially the computer controlled laser forms thousands of tiny holes in the skin that allow the new rejuvenated skin to fill in and heal over these holes to result in a rejuvenated effect. These treatments result in less downtime than older technologies and are generally the preferred choice by most patients and physicians. I utilize one of the best types of laser for this procedure called the SmartXide DOT laser.
