Dr. Carreon completed her postgraduate training in University of Texas Medical Branch, and became board certified in Family Medicine. Throughout her years doing aesthetic procedures, she educates and assist patients in understanding how advances in minimally invasive surgical techniques could provide them, by using only local anesthesia, with safer and more reliable options to traditional surgery. She continually expands her knowledge base, by attending aesthetic conferences and advanced training seminars on procedures using only local anesthesia, without the risks of general anesthesia.

Dr. Melanie Carreon is among the first physicians in the U.S. to offer her patients DOT Therapy (Dermal Optical Thermolysis), the latest, state-of-the-art procedure in laser skin resurfacing and skin rejuvenation.

DOT Therapy is a highly effective tool for reversing signs of aging of the skin. The key is in the way the engineers have designed the laser application for the skin. And, skin numbing cream is all that is needed.

DOT Therapy has taken laser skin rejuvenation to a whole new level.

This new procedure precisely delivers CO2 laser energy targeting the face, neck, decolletage, hand and arms, opening up whole new areas for laser rejuvenation.

DOT Therapy effectively improves sun damage, brown spots, wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scarring with little downtime or discomfort -- usually in minutes.

Patients are pleased with the face and body skin tightening and improvement of crepe skin.

The SmartXide DOT laser system has the unique capability to deliver a customized pattern of tiny, micro-sized dots, rather than treating the entire skin surface, so healing is fast. DOT Therapy has been introduced through an alliance between Eclipsemed, Ltd., one of the country's leading aesthetic laser distributors, and DEKA, one of the world's largest laser manufacturers.
