DOT Therapy is taking laser skin resurfacing to a different level.
The procedure precisely delivers CO2 laser energy to targeted areas on the face or non-facial areas like the neck and décolletage, and effectively treats sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scarring. Unlike other skin resurfacing CO2 lasers, the DOT system is unique because it ablates a customized pattern of tiny, micro-sized dots, rather than the entire skin surface.
After a DOT Therapy procedure, thousands of microscopic perforations stimulate new collagen growth to help improve skin's texture and tone. DOT Therapy leaves the skin around each of the perforations intact, which can allow the epidermis to regenerate, resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Although the DOT Therapy technology is brand new, the benefits are proven and clear to Dr. Melanie Carreon and her patients. "Downtime for patients undergoing this procedure is minimal," said Dr. Carreon. "There is minimal discomfort, redness lasts a few days versus a few weeks, and the results are apparent."
DOT Therapy's innovative new technology can also allow the physician a greater level of precision and control, which can enable doctors to customize the treatment for the patient. "I can target problem areas on the face or non-facial areas like "crepey" neck and hyper-pigmentation on the décolletage," said Dr. Carreon.
One of the newest laser treatments on the market is DOT ( Dermal Optical Thermolysis). This procedure is the most exciting laser treatment to date..
Candidates are anyone with sun damage, smoker's wrinkles, crows feet, age spots, turkey neck, (crepey neck) kissing lines (lip lines) acne scares, and or general scare, and more. There is nearly nothing that DOT can't help. It literally takes years off your looks.
The old lasers would leave the skin looking burned and at risk of infection. It generally took around two weeks of healing and pain, and several months before the sunburned coloring would subside.
