CO2 Fractional Resurfacing with DEKA™ Dot SmartXide

Our DEKA Smartxide DOT Laser Fractional Resurfacing Treatment is a non-invasive laser therapy designed to dramatically improve skin texture and pigmentation, including the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars and sun damage.

A Major Advance

The DEKA Smartxide DOT Laser is a breakthrough in skin resurfacing devices. Some varieties of CO2 lasers are ablative; they remove the top layer of the skin, the epidermis, and some of the dermis layer beneath. While these CO2 lasers achieve good results, the skin is left red, raw, and prone to infection for weeks after the procedure. Some areas of the skin, such as the neck and décolletage, could not be treated with this type of lasers because they s do not heal well. Less aggressive devices use the non-ablative method. Instead of removing the epidermis, they send pulses of light into the dermis, leaving the skin intact. Recovery from non-ablative laser resurfacing is quick and easy, however, since the light does not penetrate all that far into the dermis, improvements in texture and tone are often disappointing. The DEKA Smartxide DOT Laser, however, offers the ultimate in skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

How It Works

With the DEKA Smartxide DOT, only a fraction of the skin receives the laser light (hence “fractional skin resurfacing”). The laser utilizes a ‘dot’ pattern to create thousands of microscopic perforations in the skin while leaving the areas around each ‘dot’ intact. Very precise microbeams penetrate deeply below the epidermis without damaging the surface skin.  After treatment, the skin heals rapidly from the edge of these tiny ‘dots’. The healthy cells in the untouched spots promote rapid healing of the entire treatment area, resulting in faster recovery time and minimal side effects.

The overall procedure is safer, faster and more efficient than treatment with a conventional ablative laser. With DEKA Smartxide DOT, the entire face can be treated in approximately 50 minutes.

Q: What Can I Expect After Treatment?

A: Treatments with the DEKA SmartXide DOT have minimal recovery time. Results are immediate and progressive. Immediately following treatment, patients may experience mild swelling and have a sunburn-like appearance.  Over the following weeks and months, the body repairs the deeper dermal tissues that have been affected by the treatment, producing longer beneficial changes associated with a healthy, youthful appearance.
