The Italian skin rejuvenation method, based on laser exposure, has gained many fans all over the world due to its effectiveness and long-term protection of the results. The purpose of this article is to explain to readers what this procedure is, how it works, what are its advantages, what effects can be achieved, and what possible complications.
The essence of the method
Laser skin rejuvenation or dermal optical thermolysis is performed with a device called SmartXide DOT, hence the procedure is called DOT rejuvenation.
The laser beam has a targeted, dosed thermal effect, leaving the surrounding tissue untouched.
The technology of this technique is based on the thermal and histochemical effects of photothermolysis. During the manipulation, water is applied in combination with the use of microbial radiation, as a result of which the skin cells are heated to 95 degrees. In this condition, the damaged protein compounds of the treated dermal tissue accumulate and clot, and the excess fluid accumulated in the problem areas, along with toxins and destroyed cells, is discarded.
DOT rejuvenation is compared to the production of a thermal electroshock that is evenly distributed among all cells of skin tissue, followed by the activation of enzymes that destroy damaged cell structures and cause premature aging.
All parameters and duration of laser exposure are selected individually for each patient to achieve maximum effect.
When the procedure is recommended
The technique allows you to eliminate the main signs of fading of the skin surface in a very short time, namely:
- enlarged pores;
- manifestations of ptosis (age-related sagging of the skin);
- different types of pigmentation;
- cicatricial deformities and heterogeneity of skin relief;
- vascular "stars";
- loss of elasticity;
- wrinkles of varying severity (from shallow to deep cracks).
In which cases the technique is contraindicated
Unfortunately, not every woman will be able to undergo this popular anti-aging procedure, as dermatologists do not recommend it:
- pregnancy and breastfeeding;
- various diseases of the epidermis (eczema, seborrhea, rosacea and others);
- acute stage of herpes;
- mental disorders;
- dermatosis in the acute stage;
- oncological processes in the body;
- period of strong solar activity;
- prone to hyperpigmentation.
What are the benefits of manipulation
DOT rejuvenation is a gentle and safe procedure that can restore the damaged skin surface and tissues during aging by restoring the lost appearance and aesthetic appeal of the epidermis.
A great advantage of the technique is the ability to adjust the penetration depth of the laser point and the number of destroyed micro-areas of skin tissue, depending on the layers of dermis to be restored.
The readings of the device are controlled by a unique scanner that provides adjustment:
- individual areas of the epidermis that require correction;
- length of electrical impulses;
- concentration and density of skin processing (excluding gaps);
- selection of the necessary regimen for each patient individually;
- microtraumas of the skin (without overlapping).
Only 25% of the skin surface is damaged during manipulation, as a result of which the epidermis regenerates several times faster.
The main advantages of the procedure are:
- a session under the supervision of an experienced specialist is often sufficient to achieve the desired result;
- long-term protection of the obtained effects;
- Ability to apply the procedure to any skin, including thin and sensitive.
This technique helps to achieve not only cosmetic but also pharmaceutical effects, ensuring that the skin is delivered to the deeper layers of the skin. Manipulation, among other things, relieves dyschromia and also significantly reduces the severity of atrophic cicatricial formations.
What results can be obtained
One month after the DOT rejuvenation procedure, you can see the following results:
- complete renewal of the upper and deeper layers of skin tissue, which manifests itself in changes in the appearance and quality of the epidermis;
- increase in skin tone and elasticity as a result of increased production of its own collagen fibers;
- complete removal of age spots and relief of melasma caused by hormonal dysfunction;
- matching the relief and color of the skin surface;
- appearance of a new, healthy tissue in the area and areas with scars.
Possible complications after manipulation
In addition to the many positive results on the skin, side effects can appear as follows:
- slight redness and slight irritation in the treated areas;
- activation of the herpes virus in those prone to this infection;
- swelling accompanied by the formation of crusts.
Make sure you follow all the recommendations and recipes of the cosmetologist performing the procedure to significantly reduce the operation and in some cases avoid any side effects!
When deciding on such a technique, you should understand that the success and effectiveness of the manipulation will almost certainly depend on the qualifications, experience, knowledge of the doctor of the clinic you are applying to, so be responsible and make sure you check the tests. availability of relevant documents from the specialist of your choice!
Keep in mind that after DOT rejuvenation, the maximum result will be visible in six months and will remain unchanged for 2 - 2, 5 years.
Finally, I advise every woman who wants to experience such a rejuvenating technique to read the reviews of patients who have undergone this manipulation!
