The Italian skin rejuvenation method, which is based on the use of laser exposure, has received many admirers from all over the world due to its effectiveness and long-term preservation of the results. The purpose of this article is to tell readers what this procedure is, how it works, what the benefits are, what effects can be achieved, and what complications are possible.
The essence of the method
Laser skin rejuvenation or optical thermolysis of the skin is performed using a device called SmartXide DOT, hence the procedure is called DOT rejuvenation.
The laser beam exerts a targeted, metered thermal effect so that the surrounding tissues remain intact.
The technology of this technique is based on the thermal and histochemical effects of photothermolysis. During the manipulation, water is used using a microfiber laser, as a result of which the skin cells heat up rapidly to 95 degrees. In this case, the damaged protein compounds of the treated dermal tissue are deposited and clotted, and the excess fluid accumulated in the problem areas is excreted along with the toxins and the destroyed cells.
DOT rejuvenation is likened to producing a heroic electroshock that is evenly distributed among all the cells in the skin tissue, followed by activation of enzymes that destroy damaged cellular structures, causing a premature aging process.
To achieve maximum effect, each parameter and the duration of laser exposure are selected individually for each patient.
When the procedure is recommended
The technique makes it possible to eliminate the main signs of wilting of the skin surface in a relatively short time, namely:
- dilated 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 flexibility;
- wrinkles of varying severity (from shallow to deep furrows).
In which cases the technique is contraindicated
Unfortunately, not all women can perform this popular anti-aging procedure because dermatologists do not recommend:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- 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;
- a period of strong solar activity;
- tendency to hyperpigmentation.
What are the benefits of manipulation?
DOT rejuvenation can be seen as a gentle and safe procedure that can restore skin surface and tissues damaged during aging, restore the lost appearance and aesthetic appeal of the epidermis.
A huge advantage of the technique is its ability to control the depth of penetration of the laser dot and the number of microareas destroyed in the skin tissue, depending on which layers of the dermis need to be restored.
The device readings are controlled by a custom scanner that provides setting:
- the area of the epidermis in need of correction and certain areas;
- the length of the electrical pulses;
- concentration and density of skin processing (without gaps);
- selecting the necessary treatment regimen for each patient individually;
- skin microtraumas (without overlap).
During the manipulation, only 25% of the skin surface is damaged, thanks to which the epidermis regenerates several times faster.
The main advantages of the procedure are:
- a session under the supervision of an experienced professional, which in most cases is sufficient to achieve the desired result;
- long-term preservation of the effects obtained;
- the possibility of performing the procedure on any skin, including thin and hypersensitive ones.
This technique helps to achieve not only a cosmetic but also a pharmaceutical effect, ensuring the delivery of drugs to the deep layers of the skin structure. Manipulation, among other things, alleviates dyschromia and significantly reduces the severity of atrophic cicatricial formations.
What results can be achieved
One month after completing the DOT rejuvenation procedure, you will see the following results:
- complete renewal of the upper and deep layers of skin tissue, manifested by changes in the appearance and quality of the epidermis;
- an increase in skin tone and elasticity due to increased production of own collagen fibers;
- complete elimination of age spots and fading of melasma due to hormonal dysfunction;
- matching the topography and color of the skin surface;
- the appearance of new, healthy tissue in places and areas where scars are found.
Possible complications after manipulation
In addition to the many positive results on the skin, the following side effects may occur:
- mild redness and mild irritation in the treatment areas;
- activation of the herpes virus in individuals prone to this infection;
- swelling followed by crusting.
Be sure to follow all the recommendations and prescriptions of the beautician performing the procedure in order to significantly reduce and in some cases avoid side effects!
When choosing such a technique, you should understand that the success and effectiveness of the manipulation depends almost entirely on the qualifications, experience, and knowledge of the clinician, so take a responsible approach to this issue and be sure to check the availability of appropriate documentation. from a chosen specialist!
Note that the maximum result appears six months after DOT rejuvenation and remains unchanged for 2 - 2, 5 years.
Finally, I would like to advise any woman who wants to experience such a rejuvenating technique for herself to read the opinions of patients who have undergone this manipulation!
