Laugh lines, crow’s feet, brown spots, and wrinkles are inevitable signs of aging, but all that is about to change thanks to the most advanced technology in laser skin resurfacing.

Laugh lines, crow’s feet, brown spots, and wrinkles are inevitable signs of aging, but all that is about to change thanks to the most advanced technology in laser skin resurfacing. Introduced by DEKA, one of the world’s largest and best-known laser manufacturers, DOT Therapy (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) is now the state-of-the-art procedure in laser skin resurfacing.

The board-certified physicians of The Plastic Surgery Group are among the first specialists in the United States to use DOT Therapy on patients to treat wrinkles and other skin imperfections.

The SmartXide DOT laser system is an advanced CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser that has received clearance from the Food & Drug Administration. The CO2 laser is the most common type of laser used for skin resurfacing: thoroughly proven and tested. CO2 lasers of the past covered the entire surface of the skin, resulting in a significant amount of downtime to heal, discomfort for the patient and prolonged redness of the skin. In addition, the old CO2 lasers could not treat non-facial areas like the neck and décolletage easily because skin in these areas did not heal as well as the face. 

DOT Therapy has taken laser skin resurfacing to a whole new level. This new 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...right in the office. Unlike any other skin resurfacing CO2 laser, the SmartXide DOT laser system is unique because it ablates a customized pattern of tiny, micro-sized dots, rather than the entire skin surface.  This results in excellent improvement in the skin’s texture, laxity, wrinkles and acne scars with very short recovery times (usually 4-7 days).
