The Italian method of skin rejuvenation, based on the use of laser exposure, has gained many fans around the world due to its effectiveness and long-term preservation of results. The purpose of this article is to tell readers what this procedure is, how it works, what are its advantages, what effects can be achieved and what complications are possible.
Nature of the method
Laser skin rejuvenation or skin optical thermolysis is performed using a device called SmartXide DOT, which is why the procedure is called DOT rejuvenation.
The laser beam has a directed, dosed thermal effect, leaving the surrounding tissue intact.
The technology of this technique is based on the thermal and histochemical effect of photothermolysis. During the manipulation, water is applied together with the use of a microradiation laser, as a result of which the skin cells are quickly heated to 95 degrees. In this case, the damaged protein compounds of the treated dermal tissue are deposited and coagulated, and the excess fluid accumulated in the problem areas, along with toxins and destroyed cells, is excreted.
DOT rejuvenation is compared to the production of heat shock, evenly distributed among all cells of skin tissue, followed by activation of enzymes that destroy damaged cell structures, provoking the premature aging process.
To achieve maximum effect, all parameters and duration of laser exposure are selected individually for each patient.
When the procedure is recommended
The technique allows for a relatively short time to eliminate the main signs of wilting on the surface of the skin, namely:
- enlarged pores;
- manifestations of ptosis (age-related sagging of the skin);
- different types of pigmentation;
- scar deformities and heterogeneity of the skin relief;
- vascular "asterisks";
- loss of elasticity;
- wrinkles of varying severity (from shallow to deep furrows).
In what 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 for:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- various diseases of the epidermis (eczema, seborrhea, rosacea and others);
- acute stage of herpes;
- mental disorders;
- dermatosis in the acute stages;
- oncological processes in the body;
- period of strong solar activity;
- tendency to hyperpigmentation.
What are the benefits of manipulation
DOT rejuvenation is considered a gentle and safe procedure that can restore the surface of the skin and tissues damaged during aging, restoring the lost appearance and aesthetic appeal of the epidermis.
A huge advantage of the technique is the ability to adjust the depth of penetration into the laser point and the number of destroyed micro-areas of skin tissue, depending on the layers of the dermis that need to be restored.
The readings of the device are controlled by a unique scanner that provides setup:
- the area and individual areas of the epidermis requiring correction;
- the length of the electrical pulses;
- concentration and density of skin treatment (excluding gaps);
- selection of the necessary regimen for each patient individually;
- microtraumas of the skin (without overlapping them).
During the manipulation only 25% of the skin surface is damaged, due to which the epidermis regenerates several times faster.
The main advantages of the procedure are:
- a session conducted under the supervision of an experienced specialist, which in most cases is sufficient to achieve the desired result;
- long-term preservation of the obtained effects;
- the ability to perform the procedure on any skin, including thin and hypersensitive.
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. The manipulation relieves, among other things, dyschromia, and also significantly reduces the severity of atrophic scar formations.
What results can be achieved
One month after you have undergone the DOT rejuvenation procedure, you can see the following results:
- complete renewal of the upper and deep layers of skin tissue, which manifests itself in a change in the appearance and quality of the epidermis;
- increase in skin tone and elasticity as a result of increased production of own collagen fibers;
- complete removal of age spots and lightening of melasma as a result of hormonal dysfunction;
- alignment of the relief and color of the skin surface;
- the appearance of new, healthy tissue in places and areas with scars, scars.
Possible complications after manipulation
Along with a large number of positive results on the skin, side effects can occur in the form of:
- slight redness and slight irritation in the treated areas;
- activation of the herpes virus in people predisposed to this infection;
- puffiness followed by crusting.
Be sure to follow all the recommendations and prescriptions of the cosmetic who performed the procedure to significantly reduce and in some cases avoid any side effects!
When deciding on such a technique, you must understand that the success and effectiveness of the manipulation will depend almost entirely on the qualifications, experience, knowledge of the doctor of the clinic where you applied, so approach this issue responsibly and do not forget to checkdocumentation from the specialist of your choice!
Keep in mind that the maximum result after DOT rejuvenation will appear after six months and will remain unchanged for 2 - 2. 5 years.
In conclusion, I would like to advise any woman who wants to experience such a rejuvenating technique on herself to read the reviews of patients who have undergone this manipulation!
