The Italian method of skin rejuvenation, based on the use of laser exposure, has received many admirers around the world for 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 its benefits are, what effects can be achieved, and what complications are possible.
Essence of the method
Laser skin rejuvenation or skin optic thermolysis is performed using a device called SmartXide DOT, which is why the procedure is called DOT rejuvenation.
The laser beam has a targeted and measured thermal effect, leaving the surrounding tissue intact.
The technology of this technique is based on the thermal and histochemical effect of photothermolysis. During manipulation, water is applied together with the use of a micro-beam laser, as a result of which the skin cells quickly heat up 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 the toxins and destroyed cells is excreted.
DOT rejuvenation is compared to the production of thermal electroshock, evenly distributed among all the cells of the skin tissue, followed by the activation of enzymes that destroy the damaged cell structures, causing a premature aging process.
For maximum effect, all parameters and duration of laser exposure are selected individually for each patient.
When is the procedure recommended
The technique allows in a fairly short time to eliminate the main signs of wilting of the skin surface, namely:
- enlarged pores;
- manifestations of ptosis (age-related sagging of the skin);
- various types of pigmentation;
- scar deformities and heterogeneity of the skin relief;
- vascular "asterisks";
- loss of elasticity;
- wrinkles of varying severity (from superficial to deep furrows).
In which cases the technique is contraindicated
Unfortunately, not all women will be able to undergo this popular anti-aging procedure, as dermatologists don't recommend it for:
- 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;
- a period of strong solar activity;
- tendency to hyperpigmentation.
What are the benefits of manipulation
DOT rejuvenation is considered a gentle and safe procedure capable of restoring the skin surface 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 of the laser spot and the number of destroyed micro areas of skin tissue, depending on the layers of the dermis that need to be restored.
Device readings are controlled by a single scanner that provides adjustment:
- the area and individual areas of the epidermis that require correction;
- the length of the electrical impulses;
- concentration and density of leather processing (excluding gaps);
- selection of the required regimen for each patient individually;
- microtrauma of the skin (without overlapping them).
During 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 enough to achieve the desired result;
- long-term preservation of the effects obtained;
- the possibility of carrying out the procedure on any skin, even 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. Manipulation relieves, among other things, dyschromia and also significantly reduces the severity of atrophic scar formations.
What results can be achieved
One month after undergoing the DOT rejuvenation procedure, you can see the following results:
- complete renewal of the upper and deep layers of the skin tissue, which manifests itself in a change in the appearance and quality of the epidermis;
- an increase in the tone and elasticity of the skin due to the increase in the production of its own collagen fibers;
- complete elimination of age spots and lightening of melasma resulting from hormonal dysfunctions;
- alignment of the relief and color of the skin surface;
- the appearance of new healthy tissues in places and areas with scars, scars.
Possible complications after manipulation
Along with a large number of positive results on the skin, side effects may appear in the form of:
- slight redness and slight irritation in the areas to be treated;
- activation of the herpes virus in people predisposed to this infection;
- swelling followed by crusting.
Be sure to follow all the recommendations and prescriptions of the beautician who performed the procedure in order to significantly reduce 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 completely depend on the qualifications, experience, knowledge of the doctor of the clinic you are approaching, so approach this issue responsibly and be sure to check the availability of the appropriate documentation from the chosen specialist!
Keep in mind that the maximum result after DOT rejuvenation will appear in six months and will remain unchanged for 2 - 2, 5 years.
In conclusion, I would like to advise every woman who wants to experience such a rejuvenating technique on herself to read the reviews of patients who have undergone this manipulation!
