The Italian method of skin rejuvenation, based on the use of laser exposure, has gained numerous admirers all over the world for its effectiveness and long-lasting 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 the possible complications are.
The essence of the method
Laser skin rejuvenation or dermal optical thermolysis is performed using a device called SmartXide DOT, which is why the procedure is called DOT rejuvenation.
The laser beam has a targeted, 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 along with a micro-beam laser, causing the skin cells to heat up quickly 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 across all skin tissue cells, followed by activation of enzymes that destroy damaged cell structures, causing a process of premature aging.
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 in a relatively short time to remove the main signs of wilting of the skin surface, namely:
- enlarged pores;
- manifestations of ptosis (relaxation of the skin associated with aging);
- different types of pigmentation;
- cicatricial deformities and heterogeneity of skin relief;
- vascular "asterisks";
- loss of elasticity;
- wrinkles of different strengths (from shallow to deep furrows).
In which cases the technique is contraindicated
Unfortunately, not every woman will be able to undergo this popular anti-aging procedure, because dermatologists do not recommend it for:
- pregnancy and lactation;
- various diseases of the epidermis (eczema, seborrhea, rosacea and others);
- acute phase of herpes;
- mental disorders;
- acute dermatosis;
- oncological processes in the body;
- period of strong solar activity;
- propensity to hyperpigmentation.
What are the advantages of manipulation
DOT rejuvenation is considered a gentle and safe procedure that can restore the surface of 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 regulate the depth of penetration of 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.
Device readings are controlled by a unique scanner that allows you to set:
- the area and individual areas of the epidermis that need to be repaired;
- electrical pulse length;
- concentration and density of skin treatment (excluding gaps);
- selection of the required regimen for each patient individually;
- microtrauma to the skin (without their overlap).
During the manipulation, only 25% of the skin surface is damaged, which is why the epidermis regenerates several times faster.
The main advantages of the procedure are:
- one session conducted under the supervision of an experienced expert, which in most cases is sufficient to achieve the desired result;
- long-term preservation of the achieved 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 into the deep layers of the skin structure. Manipulation relieves, among other things, dyschromia, and also significantly reduces the severity of atrophic cicatricial formations.
What results can be achieved
One month after undergoing DOT rejuvenation, you can see the following results:
- complete restoration of the upper and deep layers of skin tissue, which is manifested by a change in the appearance and quality of the epidermis;
- increased skin tone and elasticity as a result of increased production of its own collagen fibers;
- complete removal of age spots and lightening of melasma resulting from hormonal dysfunction;
- smoothing 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
With a large number of positive results on the skin, side effects can occur in the form of:
- mild redness and slight irritation in the treatment areas;
- activation of the herpes virus in persons predisposed to this infection;
- swelling followed by crusting.
Be sure to follow all the recommendations and recipes of the beautician who performed the procedure to significantly reduce and in some cases avoid any side effects!
When deciding on such a technique, you should understand that the success and efficiency of the manipulation will almost entirely depend on the qualifications, experience, knowledge of the doctor of the clinic you applied to, so approach this question responsibly and be sure to check the availability of appropriate documentation from your chosen specialist!
Note 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 any woman who wants to experience such a rejuvenation technique to read reviews of patients who have undergone this manipulation!
