The Italian method of skin rejuvenation, based on the use of laser exposure, has received many admirers 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 benefits, what effects can be achieved, and what complications are possible.
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 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 with the use of a microbeam laser, which allows skin cells to quickly heat up to 95 degrees. In this case, damaged protein compounds from the treated skin tissue are deposited and coagulated, and excess fluid accumulated in problem areas with toxins and destroyed cells is excreted.
DOT rejuvenation is compared to the production of thermal electroshocks, distributed evenly among all cells in the skin tissue, followed by the activation of enzymes that destroy damaged cell structures, causing a premature aging process.
To achieve maximum effect, all parameters and laser exposure time are selected individually for each patient.
When is the procedure recommended
The technique allows in a relatively short time to eliminate the main signs of wilting of the skin surface, namely:
- Pores;
- manifestations of ptosis (age-related sagging of the skin);
- pigmentation of various types;
- scar deformations and heterogeneity of the skin relief;
- vascular "asterisks";
- loss of elasticity;
- wrinkles of varying severity (from shallow 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 do not 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 advantages of handling
DOT rejuvenation is considered a gentle and safe procedure that can restore the skin surface and tissue 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 micro-areas of skin tissue destroyed, depending on which layers of the dermis need to be restored.
The readings of the device are controlled by a unique scanner which allows the adjustment:
- the area and individual areas of the epidermis requiring correction;
- the duration 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, which allows the epidermis to regenerate 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 ability to perform the procedure on any skin, including thin and hypersensitive.
This technique makes it possible to obtain not only a cosmetic, but also a pharmaceutical effect, ensuring the administration 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 obtained
One month after undergoing the DOT rejuvenation procedure, you can see the following results:
- complete renewal of the upper and deep layers of skin tissue, which is manifested by a change in the appearance and quality of the epidermis;
- an increase in the tone and elasticity of the skin due to the increased production of its own collagen fibers;
- complete removal of age spots and lightening of melasma resulting from 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
In addition to a large number of positive results on the skin, side effects may appear in the form of:
- slight redness and slight irritation in the treatment areas;
- activation of the herpes virus in people predisposed to this infection;
- swelling followed by the formation of scabs.
Make sure to follow all the recommendations and prescriptions of the beautician who performed the procedure in order to drastically reduce, and in some cases, avoid side effects!
When deciding on such a technique, you should understand that the success and effectiveness of the manipulation will depend almost entirely on the qualifications, experience and knowledge of the doctor of the clinic to which you applied. availability of the appropriate documentation from your chosen specialist!
Keep in mind that the maximum result after DOT rejuvenation will appear in six months and remain unchanged for 2--2. 5 years.
In conclusion, I would like to advise every woman who wishes to experience such a rejuvenation technique on herself to read the opinions of patients who have undergone this manipulation!
