DOT Laser Resurfacing®

DOT laser therapy can be easily combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to further stimulate the production of healthy new skin cells. PRP can help support the mechanisms that create new collagen, leading to faster, more noticeable results.

Downtime is very minimal with DOT laser therapy. You may have some slight redness and swelling, but this subsides quickly. It’s most important to keep your skin protected from sunlight during your recovery.

The number of sessions needed can depend on your unique goals, but many patients see noticeable results with only a single treatment. If you opt for additional treatments, we recommend you space them one month apart. We also recommend you return for yearly maintenance treatments to continually stimulate collagen and prevent further signs of aging.

The DOT stands for Dermal Optical Thermolysis, a technique where the laser creates thousands of microscopic perforations on the skin, which promotes natural collagen production and cell renewal while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This encourages rapid healing, and as the skin heals, it appears smoother, firmer, and more youthful.

Generally, DOT Laser Resurfacing is virtually painless, especially with the application of a topical anesthetic before the treatment. The procedure works by creating micro-injuries in the skin to promote natural collagen production and skin regeneration, which may cause a sensation similar to tiny pinpricks or a mild sunburn. While pain tolerance varies from person to person, the sensation experienced is typically manageable and subsides quickly after the procedure.

The recovery time after DOT Laser Resurfacing typically varies depending on the individuals skin type and the treatment intensity. Generally, patients can expect the initial healing phase to last about 5 to 7 days, during which the skin may appear red and swollen, similar to a sunburn. As the skin begins to heal, you may experience some peeling or flaking as new, rejuvenated skin surfaces. Its crucial during this time to follow post-treatment care instructions, including moisturizing and sun protection, to ensure optimal results and minimize downtime. Full recovery may take a few weeks.

DOT Laser Resurfacing often yields noticeable results within a few days to a week after the procedure. While you can expect some initial redness and swelling immediately after the treatment, these effects usually subside within a week. Visible improvements in skin texture, tone, and tightness typically become more apparent as the healing progresses, with optimal results often seen after about three months.

DOT Laser Resurfacing is a versatile treatment that can indeed be combined with other non-surgical facial procedures to enhance overall results. By blending treatments such as injectables like Botox or dermal fillers with DOT Laser Resurfacing, patients can address multiple skin concerns simultaneously, achieving a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

Proper aftercare is crucial following DOT Laser Resurfacing to ensure optimal healing and maximize results. Immediately after the procedure, its normal to experience redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, similar to a sunburn. To care for your skin, gently cleanse your face with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser to remove any impurities without irritating the treated area. Keeping your skin moisturized is also essential, so apply a thick, hydrating moisturizer to prevent drying and ensure the skin remains supple. It is also important to avoid picking or scratching at any scabs or peeling skin to prevent scarring. Additionally, protect your skin from sun exposure by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF, as the treated skin will be especially sensitive to UV rays.
