CO2 Laser with DOT Therapy

What is CO2 Laser with DOT Therapy?

CO2 Laser with DOT Therapy creates thousands of microscopic perforations utilizing a dot pattern to resurface the skin. Since the treatment leaves microscopic columns of untreated tissue within the treated areas, the epidermis heals quicker and promotes new collagen growth faster than conventional treatment methods. This results in an immediate improvement in skin tightening.

When will I see results?

The heat delivered into the dermis causes collagen in the middle layer of the skin to straighten for an immediate tightening effect. The heat also stimulates the skin cells to produce new collagen. This effect starts about three to four weeks after the treatment and will continue for months. The collagen stimulation will turn back the clock and produce gradual skin tightening.

How long is each treatment?

The entire treatment lasts about 20 to 30 minutes. On the day of the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied one hour before the treatment to ensure comfort. After the treatment, your skin will be cooled for 25 minutes, and applied topical ointment.
