SmartXide Laser is one of the common known CO2 Laser treatments widely used in the aesthetic industry. It uses dermal optical thermolysis, or what is abbreviated as DOT therapy, in order to treat multi skin conditions such as wrinkles, fine lines, enlarged pores pigmentation and acne scars.

Unlike the traditional CO2 Laser treatments that are ablative and can be painful, SmartXide Laser is considered as micro-ablative.

Dermal optical thermolysis is an epidermal process that promotes skin rejuvenation by punching small holes into your skin especially for regaining that youthful look and smoothing wrinkles and fine lines. It also helps in aiding overall smoothing effect to your skin.

Typically, local anesthetics or mild sedation will be used throughout the treatment

1. Skin examination and consultation with a doctor.
2. Topical anesthetic will be applied.
3. Desired areas will be pulsed with SmartXide laser. Total treatment time will depend on the treatment areas.

A1: Is it safe?
Q1: Yes, this laser has been proven safe for the face and body.

Q2: Will laser treatments make my skin thinner?
A2: No, this is just a myth. Laser treatments can actually strengthen the skin. Although this laser treatment removes the superficial layers, or ‘peel’ the skin, this actually encourages new cell growth to replace the damaged cells and increases collagen production. You can get healthier and younger-looking skin with regular sessions.

Q3: How long will side effects last, if any?
A3: Your skin may be mildly red and swelling may occur but will usually subside within a few days.

Q4: Will it be painful?
A4: No. Anesthetics will be administered, but you may feel a bit of discomfort during the procedure. However, the results are worth the short treatment.

Q5: How many treatments are required?
A5: This largely depends on your goals. You can get a re-evaluation after 6 months, or get repeated treatments every 2 to 4 months for traumatic scarring. A consultation with the doctor can give a good estimate.

Q6: When will I see the results?
A6: Results can be seen immediately after the procedure. Full results can later be seen as collagen regenerates to plump up the skin for up to 6 months.
