Smart Xide Dot CO2 Laser Treatment - Scars
Smart Xide Dot CO2 Laser Treatment - Laser skin Resurfacing
The treatment of photo-ageing has been a challenge for some time. Laser treatments with the CO2 laser have been the gold-standard since the early 1990s. The efficacy of this did not come without problems, resulting in significant morbidity and downtime in the post-operative period, often lasting between three to six weeks. Ablative CO2 laser treatment results in persistent redness in the majority of patients lasting longer than the immediate recovery period. Other side-effects include delayed onset post treatment hyperpigmentation and scarring. Faced with the significant side-effects of ablative lasers, and the disappointing response with non-ablative lasers, new ground was found where clinical effects could be achieved with a reasonable side-effect profile. With the development of fractionated lasers, whereby a pattern of epidermal damage is created, the Smart Xide laser is one of the lasers that represents the latest in tissue rejuvenation laser technology.
