Frequently Asked Questions:
Who can be treated with the DOT laser?
Because we can control the depth, spacing and size of the laser penetration, we are able to treat a large scope of skin types. Darker skin types require a skin test patch spot before proceeding with a full treatment - but we have successfully treated up to skin type V with this laser. Dr. Reinertson can help you decide if the DOT is right for you during a free consultation.
What is DOT Therapy?
DOT Therapy (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) is a fresh new way to transform skin and enhance its overall appearance. DOT Therapy can reverse the appearance of aged or sun-damaged skin, smooth wrinkles and fine lines and minimize acne scars. Because DOT Therapy delivers the desired outcome with minimal downtime, it is rapidly replacing traditional laser skin resurfacing as the treatment of choice for mild to moderate signs of photo damage.
What does it treat?
The DOT Therapy laser is the ideal approach for skin rejuvenation. Reverse the signs of aging and sun damaged skin, smooth out wrinkles, and/or minimize acne or other scars. Unlike older laser technologies, the DOT laser leaves islands of healthy tissue surrounding the microscopic treated area (the 'dots' of treated skin). This allows rapid skin recovery and minimal downtime. Excellent results are often achieved in a single session, and those needing severe correction and multiple sessions can rest easy knowing they won't have to take time off work or hide for days on end. DOT is finally an affordable (socially and financially) way to reverse the skin issues that bother us the most.
How Does DOT Therapy Work?
DOT Therapy is setting a new standard for skin rejuvenation in fractional laser resurfacing. During the procedure, your doctor will apply a pattern of tiny scanned pulses of laser energy to your skin with a controlled laser. The DOT procedure is customized to your skin by your doctor. The doctor can adjust the laser’s settings to tailor treatment and obtain the best results for you. Adjustments can be made throughout the procedure to more accurately treat specific areas such as acne scars on the cheeks or fine lines around the mouth.
The DOT Therapy laser precisely creates thousands of microscopic holes (DOT’s) in your skin, which induce immediate skin tightening and stimulate new collagen growth. Patients are often amazed at how tight their skin feels immediately after the procedure. DOT Therapy is designed to improve the skin’s texture and tone and to fight fine lines, deep wrinkles, and acne scars.
Unlike other laser resurfacing technologies, DOT Therapy leaves islands of healthy tissue surrounding the microscopic DOTs. This enables your skin to heal more rapidly and minimizes overall damage.
