How long does the procedure last?
The entire face can be treated in as little as 15 minutes, with results lasting years given proper skin care and sun protection.
Is the procedure painful?
Topical anaesthetic makes the procedure virtually painless. After treatment, you may experience a mild heat sensation similar to a sun burn, itchiness and dryness in the treated area.
How many treatments will need?
Thanks to the versatility of the SmartXide DOT you and your Clinician can decide how many treatments will be needed to meet your aesthetic expectations Outstanding results can be achieved in as little as one session but will require a longer healing period than if a milder multiple session treatment is elected.
What is the recovery time?
Since SmartXide DOT is micro-ablative, recovery time is significantly shorter than fully ablative technology? Within the first few days of treatment you may experience some redness and swelling with minimal pain. Each micro channel of ablation will quickly heal and you will be able to apply makeup on the treated surface and return to your normal lifestyle in as little as 1-2 days.
