SMARTXIDE DOT™ SCIENCE
Traditional fractional CO₂ treatment has evolved with DOT (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) Therapy. The science behind the success of DOT Therapy is the SmartXide DOT™ CO₂ laser.
CO₂ laser technology has been the gold standard in skin resurfacing for over fifteen years, but only DOT Therapy uses the optimal spot size for better energy distribution to treat a wider range of patients for both collagen remodeling and the appearance of aging.

Collagen Shrinkage Effect and Stimulation
The SmartXide laser offers: * Ideal pulse characteristics for skin rejuvenation * “Optimal” laser spot size of 350 μm * Controlled DOT of ablation, while thermally injuring tissue deep within the dermis
DOT Therapy’s scientifically-chosen spot diameter is characterized by a “bowl-shaped” thermal footprint. The dimensions of the thermally affected area generated by this pulse result in producing the ideal volume of thermally affected tissue cells which will ultimately stimulate the process of neo-collagenesis.

SmartXide DOT "bowl-shaped" footprint
Some CO₂ lasers leave deep, tiny, “column-shaped” thermal footprints that cause pain or bruising and are comprised in their ability to stimulate optimal neo-collagenesis. Other lasers utilize shallow “saucer-shaped” spots that leave behind wide epidermal wounds with significant overlapping of thermal zones. When coupled with the laser’s featured Infinite Delivery Options (IDO) feature, the clinician is equipped with the ultimate in system versatility and clinical control -- for safe, predictable outcomes and minimal downtime.
