How does the DOT work?
The DOT laser precisely creates thousands of microscopic holes in your skin, leaving islands of healthy tissue surrounding the treated area. This enables your skin to heal rapidly and will provide immediate skin tightening and stimulate new collagen growth. Your results will be improved skin tone and texture and softening of fine lines, deep wrinkles, and acne scars.
How will my skin be after treatment?
You may experience some peeling for about 3-4 days. During your recovery you will apply a hydrating lotion to keep your skin moist and to promote rapid healing. In most cases, you may resume applying makeup after about 3 days.

The natural consequences of aging on our skin include sun damage, freckles, age spots, acne scarring, enlarged pores, and redness caused by broken capillaries and rosacea. Photorejuvenation reduces these signs of aging using non-invasive, painless pulses of light. Treatments can also improve the appearance of birthmarks and uneven pigmentation and stimulate the production of collagen.
How Does It Work?
The energy delivered will gently heat the upper layers of the skin. The heat is then absorbed by the targeted areas and will stimulate skin cells to regenerate new collagen. This energy will also target and minimize fine blood vessels that cause redness. Faces are very common to treat but many people are treat areas such as neck, chest, arms, shoulders, and hands.

What Is Recovery Like?
Photorejuvenation is a noninvasive and gentle procedure with little to no downtime. You will notice some redness immediately after that will resolve within a few hours. For some brown spots that were targeted, you will notice some darkening followed by fading and flaking off. Your skin will feel smoother, sunspots and uneven pigment will fade, and fine lines and pores will be less noticeable.

Chemical peels remove damaged outer layers of skin on the face to smooth texture, reduce scarring, and remove blemishes and pre-cancerous growths to produce healthy, glowing skin. Peel formulas and strengths are tailored to each patient. Peels can be combined with other procedures such as facelifts for a younger look. They may be covered by insurance if they are performed for medical rather than cosmetic reasons.
