Overview

Powerful fractional CO2 laser resurfacing for smoother, firmer and more refined skin

The SmartXIDE DOT fractional CO2 laser is one of the most powerful resurfacing technologies available in non-surgical aesthetics. It works by delivering precisely controlled columns of laser energy into the skin, coagulating and removing microscopic sections while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. This fractional approach triggers the skin's natural healing process, encouraging healthier new skin to surface and stimulating collagen production that continues for months after treatment.

Because the energy is delivered fractionally, recovery is significantly reduced compared to fully ablative lasers, and the depth of treatment can be carefully calibrated to suit each patient and each indication. The result is real, measurable improvement in skin texture, tone and firmness.

The SmartXIDE is effective for fine lines and wrinkles, lax or crepey skin, acne scars, burn scars, uneven texture and restricted movement caused by scar tissue. It is one of the few non-surgical treatments capable of delivering results that approach those of surgical skin tightening.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What conditions can SmartXIDE CO2 treat?

The laser is used for fine lines and wrinkles, lax or crepey skin, acne scars, burns, other scar tissue and uneven skin texture. It can also help improve restricted movement in areas affected by scar tissue.

How much downtime should I expect?

Most patients experience redness, swelling and a degree of peeling for several days following treatment. The skin is generally healed enough for normal activities within a week, though redness may persist for a little longer depending on the depth of treatment.

How many sessions are needed?

Many patients achieve their goals with one session. For deeper concerns such as significant scarring or marked laxity, two sessions spaced several months apart may be recommended. Your practitioner will advise at consultation.

Is it suitable for all skin types?

The fractional delivery and adjustable depth make the SmartXIDE suitable for a wider range of patients than traditional fully ablative lasers. Your practitioner will assess your skin type and advise on suitability at consultation.

When will I see the full result?

Initial skin improvement is visible once the healing phase is complete, but collagen stimulation continues for up to six months. Many patients notice the best results at the three to six month stage.

How much does CO2 laser resurfacing cost?

Pricing depends on the areas treated and what is agreed for you and is confirmed in writing at your consultation, with no obligation to proceed.
