The procedure delivers CO2 laser energy to targeted areas on the face or non-facial areas like the neck and décolletage, and helps treat sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scarring. Unlike any other skin resurfacing CO2 laser, the DOT system is unique because it ablates a customized pattern of tiny, micro-sized dots, rather than the entire skin surface.

After a DOT Therapy procedure, thousands of microscopic perforations help stimulate new collagen growth to improve skin's texture and tone. DOT Therapy leaves the skin around each of the perforations intact, allowing the epidermis to regenerate, which can result in a more youthful appearance.

Although the DOT Therapy technology is brand new, the benefits are proven and clear to Dr. Melanie Carreon and her patients. "Downtime for patients undergoing this procedure is minimal," said Dr. Carreon. "There is mininal discomfort, redness lasts a few days versus a few weeks, and the results are apparent."

DOT Therapy's technology allows the physician a greater level of precision and control, which can enable doctors to customize the treatment for the patient. "I can specifically target problem areas on the face or non-facial areas like "crepey" neck and hyper-pigmentation on the décolletage," said Dr. Carreon.

Only a topical anesthetic is needed for the treatment and patients can immediately apply makeup after the procedure.  Readers interested in more information about DOT Therapy can visit www.dottherapy.com or www.eclipsemed.com.
