Day 1 – Post SmartDot Procedure
Well, we made it to the end of day one, and as you can clearly see, I am looking a little bit rougher than I was this morning, immediately post procedure that warming sensation that I had earlier that only lasted for about two to three hours. So that really wasn’t an issue at all. And since then, I have had literally zero pain whatsoever. It’s just discomfort, and it’s not discomfort in a painful sense. It’s discomfort in the sense of it’s tightening. So again, the the shininess that you see, that’s Aquaphor. I am getting just a little bit of swelling, maybe under my eyes, and it is starting to ooze a little bit. So you can kind of see that, you know, there’s some oozing just kind of around my mouth and that’s to be expected. It is also to be expected that the spots that you see that have come up as far as having some additional blood that has come to the surface, that is also very normal and to be expected. So just wanted to give you an update
SmartXide is a fractional CO2 laser treatment that uses dermal optical thermolysis (aka DOT therapy) to treat skin conditions like wrinkles and fine lines, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, loss of elasticity, and acne scars. Traditional CO2 lasers are ablative, which means they remove the skin’s surface layer.
They can be painful and require a week or more of downtime. The SmartXide laser is considered “micro-ablative”; it creates thousands of microscopic perforations, in a dot pattern. There’s no damage to the surrounding skin, so the area heals faster. It also stimulates collagen production more quickly. Cincinnati facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jon Mendelson says, “The SmartXide laser has been one of the best skin resurfacing devices I’ve ever used. It basically treats most skin conditions, including sunspots, fine lines, lip lines, crow’s feet, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, rhinophyma, and other aging skin conditions very well. The only thing it doesn’t help with is broken blood vessels. For this we use intense pulsed light [IPL].” Because SmartXide doesn’t go as deep as traditional CO2 lasers, the treatment requires only topical anesthesia and isn’t considered painful—although you might feel some minor discomfort, often described as a stinging sensation. You’ll also receive protective eyewear.
The treatment should take about an hour.
