The DOT procedure, which relates to anti-aging techniques in hardware cosmetology, is recommended to be performed after 40 years. From this age, the skin gradually begins to lose its natural elasticity. Reviews of cosmetologists about DOT rejuvenation indicate that thanks to this procedure, the process of collagen production is launched. It is he who makes the tissues elastic.
The essence of the procedure
The procedure is also called fractional skin resurfacing using a laser system. The principle of operation of this method is that the laser beam is divided into scanty beams with a thickness of 1.6 mm. The result is an original mesh. It acts on the skin surface very gently. Around tissue lesions of tiny size is healthy tissue. The rays penetrate into the depths of the dermis at equal intervals, due to this the processes are activated:
- collagen production;
- metabolism;
- regeneration.
This leads to the fact that recovery begins to occur in healthy areas. According to reviews, DOT rejuvenation gives the result after one session. Each procedure is strictly individual, it is determined:
- existing problems;
- personal features of the client;
- scope of work;
- type of dermis.

Procedure
The cosmetologist proceeds to the procedure after a thorough examination of the patient and the exclusion of all possible contraindications. As soon as the course program is developed, the question of the number of sessions and the duration of the intervals between them is resolved, the specialist proceeds to the first procedure. To combat the aging of the dermis, 1-2 procedures are enough, and 6-8 sessions will be required to remove scars and hyperpigmentation.
First of all, a cosmetologist thoroughly cleans the surface of the skin from:
- decorative cosmetics;
- dust
- sebum.
Then, a local anesthetic drug is applied to the area of effect, which is presented in the form of an ointment, spray or cream. During their action, the doctor performs the procedure itself.
Rehabilitation period
With this method, a small percentage of tissues are damaged, so the recovery period does not last so long: from 4 to 14 days. Although cosmetologists say that during rehabilitation the patient does not feel discomfort, however, reviews about DOT rejuvenation, namely about the period after the procedure, show the opposite. Clients report pain both during and immediately after the session. After 2 hours, the surface of the skin becomes red and swollen. The next day, a crust forms on it from an oozing sucrose, which protects the dermis from various irritating factors and infections. You can’t tear it off. After a week, the crust softens, and then falls off, puffiness disappears. It is very important for a month to protect the skin, which during this period is very sensitive to various adverse factors.
Rehabilitation Rules
At this time, cosmetologists advise washing your face with exclusively ozonized or boiled water. After the procedure, you can not use decorative cosmetics for a week, or even 10 days. For 2 weeks, you need to more often apply a moisturizer and avoid contact with the sun. After a DOT session of 15-20 days, scrubs and peels are prohibited.
Long lasting effect
According to the reviews, Dot-rejuvenation of the face has an increasing effect. At first, it is difficult to evaluate the result, because at this time there is redness and swelling of the skin. The maximum effect is visible after two weeks. However, patients who underwent DOT rejuvenation note that already after the first sessions the skin becomes younger, various aesthetic flaws, scars, stretch marks and scars begin to disappear from it. So that the treatment does not bring disappointment, it is necessary with all responsibility to approach the search for a specialist. Only laser clinics of aesthetic medicine and specialized cosmetology centers have the right to perform fractional laser rejuvenation, and even if they have the appropriate license. That is why it is important to carefully select the specialist who will carry out the procedure: request certificates from him, study reviews. Due to its high efficiency, the method is very popular, although the cost of the procedures is quite high.
