Your skin tells the story of your life’s journey – from sun-filled adventures to sleepless nights, from moments of joy to times of stress. As your body’s largest and most exposed organ, it’s particularly vulnerable to the effects of aging, lifestyle choices, and environmental damage. While the passage of time is inevitable, modern aesthetic medicine offers powerful solutions to help maintain your skin’s health and vitality.
Skin rejuvenation encompasses a range of treatments designed to restore your skin’s youthful appearance by addressing common concerns such as:
DOT (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) therapy represents the pinnacle of modern laser resurfacing technology. This advanced treatment offers remarkable versatility and customization options.
Our flagship treatment uses advanced fractional laser technology to create thousands of microscopic treatment zones, stimulating collagen production and natural healing. Key benefits include:
Pre-Treatment Phase (30 minutes)
Treatment Phase (45-60 minutes)
Immediate Post-Treatment (15 minutes)
The initial days following your DOT Therapy treatment are crucial for optimal healing. During the first 48 hours, you can expect moderate redness and swelling in the treated areas, accompanied by a sensation similar to a sunburn. To support proper healing, you’ll need to apply your prescribed recovery balm every 2-3 hours, ensuring your skin stays adequately moisturized. Sleep with your head elevated to help minimize swelling, and you can use cold compresses periodically for comfort.
As you move into days three and four, you’ll notice the beginning of the skin peeling process, which signals your skin’s natural renewal. While some mild swelling may persist, it should noticeably decrease from the initial days. During this phase, you’ll transition from the intensive recovery balm to a regular moisturizer as directed by your provider. Resist the urge to touch or pick at peeling skin, which could lead to complications or uneven healing.
By days five through seven, you’ll see significant improvement as most of the peeling process is completed and redness continues to subside. This is when you can begin returning to your gentle skincare routine, though you should continue to be mindful of your skin’s sensitivity. If desired, you may apply mineral makeup at this stage, which can help camouflage any remaining redness. However, it’s crucial to continue avoiding direct sun exposure to protect your healing skin. Many patients feel comfortable returning to normal activities during this period.
In the weeks following your initial recovery, you may begin gradually incorporating your usual products, paying close attention to how your skin responds. Sun protection remains critical during this phase, as your skin is still more susceptible to damage. Monitor your skin for any concerns or unusual reactions, and communicate with our office about your progress.
This powerful treatment option delivers dramatic results for significant skin concerns through complete surface renewal.
Perfect for patients seeking dramatic improvement in:
Face
Neck
Décolletage
The first week after your Traditional CO2 laser treatment represents the most intensive recovery period. During this time, you’ll experience significant redness and swelling, a normal response to the treatment’s depth and intensity. A strict wound care protocol is essential for proper healing and optimal results. This includes careful adherence to all prescribed medications and thorough attention to the detailed care instructions provided. You’ll need to keep the treated areas clean and avoid all cosmetic products, including makeup, to prevent any potential complications or infections. Our medical team will conduct daily check-ins to monitor your healing progress.
The intensive peeling process will finish during this time, and you’ll see a marked decrease in redness and swelling. Under our guidance, you can begin carefully introducing gentle skincare products back into your routine. However, limiting your outdoor activities during this phase is crucial, as your skin remains sensitive to environmental factors. This period requires a delicate balance between returning to normal routines and maintaining the protective measures necessary for optimal healing.
The third and fourth weeks mark your transition back to regular activities and skincare routines, with continued attention to proper skin protection. You can resume most of your normal daily activities with a heightened focus on sun protection and skincare. Together, we’ll develop a long-term care plan that helps maintain and enhance your treatment results while protecting your skin’s health and your results for as long as possible.
Perfect for maintenance and prevention, these gentler treatments offer consistent improvement with minimal disruption to daily life.

This was my third visit out of a four visit package I paid for to try and get some of my facial hair removed by Laser. After just the first session I saw a huge difference in the amount of growth and it just has gotten less and less after each session. Sue, the nurse, has made me feel so comfortable and she truly wants to help me get this under control. I created the problem on the side of my face where your hair naturally dips down a little in front of the ear. A few years ago when I was battling with OCD, I was pulling out the hairs in that area and then what grew in was stiff stubble. Now after my third treatment almost all the stubble is gone! I’m so happy with the results that I may decide to have my legs done.
