SmartXide DOT™

Dr Rice is one of the first in Canada to offer the revolutionary SmartXide DOT™ micro ablative facial rejuvenation. SmartXide DOT™ is the latest in no-downtime resurfacing that can erase many years on sun damage and make the skin smoother in a single treatment.

How does SmartXide DOT™ Work?

Two Treatments in One
The skin is treated one micro portion at a time - repeated thousands of times. Each micro column receives just enough laser energy to vaporize the aged skin while also stimulating new collagen growth of surrounding tissue. It's more than skin resurfacing, it's deep skin rejuvenation.

Outstanding Results
Immediately after the treatment, your body naturally starts working by replacing aged tissue cells with new ones. Shortly after the procedure, you will notice your skin to be visibly smoother, healthier and younger looking. Results will continue to improve over time. Patients can resume their normal active lifestyle in as little as one day.

How long does the procedure last?
The entire face can be treated in as little as 15 minutes, with results lasting years given proper skin care and sun protection.

Is the procedure painful?
Topical anesthetic makes the procedure virtually painless. Afterwards, you may experience a mild heat sensation similar to a sun burn, itchiness and dryness in the treated area.

How many treatments will I need?
Thanks to the versatility of the SmartXide DOT™ you and your Clinician can decide how many treatments will be needed to meet your aes­thetic expectations. Outstanding results can be achieved in as little as one session but will require a longer healing period than if a milder multiple session treatment is elected.

What is the recovery time?
Since SmartXide DOT™ is micro-ablative, recovery time is significantly shorter than fully ablative technology2. Within the first few days of treatment, you may experience some redness and swelling with minimal pain. Each micro channel of ablation will quickly heal and you will be able to apply makeup on the treated surface and return to your normal lifestyle in as little as 1-2 days.
