CONNECTING THE DOTS: NEW DOT THERAPY MAKES AGING LINES AND WRINKLES DISAPPEAR

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 25, 2009 -- BOUNTIFUL, Utah – Laugh lines, crow’s feet, brown spots, and wrinkles are inevitable signs of aging, but all that is about to change thanks to the most advanced technology in laser skin resurfacing. Through a newly-formed alliance between Eclipse Medical, one of the country’s leading aesthetic laser distributors since 1993, and DEKA, one of the world’s leading and best-known laser manufacturers, DOT Therapy (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) is now the state-of-the-art procedure in laser skin resurfacing.

The SmartXide DOT system is an advanced CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser made by DEKA and has received clearance by the Food & Drug Administration. The CO2 laser is the most common type of laser used for skin resurfacing; thoroughly proven and tested. CO2 lasers of the past covered the entire surface area of the skin, resulting in a significant amount of downtime to heal, discomfort for the patient and prolonged redness of the skin. In addition, the old style CO2 lasers could not treat non-facial areas like the neck and décolletage easily because skin in these areas did not heal as well as the face.

Ralph D. Wade, D.O., a board certified, Utah-based physician is among the first skincare specialists in Utah to use DOT Therapy on his patients. “DOT Therapy is the new gold standard in laser facial resurfacing,” said Dr. Wade. “The effectiveness of DOT Therapy is unparalleled and what makes DOT Therapy so special is its range of options. My patients are thrilled that we can customize the treatments to meet their exact skin requirements. The results are extraordinary and the downtime is so minimal that my patients can receive a treatment on a Friday and be back to work on Monday looking radiant.”
DOT Therapy is taking laser skin resurfacing to a whole new level. The new procedure precisely delivers CO2 laser energy to targeted areas on the face or non-facial areas like the neck and décolletage, and effectively treats sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scarring. Unlike older skin resurfacing CO2 lasers, 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 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 collagen, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Although the DOT Therapy technology is brand new, the benefits are proven and clear to Dr. Wade and his patients. “Downtime for patients undergoing this procedure is minimal,” said Dr. Wade. “There is little to no pain or discomfort, redness lasts a few days versus a few weeks, and the results are remarkable – DOT Therapy virtually takes years off the face.”
DOT Therapy’s innovative new technology also allows the physician a greater level of precision and control, enabling doctors to customize the treatment for the pnt.
