    The SmartXide DOT laser uses a 350 μm spot size to deliver thermal energy for skin resurfacing, providing more precise treatment than traditional CO2 lasers. Dermal Optical Thermolysis (DOT) Therapy uses thousands of tiny DOTs scanned into the skin to resurface it and stimulate collagen production with minimal downtime. Two doctors achieved excellent results tightening skin and reducing acne scars in 3-4 days with the SmartXide DOT laser and were impressed with its safety profile and low pain levels compared to other options.
