I really want to do another one but I have been really busy starting a new business. I even thought of doing a more intensive laser but need time to research it. I would do another dot in a second---very minimal down time and very good results. For me all the money and time spent doing facials, peels, micro was no where near the results from dot. I would say just go for it--I am going to. Good luck :)
I am still happy with the procedure. I usually get botox regularly because of my crows feet and have put it off for 4 months now. I don't feel the need to get botox as often because the laser helped soften the crows feet so much--of course we all smile--I hope--so wrinkles come back around the eyes. I am planning to do it again this winter on my face. Just an fyi it is so hard to stay out of the sun in florida so I prefer the winter treatment. Good luck :)
The down time was not long--about a week. You are really red and all shiny because of the goo you have to apply like every hour. Some people go back to work in 3 days but I would not--your face looks kinda weird while its healing and that makes me uncomfortable. The whole process was not bad but I did like having a whole week at home to recover but that's just me.I do love the results and plan to do it again this winter when I have free time--and there is less sun to deal with.
It has been a couple of months since the smartxide dot procedure and I wanted to touch base. I was freaked out at first because my face was kinda pink and blotchy but I used the sunscreen that the doctor gave me--spf 45 with zinc oxide--less chemicals and it all worked out. My face has less fine lines and hardly any sun spots which is a huge improvement. I am so happy with the results that I plan to go back and have it done again at the end of the summer. It took 5 years off my face and that is what I wanted. I would say if you have fine lines and sun damage you should do it---then use sun glasses a visor and sunblock everyday!!!
