DOT Laser Resurfacing

WORTH IT$1,000
I'm at my 3 month post treatment for my DOT. This is the time I've been advised that my skin will really start showing the results. They are correct!! My results far exceeded my expectations!!! Dr. Smith & Millennium Spa are the BEST!!!

Oh wow, what a transformation, you look amazing!! Thank you for the update. 
Looks so painful and would be scary to see my face look like that during the healing phase but your results look great!!
You look great. I too use Dr. Charles Smith and am seriously considering the DOT therapy in the next month or so.
You look gorgeous

Glad that you are healing well :) Thank you for keeping your review up to date. 
I'm considering a DOT on my face and belly (stretch marks/loose skin). How long does the sunburned effect last, and how long do the total effects last? Do you expect to need upkeep treatments every couple of years?
It lasts a good 2 weeks, however you can wear make-up to minimize the "sunburned" look. I didn't & was fine. I would expect to have to have another DOT in a couple of years, but I also will be a couple of years older too! :) The owner's mother of the medi spa where I go to had the laser on her tummy. She was quite swollen & uncomfortable for about 6-8weeks. She told me that she would not do this again as the results were not that great vs. the discomfort. She has had 2 DOT's also and her face looks great. She was my inspiration for getting the second one. I will post a pic later that was taken Labor Day. The results I have from this 2nd one are much better than I expected. Good luck if you decide to get a DOT. I have read horror stories but I am not one. I would definitely recommend the DOT!

Day 6

Most of my skin has peeled....Now I have that "extreme" sunburn look......Going very well, since this is my 2nd I knew what to expect. I have done so much better this time around....less swelling (due to ice bags at night) & more cleansing!!!!! Skin starting to look good!!!!
