Rapid Healing
Fractional Carbon Dioxide (CO2) LASER is one of the most advanced procedures in the world of non-surgical treatments for skin rejuvenation. It can be safely used on all skin types, targeting water in the skin at it’s specific wavelength (10,600nm).
DOT stands for Dermal Optical Thermolysis which refers to the thousands of tiny columns of vaporized skin, surrounded by untreated skin to aid healing time and reduce complications.
The laser beam created from a CO2 system is a purified “collimated and coherent” beam which can be focused precisely on the desired target. It removed other wavelenths of light to leave only the 10.6nm wavelength beam, this targets human tissue as it interacts with water, as opposed to any specific colour as for example with hair removal/vein/tattoo treatment.

Is CO2 different to other Fractional Laser sources?
Yes. There are many forms of “fractional” laser available, including the brand named “Fraxel”. It can be confusing to clearly understand which lasers are truly fractional, and also ablative. Deka’s SmartXide is famous for it’s versatility in the treatment protocols given the vast range of settings i.e. Spot Size, Spot Shape, Density, Pulse Duration, Smart Stacking option, Energy Level, as well as the pattern of treatment with the Smart Track setting. This gives over 1.5 millions possible combinations achieveable with the HiScan hand piece, permitting total personalisation of the procedure.
CO2 LASER goes deeper than other ablative lasers such as Erbium. This gives better results for deeper lines and scars, as well as creating a greater tightening effect with the SmartPulse heating of the skin. Superficial treatments at a depth of 40-50 micrometres can be achieved, as well as a deeper penetration to the papillary and reticular dermis if required.
