What skin concerns can be addressed?
SmartXide is a fractional CO2 laser treatment and a non-surgical rejuvenating procedure that uses dermal optical thermolysis (DOT) therapy for treating various skin disorders such as acne scars, wrinkles and fine lines, pore enlargement, hyperpigmentation, and elasticity loss.
For most patients, SmartXide is the best resurfacing medical treatment they have ever had because it does not only treat different skin issues of their face but can also be used in treating delicate parts like the neck and décolletage.
Benefits:
SmartXide DOT (Dermal Optical Thermolysis)
For those individuals suffering from different skin problems like fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, pores enlargement, loss of skin laxity, and acne scars, SmartXide DOT treatments are beneficial for you. It produces thousands of tiny holes in a fractional pattern to help promote collagen production and for quicker healing.
SmartXide Tetra (Cool Peel)
The SmartXide Tetra device is used for CoolPeel treatments. It is specially made to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, uneven tone, big pores, and acne scars. You can recover easily with this type of treatment.
What do I need to know?
SmartXide at work
By using a fractional CO2 laser, the SmartXide device is used to treat different skin conditions. The treatment uses laser energy to create controlled injury and eventually penetrate the dermis. It helps in the improvement of your skin texture, treats your acne scars, as well as reducing your fine lines and wrinkles.
How does it help the skin?
How does it help the skin?
The SmartXide laser medical treatments can help individuals treat their skin problems. As a result of the procedure creating controlled injuries, your skin will become smoother. Your fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation appearance will be decreased. Also, your pore size will reduce. Your skin will look tighter, younger, and healthier.
The key steps
What can I expect during the treatment?
Your doctor will start by examining your skin type and determining your problem as well as discussing your goals. To make you feel comfortable, your doctor will apply topical anaesthesia after cleaning your chosen area. Microinjuries will be created on the target area with the use of a laser. The process aids in cell rejuvenation and supports collagen production. After the treatment, your doctor will cool the treated area to relieve discomfort caused by the procedure. You will be treated with calming ointment to promote the healing process. Your doctor will provide proper instructions on how you will take care of the treated area. You should strictly follow it to avoid any complications and attend your follow-up check-up as advised.
How long does the process last?
How long does the process last?
The SmartXide procedure can be done for about an hour or more. From cleaning the target area to applying a numbing cream until the procedure is completely done. Sometimes the length of the procedure depends on how your doctor will do the procedure.
Safety and comfortability
Is it safe?
It is generally safe to have a SmartXide treatment when a licensed and skilled cosmetic surgeon does the procedure. But keep in mind that just like other cosmetic treatments, it can carry potential risks and adverse effects. Those dangers may include skin irritation, swelling and redness, changes in tone colour, and scarring. Choose a qualified and experienced cosmetic surgeon to avoid those risks.
Is it hurtful?
Unlike the traditional CO2 lasers, SmartXide does not go deeper into the dermis, so it is not really painful. Your doctor may use topical anaesthesia to manage a little discomfort, like stinging sensations. You may also experience redness and swelling after your treatment.
Multiple treatments for optimal results
When can I have another SmartXide Treatment?
The SmartXide results can be permanent, but because our skin ages naturally, the results will diminish over time. To get the best results, you need to consider having an initial 3-4 treatments. The procedure should be done every 2 weeks intervals. Once you are done with the initial treatments, maintenance treatments should be followed every 4 months.
Can I combine other treatments with SmartXide?
Yes, there are treatments that you can possibly combine with SmartXide. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy can be applied after SmartXide for the overall improvement of your skin’s texture and tone as well as to promote healing. Some treatments, like Botox or dermal fillers, microneedling, and chemical peels, can be combined usually after the treatment or when the treated area is fully healed. It is best that you consult your doctor for proper recommendations.
Post-treatment guidelines to follow
When should I call my doctor?
If you are experiencing severe or prolonged swelling, redness, or pain, and you have blisters, scabbing, burns, and excessive peeling, you should call your doctor immediately because these could be signs of problems and might put you in danger. Moreover, indications of infections like fever, chills, pus, unusual discharges, and red streaks should be treated by your doctor immediately. Lastly, if you are experiencing a delay in healing, changes in your tone colour, strange textures, itchy rashes, or hives, get in touch with your doctor as soon as you can. Those signs should be handled and treated properly.
Can I wear makeup after my treatment?
It is not recommended to wear makeup after your SmartXide therapy to let the treated area heal properly and to avoid infection. The intensity and depth of your treatment will determine the timeframe when you can be allowed to continue the use of makeup. It is important that you follow your doctor's advice and go signal before applying any makeup to your face.
Factors Affecting Pricing
How much does it cost?
Areas with the highest cost of living tend to have higher prices for SmartXide. These neighbourhoods include Notting Hill and Chelsea, Kensington and Knightsbridge, in addition to Mayfair. Prices may range from £500 per session and even higher for premium packages and additional services.
On the other hand, SmartXide in those neighbourhoods with lower demands and more competitors may offer a lower price. For some areas, like Shoreditch and Hackney in East London, Clapham and Brixton in South London, Camden and Islington in North London, and Fulham and Hammersmith in West London, prices may range from £300 and up per session, depending on the clinic and package offer.
These are only approximations; to know the exact cost, consult your doctor. Book an appointment here.
The remarkable difference a Harley Street Skin Clinic treatment can provide
There are 2 varieties of SmartXide laser offered at Harley Street Skin: the SmartXide and the SmartXide Cool. Both are aimed at resurfacing, but vary in strength and penetration. While SmartXide functions at a much higher temperature and therefore offers a much deeper result, SmartXide Cool boasts a much faster healing process and is perfect for more superficial damage.
The CO2 laser is able to stimulate rejuvenation by targeting small areas of skin using a small wand-like device which is passed over the treatment area. This laser heats the dermis, and stimulates new collagen production - making it excellent for acne scarring and other imperfections such as age spots, pigmentation and wrinkles.
During SmartXide treatment, a high energy laser works to make damage and break down the outer layers of the epidermis, in order for new skin to take its place. The treated skin then begins to flake away as it heals and new skin cells develop, making the face much smoother, firmer and more youthful in appearance.
Although similar, fractional laser treatments work differently from chemical peels in that only portions of the skin are disrupted during the procedure. Chemical peels affect all of the skin down to a certain depth, whereas SmartXide leaves parts of the skin untouched, allowing for deeper penetration and a more dramatic effect on skin quality.

Achieving Skin Goals
How does SmartXide address skin issues?
Skin problems such as acne scarring, wrinkles, fine lines, large pores, hyperpigmentation, and elasticity loss can be caused by factors like hormonal imbalance, pollution, stress, genetics, or aging. SmartXide therapy can help by:
The SmartXide is a fractional CO2 laser that is less invasive than deep laser peel methods. It targets the skin’s deeper layers without potentially harming the surface. Recovery is usually shorter compared to more invasive treatments, with most patients returning to daily activities after a week, depending on the procedure depth and healing process.

Skin problems, especially on the face, can impact self-confidence. Rejuvenating your skin with SmartXide can result in smoother, younger-looking skin, thereby boosting self-esteem and confidence.

Is SmartXide Good for Me?
If you have problematic skin conditions like acne scarring, deep wrinkles and fine lines, pore enlargement, hyperpigmentation, and loss of elasticity, SmartXide may be the right treatment for you. It helps to rejuvenate your skin and can reduce many pesky skin concerns.
However, SmartXide is not suitable for everyone. If you have inflammatory conditions or active infections, a history of delayed healing, are pregnant or nursing, have autoimmune illnesses, uncontrollable diabetes, or are photosensitive, this treatment may not be appropriate. Additionally, if you are on medications for acne control or have recently undergone cosmetic procedures, SmartXide might not be suitable. If you are seeking instant results or have unrealistic expectations, this may not be the right treatment for you, as SmartXide may require multiple sessions to achieve desired results.
Consult your doctor to determine if SmartXide is the right treatment for your skin needs.
Can a Risk Be Prevented?
It is important to speak to your doctor about SmartXide treatments and discuss all possible effects to minimize risks.
