What is a SmartXide?

Discover

Experience the power

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:

  • Improves Skin Texture
  • Stimulates collagen production
  • Firms and tones the skin
  • Evens out skin tone
  • Reduces acne scars

The Many Types

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.

The Procedure

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.

SmartXide Laser Before & Afters

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.

SmartXide Laser After
SmartXide Laser Before

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.

The Essentials

Prepare
Before SmartXide

What are the preparations before the procedure?

  • Your doctor may prescribe a pretreatment cream like retinol or hydrocortisone.
  • Stop using skincare products with harsh ingredients.
  • Refrain from using tanning products.
  • Avoid sun exposure.
  • Do not drink alcohol.
  • Your doctor may give you antiviral medicines.
  • Do not eat or drink for 6 hours before your treatment.

Recovery
After SmartXide

Does recovery from the treatment take longer?

  • You may feel discomfort, redness, and swelling in the treated area after the procedure.
  • Use a cold compress and take prescribed pain medications to lessen discomfort.
  • Keep the treated area moisturized and avoid sun exposure as the skin is more sensitive post-treatment.

  • Normal activities can usually be resumed after a week or so.

Prevent
After SmartXide

What do I need to do to prolong the results?

  • Use skincare products that are gentle on your skin.
  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle: avoid smoking and alcohol, drink plenty of water, and eat a healthy diet.
  • Consider maintenance treatments to prolong results as the skin continues to age.
Why Have a SmartXide?

Advantages

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:

  • Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Improving uneven skin tone or pigmentation.
  • Reducing pore size for a smoother appearance.
  • Reducing acne scars.
  • Offering a minimally invasive treatment with less downtime.

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.

Boost Confidence and Self-Esteem

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.

Am I Suitable?

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.

The Risks

Can a Risk Be Prevented?

  • Potential Risks: SmartXide is generally safe, but potential risks include swelling and redness lasting for many days, pain and discomfort manageable with topical anesthesia and pain relievers.
  • Adverse Side Effects: Infection may occur if the treated area is not properly cared for. Patients may experience skin darkening (hyperpigmentation) or lightening (hypopigmentation), and prolonged redness. Scarring can also occur if the healing skin is not properly cared for.

It is important to speak to your doctor about SmartXide treatments and discuss all possible effects to minimize risks.
