Deka SmartXide DOT CO2 Laser

The DEKA SmartXide DOT is a state-of-the-art fractional CO2 laser system designed for a variety of skin treatments, including skin resurfacing, wrinkle reduction, scar revision, and skin tightening. It combines fractional ablative CO2 technology with DEKA's proprietary DOT (Dermal Optical Thermolysis) scanning system, allowing for customizable treatments with minimal downtime.

Laser Type

CO2 Laser (Carbon Dioxide Laser)

Wavelength: 10,600 nm (infrared)

Energy Delivery

Pulse Energy: Up to 160 mJ per dot

Power Output: Up to 30 watts, with adjustable settings to tailor energy levels to patient needs.

Pulse Duration: SmartPulse (SP) technology allows for both continuous and fractional laser modes. It delivers ultra-short pulses for precise treatment with minimal thermal damage to surrounding tissues.

Fractional Technology

DOT (Dermal Optical Thermolysis): Fractional technology that delivers laser energy in a grid or pattern (DOTs) across the treatment area. This leaves untreated areas in between, promoting faster healing by preserving surrounding healthy skin.

Spot Sizes: Varies depending on the treatment settings, typically ranging from 200 microns to 1.5 mm, depending on the desired treatment depth and area.

Scanning System

SmartDOT Scanner: The scanning technology is a key feature that allows for highly customizable and precise laser application. The scanner moves the laser in a controlled pattern across the skin, ensuring even coverage.

Pattern Customization: The SmartXide DOT allows you to adjust the density, pattern size, and shape of the laser application to match the patient's needs, with options for square, triangular, hexagonal, and more patterns.

Treatment Modes

Fractional CO2 Mode: Ablative mode for skin resurfacing and deeper treatments. This mode is effective for removing damaged skin layers while stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers.

DOT Therapy Mode: Delivers precise laser energy in fractional patterns for less invasive treatments, reducing healing time and minimizing downtime.

Deep and Superficial Resurfacing: Adjusts the energy to treat either deep wrinkles and scars or more superficial skin issues like fine lines and pigmentation.

Applications

Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Effective for treating fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, as well as deeper wrinkles.

Acne Scars and Surgical Scars: Deep penetration makes it ideal for improving the appearance of scars, including those from acne or surgery.

Skin Texture and Tone: Improves overall skin texture by reducing roughness and enhancing smoothness.

Sun Damage and Pigmentation: Treats sunspots, age spots, and other pigmentation issues.

Stretch Marks: Helps improve the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen production.

Cooling System

The system includes integrated skin cooling to ensure patient comfort and minimize the risk of thermal damage to surrounding tissue.

User Interface

Touchscreen Control Panel: Allows for easy selection of treatment parameters, including energy levels, pulse duration, and scanning patterns.

Preset Programs: Includes preset treatment protocols for different skin types and conditions, streamlining the setup process for practitioners.

Safety Features

SmartTrack Technology: Ensures uniform distribution of energy across the treatment area, reducing the risk of hot spots or overtreatment.

Adjustable Dwell Time: The system allows for fine control over the dwell time (how long the laser is applied to each dot), enhancing safety and customization.

Thermal Protection: Designed to minimize thermal damage to surrounding healthy tissue while still delivering effective results.

Recovery Time

Downtime: Minimal compared to traditional CO2 lasers, with most patients experiencing 3 to 7 days of downtime, depending on the intensity of the treatment.

Healing: The fractional DOT technology promotes faster healing by leaving untreated areas between the laser "dots," which accelerates the skin's natural healing process.

Handpieces

Multiple Handpieces: Available for different treatment areas and applications, including facial and body treatments.

Advantages of DEKA SmartXide DOT

Minimal Downtime: Fractional technology allows for effective treatments with reduced healing times compared to traditional ablative CO2 lasers.

Precision: The SmartDOT scanner and fractional CO2 technology offer precise, targeted treatment with less risk of side effects like hyperpigmentation or scarring.

Customizability: The ability to adjust patterns, densities, and energy levels makes this system highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of skin types and conditions.

Patient Comfort: Integrated cooling and customizable settings enhance patient comfort during and after the procedure.

Indications

Fine lines and wrinkles

Acne scars and other scars

Skin laxity

Pigmentation issues (sunspots, age spots)

Uneven skin texture and tone

Stretch marks

The DEKA SmartXide DOT is highly regarded for its versatility, precision, and ability to provide effective results with relatively low downtime. It is suitable for a variety of skin treatments, from light resurfacing to more aggressive skin rejuvenation.
