SmartXide DOT CO2 Resurfacing with PRP Q&A

I recently responded to an interested individual and I decided to share the information about the DOT CO2, that is on special this month.  It improves texture, wrinkles and large pores however if you want a lot of texture improvement you should plan on doing this treatment multiple times. 

 As a rule of thumb we usually say three times to make a pretty decent noticeable change (Create new baseline) and then to try and come roughly once a year for maintenance as it helps you grow the collagen back that you lose each year naturally by getting a year older- so basically it allows you to stall the look of the facial aging process. 

 We have many clients that have been doing it only once a year for 10 years and never did a series. So, it’s not necessary to commit to a series, but getting a new baseline and significant degree of improvement might take more than one treatment. You may want to do more than one the first year to reach your goals. 

 This month’s in house special price of CO2 resurfacing with the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for just the face runs $500 (PRP is $275 and CO2 is $299 discounted price). We recommend the purchase of the post care recovery kit which can be used for more than one treatment. You should also expect the cost of an antiviral medication (usually under $20) that we call in the day of your treatment to prevent the possibility of cold sores or shingles outbreak if that applies to you.  It is also customary for you leave gratuity for your technician-typically people leave between $50 and $80 but because this is a highly technical and customized treatment some customers leave over $100

 On the day of the treatment arrive one hour prior to the procedure and we will do a Visia skin care analysis and get your medical history in order to clear you for treatment. Then we numb your skin with cream while you do the rest of your paperwork(consents etc). We will also draw your blood during that time so your platelets are ready to be applied immediately after the treatment for increased collagen and elastin and building as well as decreased swelling and shorter recovery. 

 With PRP the average recovery is five full days without make up. Typically you will not look completely back to normal usually until about day 7 to 10.  Back to normal means it doesn’t look like you just had a major procedure done but you will not see results yet. The new collagen/results take minimum 60 days to appear. 

 Call us to schedule yours soon. You will need two weeks before and two weeks after the procedures without sun. This  is probably the last chance to get this done and see the results by the end of Summer.
