Laser Treatment Q & A

The DEKA DOT CO2 laser is an ablative fractionated laser tool the team at Dana Point Dermatology uses to rejuvenate your skin. 

Unlike other types of skin laser treatments, the DEKA DOT CO2 laser doesn’t remove the top layer of your skin and allows for a faster recovery than other skin laser treatments.  

The heat produced by the laser creates microscopic perforations in the surface of your skin, which stimulates collagen production to improve strength and elasticity. The laser also tightens the skin and improves tone and texture.

The aesthetic experts at Dana Point Dermatology determine if you’re a good candidate for DEKA DOT CO2 laser during a consultation. The team uses the advanced laser tool to treat many common skin concerns, including:

  • Lines and wrinkles
  • Sun spots
  • Acne scars

The laser is also safe to use on different areas of your body, including your face, neck, and hands.

The team at Dana Point Dermatology performs your DEKA DOT CO2 laser treatment at the office. After your clinician has cleaned your skin with an antibacterial agent, your laser therapy begins. 

You will feel a warm, heat sensation during treatment, but treatment is generally well-tolerated. If you’re sensitive to pain, be sure to let the team know so they can make adjustments to your treatment plan. We offer Pro-Nox analgesic gas at no additional charge for enhanced patient comfort and an overall better patient experience.

The length of your laser therapy may depend on the area being treated, but shouldn’t take longer than 30 minutes.

After your session, your skin may be red and feel like a sunburn, which you can ease with a cold compress and fan. The team may suggest some downtime following your session as your skin heals. 

It’s possible you may only need one treatment with the DEKA DOT CO2 laser to get your desired results. However, the team may suggest a series of treatments depending on your ultimate aesthetic goals.

You may start to notice an improvement in your skin soon after your laser session, with continued improvements over the next several weeks.

Enhance Your Skin with Pulsed Dye Laser Treatments

Discover the transformative benefits of the Candela V-Beam Perfecta pulsed dye laser at Dana Point Dermatology, conveniently located in Dana Point, California.

Contact our office today to schedule your consultation.

What is a Pulsed Dye Laser?

A pulsed dye laser utilizes an organic dye dissolved in a solvent to deliver rapid pulses of light to the skin, achieving desired aesthetic outcomes. This targeted light energy heats and destroys problematic skin cells and blood vessels without harming surrounding tissue.

Am I a Candidate for Pulsed Dye Laser Treatment?

During your consultation at Dana Point Dermatology, our experts assess your candidacy for pulsed dye laser treatment. This versatile technology effectively addresses various skin concerns, including:

  • Birthmarks
  • Port wine stains
  • Spider veins
  • Hemangiomas
  • Melasma
  • Raised scars
  • Acne scars
  • Burn scars
  • Psoriasis
  • Warts

For aesthetic purposes, we may combine pulsed dye laser treatment with other cosmetic procedures to optimize your results.

What to Expect During Pulsed Dye Laser Treatment

Experience your pulsed dye laser treatment in the comfort of our office at Dana Point Dermatology. Before beginning treatment, your clinician provides protective eyewear for your safety. Depending on your sensitivity, a topical anesthetic may be applied. The laser is then applied to the treatment area, with sensations typically likened to a mild sunburn.

Post-Treatment Care

Following your session, the treated area may be cooled with ice. Most patients observe results over the following 1-2 weeks after treatment, suitable for all skin types. Simple follow-up care includes applying moisturizer and diligent use of sunscreen to protect against potential pigmentary changes.

For optimal outcomes, a series of treatments spaced at monthly intervals may be recommended, tailored to your specific needs.

  • Years of expertise in safe and effective pulsed dye laser treatments.
  • Specialized treatment for facial redness and acne rosacea.
  • Minimal discomfort and downtime with fast treatment sessions.

Pulsed Dye Laser Q & A

When used for aesthetic purposes, the team may combine your pulsed dye laser treatment with other cosmetic treatments so you get the most dramatic results.

The team at Dana Point Dermatology performs your pulsed dye laser treatment at their office. Before treatment begins, your clinician provides you with protective eyewear that you must wear throughout the entire procedure.

If needed, your clinician may apply a topical anesthetic before starting your laser treatment. Then, your clinician applies the laser wand to the treatment area.

You may feel a snapping sensation as the pulsed energy targets your skin. Treatment time varies depending on the size of the area undergoing laser therapy. You may be given an ice pack to cool the treatment area after your session. If needed, your clinician may cover your skin with a bandage.

After your laser therapy, the team recommends you strictly cover your skin with brimmed hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect it from the sun as it heals. Sun exposure too soon after your treatment may cause hyperpigmentation of your skin in the treatment area.

To get the best results, the team at Dana Point Dermatology may recommend a series of treatments set at one-month intervals. The number of sessions you need depends on the reason for your treatment.
