Have you been noticing acne scars that won’t fade, uneven texture, deep wrinkles, or skin that just doesn’t bounce back the way it used to? Topical products can only do so much, and even injectable treatments may not fully address aesthetic concerns that start deep within the skin. When surface-level solutions fall short, it’s natural to explore advanced options that stimulate skin renewal from the inside out.
At Beautifully New in Park Ridge, we use advanced technologies like the Deka SmartXide laser to help clients refresh their skin at a deeper level without surgery and with thoughtful attention to recovery and results. This article walks you through what you need to know about Deka SmartXide laser treatment, so you can decide whether it aligns with your skin goals and lifestyle.
What is Deka SmartXide laser treatment?
Deka SmartXide is an advanced fractional CO₂ laser treatment that improves the skin’s surface and deeper layers. Unlike traditional lasers that treat the entire skin surface, this technology delivers controlled laser energy in microscopic columns, leaving the surrounding skin intact. This fractional approach allows your skin to heal more efficiently.
The treatment targets damaged skin cells and triggers your body’s natural healing response. As new skin cells form and collagen production increases, you’ll notice smoother texture, improved tone, and more youthful-looking skin over time.
How does the Deka SmartXide laser work?
The Deka SmartXide laser works by creating tiny microchannels that extend through the epidermis into the dermis. These micro-injuries stimulate your natural collagen remodeling processes almost immediately after treatment. While the skin’s surface heals relatively quickly, the deeper layers continue rebuilding for weeks and even months.
This process improves skin quality from within, rather than simply masking imperfections. Because collagen plays such a crucial role in firmness, elasticity, and texture, the long-term benefits often extend well beyond the initial healing period.
What skin concerns can this treatment address?
Deka SmartXide laser treatment can address a wide range of skin concerns, including:
- Acne scars and atrophic scarring
- Fine lines and deep wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture and tone
- Sun damage and dark spots
- Skin laxity and crepey skin
If your concerns involve deeper structural changes, this treatment may offer more noticeable improvements than superficial procedures.
What makes Deka SmartXide different from traditional CO₂ lasers?
Older CO₂ lasers were effective but often came with significant downtime, discomfort, and a higher risk of side effects. Deka SmartXide uses advanced fractional technology that allows for more precise treatment with faster recovery and less overall irritation. Additionally, customizable settings allow providers to tailor the depth and intensity of treatment to your specific needs.
What should I expect during the treatment?
Before your session, your provider will evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to determine the appropriate treatment plan. A topical anesthetic is typically applied to improve comfort.
During treatment, you may feel warmth or a prickling sensation as the laser is passed over the targeted areas. Sessions usually last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. While the experience varies from person to person, most describe it as tolerable.
What is recovery like after Deka SmartXide laser treatment?
After treatment, it’s normal to experience redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn for several days. Mild peeling or flaking may occur as the skin begins to renew itself. These effects are part of the healing process and typically subside within five to seven days.
You’ll need to keep your skin moisturized, avoid sun exposure, and follow a gentle skincare routine during recovery. As the skin heals, you’ll start to see smoother, healthier skin emerge, with continued improvements in tone and texture over the following weeks.
How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?
Some improvements are visible within days as the outer layers of skin heal, but the most dramatic results develop gradually. Collagen remodeling can continue for up to 2 months or longer, meaning your skin can keep improving well after your appointment.
Many people see significant improvement after a single treatment, though deeper concerns may require additional sessions. With proper skincare and sun protection, the results can be long-lasting and continue to support healthier skin aging.
Who is a good candidate for this treatment?
You may be a good candidate for Deka SmartXide laser treatment if you have textural concerns, acne scars, wrinkles, or sun damage and are looking for a non-surgical solution. The ideal candidates are generally in good health and can commit to a short period of downtime
Certain skin tones or active skin conditions may require special consideration, which is why an evaluation is essential before treatment.
