It is also an excellent choice as a standalone solution for in depth skin rejuvenation. The DOT works by waking up old inactive skin cells such as keratinocytes and safely breaking down old dysfunctional collagen and triggering new, robust collagen synthesis. The treated skin is smoother and more elastic, thicker and healthier- fractionated ablative treatments such as this have been shown to reduce rates of new non- melanoma skin cancers.
