Choose DEKA for the most dramatic improvement in wrinkles, crepey skin and scars — with planned downtime.

What it is

The DEKA DOT is a fractional CO₂ laser — the gold standard in resurfacing. It creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones that trigger deep collagen renewal, tightening skin and smoothing lines, scars and sun damage.

How it works

Tiny columns of skin are vaporized while the surrounding skin stays intact, so healing is fast and collagen rebuilds from within over the next several months.

Sun damage and dullness Requires time away from social plans while you heal; not suited to an active tan.

What to expect

Before

A consultation and pre-treatment plan, including any antiviral medication.

During

Topical numbing first; you'll feel heat and prickling.

After

Skin is red and sunburn-like, then peels over about a week. Fresh, smoother skin follows.
