After a five-minute consultation, local anesthesia works for about 45 minutes to numb faces. Technicians wield SmartXide Dot's fractional lasers to penetrate facescapes, removing old, dull skin in the Madonna lift. The treatment is also designed to boost collagen production, helping to make skin plumper, tighter, softer, and aglow with a rosy radiance. Though the treatment lasts only a few minutes, improvements continue for up to six months after each visit. Skin Technology recommends three to five treatments for results that last up to five years.

Full treatments also begin with a consultation and local anesthesia, and the procedure uses the same laser used in Madonna lifts. The treatment causes the skin's top layers to dissolve about three to four days after the procedure, revealing the dewy new skin beneath. About three to four weeks after the visit, new collagen production kicks in, helping to tighten skin and smooth out wrinkles. Skin Technology recommends full treatments for clients seeking to reverse sun damage, tauten sagging skin, or even out rough textures.

The Madonna treatment has minimal downtime, and clients can usually return to their usual activities immediately, but more treatments are required to achieve optimal results. The full treatment results in more recovery time, but most clients need only one treatment.
