Sciton lasers are the newest innovations in skin rejuvenation. They provide remarkable results with minimal downtime and can be used on a wide range of skin types and tones.
Photorejuvenation treatments with the Sciton Profile utilize broadband pulsed light to fade away solar lentigines (freckles or age spots) and telangiectasias (spider veins). This reduces sun damage while improving your complexion’s color and glow.
BBL
The Sciton BBL laser is a non-ablative, non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that uses pulses of light energy to stimulate collagen production. It’s safe for all skin types and can be used on areas such as the face, hands, chest or other parts of the body.
Your provider will use a special handpiece to precisely target blemishes and pigmented lesions with various wavelengths and adapters. The light is then absorbed into the skin, causing affected pigment to fade and flake away, making the treatment less visible.
Your provider can customize the BBL laser treatment to address your individual concerns and desired outcomes. With the unique settings on the Sciton BBL handpiece, they can effectively treat age spots, sun spots, small facial veins, acne, rosacea, flushing, uneven skin texture, and unwanted hair with minimal discomfort or downtime.
Multiple BBL laser treatments spaced several weeks apart can give you the firm, youthful complexion you desire. Your doctor or laser nurse may suggest a series of touch-up sessions in order to maintain your results long term.
The BBL/HALO laser uses a broadband flash lamp to generate rapid pulses of visible and near infrared energy. These bands interact with three chromophores in your body (water, hemoglobin, and melanin) to deliver targeted wavelengths deep within tissue that stimulate cell regeneration and collagen production.
Before beginning this type of laser or light-based procedure, your doctor or laser nurse will apply topical numbing cream to protect the eyes and other sensitive areas. The BBL / HALO handpiece is then passed over the targeted area in short bursts of light that create a crisscross pattern on the skin.
Once the treatment begins, you will experience a burning sensation similar to that of a sunburn. To protect yourself and avoid sun exposure or tanning beds for several weeks before and after your BBL / HALO laser session, it is important to limit sun exposure and tanning beds.
After your BBL/HALO laser treatment, you may experience redness and swelling that may last up to 48 hours. However, these side effects will eventually dissipate.
Fractional Resurfacing
Lasers are powerful tools that can improve skin texture, tone, elasticity and reduce acne scars, wrinkles and enlarged pores. Selecting the correct laser for you is essential in achieving your desired outcomes.
Laser resurfacing uses short bursts of laser light to penetrate deep into the skin’s sub-layers and rejuvenate its aging support structure. This activates the body’s natural healing process, eliminating old cells while stimulating production of new collagen and elastin.
Fractional lasers are a type of laser resurfacing that targets only fractions of the skin at once, helping reduce fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars while leaving healthy surrounding skin intact. These lasers work by shooting precise microbeams of light into deeper layers of the skin which causes deep, narrow columns of tissue coagulation which stimulates rapid healing.
These microscopic treatment zones (MTZs) are one-tenth the size of a hair follicle and have been proven to be effective in treating various skin conditions such as aging, sun damage, hyperpigmentation and acne scars. With this laser technique patients can receive multiple treatments simultaneously in one session with fewer treatments needed than traditional laser resurfacing methods.
Fractional laser resurfacing treatments offer long-lasting youthful skin. This non-invasive, safe and effective procedure can address facial wrinkles, uneven pigmentation and other signs of aging on the face, neck, chest, arms and hands without the need for surgery or downtime.
Before opting for laser resurfacing, it’s essential to select a doctor who specializes in laser treatments. This way, they’ll guarantee they possess the necessary skills to properly perform the procedure and minimize any potential risks.
At your consultation, our specialists will assess your skin to see if you’re a good candidate for fractional laser treatments. If so, we’ll create a tailored plan tailored to your individual needs and create an achievable treatment schedule to give you the most desirable outcomes.
The Sciton Dual Laser System is a non-ablative, dual wavelength and patented hybrid fractional resurfacing device that can safely and effectively reduce the appearance of many common signs of aging. It significantly improves wrinkles, pores and brown spots on patients seeking an non-surgical rejuvenation of their skin. This system can be tailored to your specific aesthetic goals while adapting to your skin temperature for optimal results each time.
MicroLaser Peel
Sciton’s MicroLaser Peel is a light laser resurfacing treatment that removes the outer layer of skin cells to reveal healthy, new skin beneath. It has become widely popular for reducing fine lines and wrinkles as well as improving acne scars, pigmentation issues, sun damage, and overall texture.
This procedure is highly effective in exfoliating the outer layer of skin and stimulating cellular regrowth that leads to collagen production for long-lasting improvement. Additionally, it’s an ideal option for patients who desire the benefits of a full strength peel but without having to endure the lengthy recovery time associated with those procedures.
MicroLaser Peel should be performed at least one to four times a year as part of an effective skincare routine. Most patients notice significant improvements in their skin tone and texture after just one treatment, though optimal outcomes are achieved with two or more treatments spaced approximately two months apart.
At the start of your treatment, a topical numbing agent will be applied to your skin for 15 minutes to provide maximum comfort. The Contour TRL then scans each area of skin before delivering precise laser energy that quickly evaporates outer skin cells.
In general, the procedure takes no more than 30 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. Some areas, such as the face or chest, may take longer to treat due to their larger size.
After your procedure, your skin may take on a “frosty” appearance. This is normal as dehydrated skin begins to peel away within days afterward.
After your MicroLaser Peel, a thin layer of ointment should be applied over the treated area to protect it from the sun and promote healing. Your doctor can give more specific details regarding how your skin will heal following this procedure.
Expect some mild redness and a sunburn-like sensation in the treated area, as well as some swelling. These effects should subside after several days as your skin regenerates and grows new, healthier cells.
Joule
Lasers are an increasingly popular and secure treatment for cosmetic skin concerns. A qualified dermatologist can administer various treatments with these tools to help patients achieve their desired outcomes.
One of the most versatile laser systems available is the Sciton Joule system, which offers various treatment options. This modular platform integrates multiple laser and light systems into one modular platform that can be custom built according to a doctor’s preferences.
Joule lasers offer an effective solution for skin rejuvenation, resurfacing, and repair. They can correct sun damage, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, as well as vascular lesions.
Another advantage of the Joule laser is that it can effectively treat a variety of pigmentation issues with minimal downtime. This includes red and brown spots, rosacea, and telangiectasias (spider veins).
Broadband light (BBL) is an intense pulsed light that uses wavelengths to target specific conditions like sun damage and wrinkles. It has the power to penetrate deeply into the dermis, stimulating neocollagenesis – or collagen production – for long-lasting effects.
The laser can also help reduce p-acne bacteria, which may be present on the skin’s surface or within the sebaceous gland. This is beneficial for acne as well as other hormonal concerns that affect men, women, and teens alike.
Furthermore, BBL technology can be employed to rapidly and comfortably remove unwanted body hair. This makes it ideal for patients who desire a quick and painless procedure with no downtime afterwards.
Another advantage of BBL technology is that it penetrates deep into dermal collagen, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and providing firmer skin.
Laser treatments such as CO2 laser resurfacing have proven particularly successful on darker skin types, since CO2 laser resurfacing could typically cause hyper-pigmentation and scarring on these individuals.
The HALO treatment works by utilizing both 1470 nm non-ablative and 2940 nm ablative lasers. The non-ablative laser coagulates a small area of skin to stimulate neocollagenesis, while the ablative laser penetrates dermis just like chemical peels do, providing you with an overall smoother, healthier complexion that appears younger-looking.
