Sciton Laser Treatments

The Sciton Laser is today’s state-of-the-art laser technology that allows medical technicians to use different tips for different kinds of treatment including Broadband Light Photorejuvenation, MicroLaserPeel, SkinTyte and a combination called the South Beach Peel.

Broadband Light Photorejuvenation

The Sciton Laser, today’s state-of-the-art laser technology that delivers two precious benefits—minimized downtime and less pain with any procedure—along with being the most effective laser on the market for skin photorejuvenation.

This treatment delivers light energy to the skin to heat the surface layers of the skin. The head absorbed by the targeted areas stimulates the skin cells to generate new collagen. This process restores your skin to its natural beauty, eliminating blemishes, making the skin smoother, vibrant and younger looking.

In addition, this treatment targets and eliminates many of the fine vessels that cause redness and unwanted melanin responsible for pigmented lesions caused by sun damage. Skin problems like dyschromia, hyperpigmentation, melasma, ephelides, warts, scars, striae, port wine stains, and other vascular birthmarks are removed using the Sciton. Plus, the Sciton is used for laser hair removal as well.

This remarkable laser is used on all parts of the body from the face to hands to arms and neck. Its integrated thermo-electric cooled sapphire plate keeps the treatment area safe and cool and the broadband light technology means more efficiency, longer lifetime and greater control. BBL has the widest single pulse width range in the industry, and can also deliver double or triple pulses for advanced treatments.

After treatment, you will experience slight redness that will resolve within two hours. Pigmented sun damage will darken and then fade before flaking off. Your skin, where treated, will feel smoother and fine wrinkles and pores will be less noticeable and sunspots or uneven pigmentation will fade.

MicroLaserPeel

MicroLaserPeel, known as the Weekend Peel, treats skin conditions associated with aging and active life styles. MicroLaserPeel is the ideal treatment for those patients that want improved skin with immediate lasting results, little time off, discomfort, or post-treatment care.

PROFILE Contour - 2940 Er:Yag is the most versatile system available for MicroLaserPeel and full resurfacing. Profile's unique technology allows you to select precise levels of ablation and coagulation, while the computer guided scanner ensures maximum precision and treatment uniformity.

Select from 20 to 50 microns of clean vaporization. The Computer-guided scanner fixes the ideal beam overlap for perfect coverage and uniform ablation not possible with other systems. User selectable depth, rate, and scan pattern make Sciton’s MicroLaserPeel simple, safe, and reproducible.

SkinTyte

SkinTyte is another treatment using the Sciton BBL pulsed light to treat and deeply heat dermal collagen. The heat also initiates the body’s natural healing process, which creates a renewed collagen foundation leading to increased skin firmness.

SkinTyte selectively targets and treats dermal collagen. The result is partial coagulation and contraction of collagen. The powerful cooling system maintains the outer surface of the skin at cool temperatures before, during and after each pulse of broadband light making this treatment comfortable and safe.

Patients experience mild redness in the treated area immediately after treatment and this will last only 15 minutes. Since the SkinTyte procedure is non-invasive, there is no downtime, so you can resume your normal activities immediately following treatment. SkinTyte is safe for all skin types and can be performed on any area of the body. Face, neck hands, abdomen and arms.

South Beach Peel

The South Beach Peel combines Broadband Light treatment first followed by a Microlaser Peel. Patients see a 90 percent improvement in sun damage spots and collagen tightening for fine lines and wrinkles with this treatment.

After a South Beach Peel, sun damage pigment will turn dark and you will experience redness and warmth like a sunburn sensation. Healing takes five days during which you will have sloughing of the skin. Redness will fad on the fifth day and makeup can be used on the sixth day.
