Laser treatments have become some of the most popular nonsurgical solutions to a wide range of cosmetic concerns, from acne scars to wrinkles. Sciton offers some of the most advanced laser technology available, with a lineup of various laser types specifically designed to safely and effectively treat specific skin concerns.
Here, the team of laser specialists at SpaVie explain how Sciton laser treatments can tackle five of the most common skincare troubles.
Wrinkles
Wrinkles are an inevitable part of aging, but they don’t have to define your appearance. Sciton lasers, particularly the Halo™ hybrid fractional laser, are excellent for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The Halo laser combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to target both the surface of your skin and the deeper layers underneath. This dual action stimulates collagen production and cell renewal, leading to smoother, firmer skin over time. The result is a noticeable reduction in wrinkles and a more youthful complexion with minimal downtime.
Scars
Scars, whether from acne, surgery or injury, can be challenging to treat. Sciton lasers offer a powerful solution in the Contour TRL Laser Peel. This customizable laser peel gently strips away the outer layers of skin, targeting minor blemishes and imperfections. By removing damaged skin cells, the Contour TRL Laser Peel promotes the regeneration of new, healthier skin. This process helps to significantly reduce the appearance of scars, creating a smoother and clearer complexion. Over a series of treatments, scars become less noticeable, and the overall texture of your skin becomes smoother and more even.
Dark Spots
Dark spots, also known as hyperpigmentation, can be caused by factors like sun exposure, aging or hormonal changes. Sciton’s BroadBand Light (BBL) skin rejuvenation is highly effective in addressing these pigmentation issues. BBL works by delivering pulses of light energy that target the melanin in the skin, breaking down the pigment and allowing the body to naturally eliminate it. This treatment can significantly reduce the appearance of dark spots, resulting in a more even and radiant complexion. Regular BBL sessions can also help maintain clear, healthy-looking skin and prevent new spots from forming.
Redness
Sciton’s BBL therapy can also be an excellent treatment option to improve the appearance of red, flushed skin caused by rosacea, irritation or other sensitivities. The light energy targets the hemoglobin in blood vessels, reducing the appearance of redness and broken capillaries. This treatment is particularly effective for those with rosacea, helping to diminish the visible blood vessels and overall redness.
Uneven Texture
An uneven texture can make your skin look dull, rough and lackluster. Sciton laser treatments like Halo and the MicroLaserPeel® can remedy this by removing the outer layers of flaking, rough skin cells. The MicroLaserPeel specifically targets the skin’s surface, making it a gentle yet effective treatment option for uneven skin texture. Additionally, this laser peel is customizable, allowing Dr. Harrington to adjust your treatment based on your specific needs and goals.
