SCITON’S LIGHT-BASED LASER HAIR REDUCTION IS AN EFFECTIVE AND NON-INVASIVE TREATMENT THAT USES BROADBAND LIGHT, OR BBL TO REDUCE UNWANTED HAIR. THE BBL DEVICE DELIVERS A GENTLE WAVELENGTH THAT TARGETS THE PIGMENT WITHIN THE HAIR SHAFT, WHILE LEAVING THE SURROUNDING SKIN UNHARMED. SINCE HAIR GROWS IN STAGES, A SERIES OF 6-8+ TREATMENTS SPACED 6 WEEKS APART IS TYPICAL FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS, BUT INDIVIDUAL RESULTS MAY VARY.
FOLLOWING EACH TREATMENT, YOU WILL NOTICE A GRADUAL REDUCTION IN HAIR THICKNESS AND DENSITY. DEPENDING ON DIFFERENT FACTORS, MOST SKIN TONES AND HAIR TEXTURES CAN EXPERIENCE A 70%-80% OVERALL REDUCTION OF HAIR. IF HAIR GROWS BACK, IT IS TYPICALLY FINER AND LESS NOTICEABLE THAN PRIOR TO TREATMENT. 1-2 TIMES YEARLY MAINTENANCE CAN HELP ELIMINATE FURTHER HAIR GROWTH AFTER INITIAL SERIES OF TREATMENTS.
IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT YOU CANNOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF TAN ON THE SKIN, INCLUDING SUNLESS TANNER, PRIOR TO TREATMENT. IF THE SKIN IS TANNED, THE PIGMENT IN THE SKIN ABSORBS THE LIGHT FROM THE LASER, RATHER THAN THE PIGMENT IN THE HAIR SHAFT, AND REDUCES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE TREATMENT. IT’S ALSO IMPORTANT TO BE AWARE THAT, UNFORTUNATELY, INDIVIDUALS WITH BLONDE, WHITE, OR GRAY HAIRS TYPICALLY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH PIGMENT TARGET TO BE A CANDIDATE FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL.
BROADBAND LIGHT (BBL) OR INTENSE-PULSED LIGHT (IPL) TREATMENTS USE A BROAD SPECTRUM OF LIGHT WAVELENGTHS TO TARGET PIGMENT ISSUES IN THE SKIN, SUCH AS BROWN SPOTS, SUN DAMAGE, REDNESS, ETC. ALSO COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A ‘PHOTOFACIAL,’ THE SKIN ABSORBS THIS LIGHT ENERGY, WHICH HELPS ENHANCE AND BRIGHTEN THE COMPLEXION, AND BOOSTS SKIN’S SELF-HEALING ABILITIES.
SOME OF THE MOST COMMON SKIN ISSUES THAT CAN BE TARGETED WITH BBL/IPL TREATMENTS ARE SUN DAMAGE, SCARS, DULL SKIN, FINE LINES + WRINKLES, REDNESS, AGE SPOTS, FRECKLES, UNEVEN SKIN TONE, AND HYPERPIGMENTATION. THIS NON-INVASIVE AND NON-ABLATIVE TREATMENT DOES NOT DAMAGE THE SKIN, MAKING IT A GREAT OPTION FOR THOSE WHO WANT LITTLE TO NO DOWNTIME.
SKIN PREPARATION IS CRUCIAL FOR AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT. IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT SKIN CANNOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF TAN, INCLUDING SUNLESS TANNER, AT LEAST 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO TREATMENT. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO AVOID SUN EXPOSURE FOR AT LEAST 2 WEEKS FOLLOWING TREATMENT AS WELL. HAVING A TAN ON THE SKIN CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF COMPLICATIONS, SUCH AS POTENTIAL BLISTERING AND DISCOLORATION, AND CAN MAKE PIGMENTED AREAS EVEN WORSE.
RESTORE THE APPEARANCE OF A HEALTHY, YOUTHFUL COMPLEXION AND REMOVE VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGED SKIN WITH PROFRACTIONAL LASER RESURFACING. THIS FRACTIONATED ERBIUM LASER RE-TEXTURIZES AND REMODELS PHOTO-AGED OR SUN-DAMAGED SKIN, REVITALIZES SKIN THAT HAS BEEN MARKED BY ACNE SCARS IN EARLIER YEARS, AND REJUVENATES SKIN THAT HAS LOST ITS GLOW.
THINK OF A PROFRACTIONAL TREATMENT AS AERATING THE LAWN. MICRO-CHANNELS ARE CREATED IN THE SKIN WHERE HEAT AND ENERGY ARE DIRECTED TO SECTIONS OF THE SKIN IN A GRID-LIKE PATTERN. RATHER THAN PRODUCING ONE CONCENTRATED BEAM OF LASER SKIN RESURFACING, FRACTIONAL LASERS TARGET THESE MICROSCOPIC SECTIONS WHILE LEAVING THE REST OF THE SKIN IN THE ‘GRID’ PATTERN INTACT TO HELP WITH QUICKER HEALING. SKIN WILL START TO REGENERATE OVER THE FOLLOWING WEEKS-MONTHS AND CAN LEAD TO A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE IN ACNE SCARRING, FINE LINES, AGE SPOTS, DULLNESS, SKIN LAXITY, UNEVEN TONE, AND MORE.
PROFRACTIONAL LASER IS SAFE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES, THOUGH A CONSULTATION IS RECOMMENDED FIRST TO ENSURE IT IS THE BEST OPTION FOR YOU. DOWNTIME WILL VARY FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL DEPENDING ON THE DEPTH OF THE TREATMENT, BUT REDNESS AND PEELING CAN LAST UP TO A WEEK OR MORE.
MICROLASERPEEL IS THE PERFECT TOOL FOR IMPROVING MILD TO MODERATE WRINKLES THAT ARE THE RESULT OF SUN DAMAGE AND HYPERPIGMENTATION. IT’S DESIGNED FOR SKIN REJUVENATION BY REMOVING THE SUPERFICIAL LAYERS OF THE SKIN, WHILE TIGHTENING THE UNDERLYING DEEPER DERMIS. THE DEPTH OF THE TREATMENT IS CUSTOMIZABLE DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY OF THE WRINKLE. THE LASER ENERGY INTENSELY STIMULATES NEW COLLAGEN GROWTH, LEAVING SKIN TIGHTER, HEALTHIER, AND YOUNGER LOOKING.
WHILE RESULTS CAN BE NOTICEABLE AFTER A SINGLE TREATMENT, MOST PATIENTS WILL REQUIRE A SERIES OF TREATMENTS FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS. REDNESS, SWELLING, AND SOME PEELING IS COMMON FOLLOWING A MICROLASERPEEL TREATMENT, WITH FULL HEALING TIME RANGING ANYWHERE FROM 6-10 DAYS. AS WITH OTHER LASER TREATMENTS, IT’S IMPORTANT TO AVOID EXCESSIVE SUN EXPOSURE FOR AT LEAST TWO WEEKS PRIOR AND TWO WEEKS AFTER YOUR PROCEDURE.

SKIN TAGS ARE EXTREMELY COMMON, SMALL SKIN GROWTHS THAT MOST OFTEN OCCUR ON THE FACE, EYELIDS, NECK, UNDER BREASTS, AND OTHER SKIN FOLDS. WHILE THEY ARE TYPICALLY HARMLESS, SOME PATIENTS MAY FIND THEM ANNOYING AND WISH TO HAVE THEM REMOVED. THE LESIONS ARE ESSENTIALLY ‘VAPORIZED’ WITH AN INTENSE BEAM OF LIGHT WITHOUT BURNING THE SKIN, MAKING LASER REMOVAL THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET RID OF SKIN TAGS WITH MINIMAL TO NO DISCOMFORT. THE AREAS HEAL QUITE RAPIDLY, WITH THE GROWTHS FALLING OFF WITHIN A WEEK, AND GENERALLY HAVE NO SIDE EFFECTS AFTER REMOVAL.
MOST PATIENTS EXPERIENCE NO DOWNTIME AND VERY MINIMAL PAIN, BUT A TOPICAL NUMBING CREAM CAN BE APPLIED TO THE AREA FOR FURTHER COMFORT. GROWTHS RARELY GROW BACK AND SHOULD NOT SCAR, HOWEVER THERE IS NO WAY TO PREVENT NEW SKIN TAGS FROM DEVELOPING OVER TIME.
