FAQ

MOXI is a prerejuvenation fractionated laser device designed to refresh and rejuvenate the skin while also helping delay aging. The device uses non-ablative laser energy to promote skin health and treat skin imperfections. It can prevent the most common signs of aging while treating visible ones. The treatment can be scheduled year-round and takes 12 to 15 minutes to complete after applying a pre-treatment numbing solution.

Patients can wear makeup 24 hours after their treatment. Results are noticeable within the first five to seven days, and patients can expect the best results after scheduling three to four treatments with four to five weeks between each.

What It Treats

We can use MOXI laser treatments to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, reverse the effects of aging, treat minor skin laxity, improve skin texture, promote a more uniform complexion, and help younger patients maintain healthy and youthful skin.

The NanoLaserPeel by Sciton is one of our laser treatments that can revitalize, refresh, and renew the skin. It’s a lunchtime peel that can brighten and perfect the treatment area without significant social downtime. This device uses an erbium laser to remove the superficial layer of the skin to rejuvenate the treatment area by increasing collagen and elastin production.

A typical treatment takes 15 to 30 minutes, and patients will have the option of a topical anesthetic if desired. Patients must follow some aftercare instructions for the first one to two days and will see noticeable results within two weeks. The best results typically come from a treatment plan that includes one to three treatment sessions.

What It Treats

We can use the NanoLaserPeel to shrink enlarged pores, improve the appearance of aging skin, brighten dull skin, eliminate fine lines, and promote clearer and smoother skin. This device can also improve skin tone by eliminating dark spots and other common types of discoloration.

MicroLaserPeel is a laser treatment that treats surface skin imperfections, including dull skin, dry, flaking skin, redness, an uneven skin texture, large pores, pigmentation, and acne. Treatments typically take 30 to 60 minutes and are virtually painless with a topical pre-treatment numbing solution.

Patients must follow specific aftercare instructions to promote healing for the first four to 14 days after treatment. The best results are visible within the first two weeks and will continue to improve in the six months following. Patients can expect optimal results after one to three treatments.

What It Treats

We can use the MicroLaserPeel to reverse sun damage, eliminate pigmented skin irregularities, improve the appearance of a poor or uneven skin tone, shrink large pores, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. We can also use it to reverse skin laxity, treat deep wrinkles, solar spots, scars, and actinic keratoses, and promote healthy, glowing skin.

The ProFractional skin revitalization and deep resurfacing treatment by Sciton stimulates natural collagen and elastin production and can help patients achieve youthful and revitalized skin. The device targets a fraction of the skin without harming the surrounding tissue. This technique allows for quick healing and a visible improvement in the treatment area. Before the treatment, we can apply a topical anesthetic to the area for added comfort.

Treatments take 45 to 60 minutes, and patients must follow aftercare instructions for the first week. Results are visible within the first few weeks and can last six to 12 months. Social downtime typically lasts 3-5 days with full recovery within 7-10 days. After a treatment, patients can expect tighter and smoother skin, an improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, and a more vibrant complexion.

What It Treats

We can use the ProFractional laser to improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles, brighten dull skin, treat acne scars, and as a scar revision treatment.

We also offer photofacials with our BBL devices that use pulsed light to deliver phototherapy treatments to visibly improve skin tone, texture, and health. These devices can address a broad range of skin conditions resulting from natural aging and sun exposure.

How They Work

During these treatments, the BBL devices deliver light energy into the skin to heat the superficial layers. The skin absorbs the heat, which causes tissue coagulation, increased natural collagen production, and skin tightening results. This photothermal energy can also target and eliminate the small vessels within the skin that are responsible for redness and discoloration.

Our Sciton BBL devices can change the gene expressions associated with the aging process. Patients who undergo a photofacial with one of our BBL devices can expect little to no downtime, long-lasting results, and quick treatments.

The BBL HERO has a cooling mechanism that maintains a comfortable skin temperature during treatments. Patients can expect visible results after one to two sessions, including significantly improved skin elasticity, texture, and tone.

What It Treats

We can use the BBL HERO to eliminate freckles, sun spots, age spots, small facial veins, and cherry angiomas and improve the appearance of rosacea. It can also revitalize and brighten a dull complexion, eliminate and prevent acne, improve the appearance of skin laxity, and even remove unwanted hair. We can use it to treat smaller and larger facial and body areas, including the arms, legs, and back.

Tixel is an innovative thermal treatment technology used for skin rejuvenation and resurfacing. Unlike traditional laser treatments, Tixel utilizes thermo-mechanical energy to deliver controlled heat to the skin, promoting collagen production and improving skin texture. It is suitable for various skin types and can be used on different parts of the body.

Key Features of Tixel

  • Technology: Tixel uses a medical-grade titanium tip that heats up to a specific temperature and is applied to the skin in a fractional manner. The controlled heat creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen production.

  • Mechanism of Action: The device transfers thermal energy directly to the skin’s surface, creating micro-channels without the use of laser or radiofrequency. This controlled thermal injury promotes collagen remodeling and skin rejuvenation.

Applications of Tixel

  • Skin Resurfacing: Tixel is effective for treating fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial skin irregularities, providing smoother and more youthful-looking skin.

  • Acne Scars and Stretch Marks: It helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks by promoting collagen production and skin remodeling.

  • Skin Tightening: The thermal energy induces collagen contraction and remodeling, leading to tighter and firmer skin.

  • Hyperpigmentation and Melasma: Tixel can improve skin tone and reduce hyperpigmentation and melasma by promoting even skin tone and texture.

  • Periorbital and Perioral Wrinkles: Tixel is particularly effective for treating delicate areas around the eyes and mouth, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Benefits of Tixel

  • Minimally Invasive: Tixel is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that requires no needles or lasers, reducing the risk of complications and side effects.

  • Minimal Downtime: Patients typically experience minimal downtime, with faster recovery compared to traditional laser treatments. Most patients can resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure.

  • Versatility: Tixel can be used on various skin types and on different areas of the body, making it a versatile option for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

  • Comfortable Treatment: The procedure is generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort during and after the treatment. The use of topical anesthesia can enhance patient comfort.

  • Safe for Sensitive Areas: Tixel is safe for use on sensitive areas, such as around the eyes and lips, where traditional laser treatments may be too harsh.

Ideal Candidates

Tixel is suitable for individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and achieve overall skin rejuvenation without undergoing invasive procedures. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking a safe and effective treatment for delicate areas like the periorbital and perioral regions.

Sofwave is an advanced non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses high-frequency, low-divergence ultrasound technology to stimulate collagen production and improve skin laxity. It is designed to address fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin, providing a smoother and more youthful appearance with minimal downtime.

Key Features of Sofwave

  • Technology: Sofwave utilizes Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB™ technology, which delivers ultrasound energy precisely to the mid-dermis, without affecting the skin’s surface. This focused ultrasound energy induces collagen remodeling and regeneration.

  • Mechanism of Action: The ultrasound waves create controlled thermal injury in the dermis, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and promoting the production of new collagen. This process leads to skin tightening and improvement in skin texture over time.

Applications of Sofwave

  • Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Sofwave effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the forehead, eyes, and mouth.

  • Skin Tightening: The treatment improves skin laxity by promoting collagen production, resulting in firmer and tighter skin on the face, neck, and décolletage.

  • Non-Surgical Facelift: Sofwave provides a non-surgical alternative to traditional facelifts, offering a lifting and tightening effect without the need for incisions or anesthesia.

Benefits of Sofwave

  • Non-Invasive: Sofwave is a non-invasive treatment that requires no needles, incisions, or anesthesia, minimizing the risk of complications and side effects.

  • Minimal Downtime: Patients typically experience minimal downtime, allowing them to return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure. Some mild redness or swelling may occur but usually subsides within a few hours.

  • Quick Treatment: A Sofwave session typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules.

  • Long-Lasting Results: The collagen stimulation process initiated by Sofwave continues to improve the skin’s appearance over several months, with results lasting up to a year or more.

  • Comfortable Procedure: Sofwave treatments are generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort during the procedure. A cooling mechanism is used to enhance patient comfort.

  • Safe for All Skin Types: Sofwave is suitable for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for a wide range of patients seeking skin rejuvenation.

Ideal Candidates

Sofwave is ideal for individuals looking to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin without undergoing invasive procedures. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking a quick, effective, and low-downtime treatment for facial and neck rejuvenation.
