What Are the Potential Benefits of the Sciton^® Erbium Laser Skin Resurfacing?

A product of the internationally renowned manufacturer Sciton^®, this laser’s benefits include:

Precision: Allows for precise ablation of tissue, enabling targeted treatment of specific skin areas while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
Customization: Offers adjustable settings to tailor treatments for individual skin types and conditions.
Dual Treatment Capability: Can often be combined with other modalities, like BroadBand Light Therapy ( “BBL^™”), to enhance results.
Safe for All Skin Types: Generally considered safe for various skin types, including darker skin tones, when used correctly.
Reduced Side Effects: Lower risk of hyperpigmentation and scarring compared to traditional CO2 lasers.

What Can the Sciton^® Erbium Laser Achieve?

The Sciton^® Erbium laser offers exceptional versatility as a customizable treatment. Using the advanced Contour TRL^® (“tunable resurfacing laser”), the Sciton^® Erbium laser can precisely remove the skin’s surface layer, encouraging cell renewal. This process can achieve a variety of aesthetic goals, including:

Skin Resurfacing: Effective in reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots while improving overall skin texture and tone.
Wrinkle Reduction: Treats fine lines and deep wrinkles, especially around the eyes and mouth.
Skin Tightening: Stimulates collagen production, helping to improve skin elasticity and firmness.
Acne Scarring: Reduces the appearance of acne scars and other types of scarring.
Pigmentation Issues: Targets age spots, sun damage, and other pigmentation irregularities.

What Does the Sciton^® Erbium Laser Skin Resurfacing Procedure Involve?

At our practice, the non-surgical Sciton^® Erbium procedure can be performed by one of our skilled Atlanta plastic surgeons in the operating room or by our Nurse Practitioner, Jenny Azar, MS, NP-C. Depending on the area or areas being treated, the process typically takes 30 minutes to an hour.

Following the procedure, patients may experience moderate redness, peeling, and swelling, which typically subsides within 10-14 days. Patients are advised to follow post-treatment instructions carefully, which may include moisturizing and avoiding sun exposure to optimize healing and results.
