Sciton has a Breakthrough Technology

Over the years, Sciton lasers have been developed to be applied in a number of aesthetic, cosmetic and medical procedures, and health practitioners and aestheticians are encouraged by the company to keep learning about the functions of the lasers through its educational series of webinars aimed at health professionals and laser users. Founded back in 1997, Sciton Incorporated is located in Palo Alto, California. Sciton Incorporated is well known for a number of popular cosmetic laser and aesthetic laser models, including the Joule laser system. Today, Joule has been expanded to include a number of other models, including the BBL, the Clear Scan ALX, the Clear Scan YAG, the Countour TRL, Pro Lipo Plus, the Skin Tyte II, Clear Sense and the Therma Scan. Some of the popular treatments that Sciton laser machines are used for include acne, lipolysis, hair reduction, phototherapy, skin firming, wrinkle reduction and vascular conditions.

Products by Sciton:

1. Sciton Profile MP Laser Equipment

The Sciton Profile MP laser equipment is one of the most diverse cosmetic laser systems, medical laser systems or aesthetic laser systems available on the market. Because it works with so many different Sciton Profile MP laser heads, the Sciton Profile MP laser system can operate using different wavelengths and even using different laser types.

2. Sciton JOULE Halo

The Sciton Halo is a unique fractional laser, in that it can simultaneously deliver ablative and non-ablative skin treatments, overlapping one another, or interspersed across a treatment area. Clinicians are given full control over the Halo’s treatment modes. The power balance of the two Halo lasers can be adjusted relative to one another, or the practitioner can choose to disable one laser or the other entirely, delivering solely ablative or non-ablative treatments. For ablative treatments, the projection depth of the laser can be tuned as desired.

The Halo is a powerful skin rejuvenation system, and can produce results including:

Improvement in the general tone and texture of skin
The removal of pigmentation spots and birthmarks
The reduction of facial lines and wrinkles
Repair of damage to skin texture and coloration caused by sun
Reduction in pore size
Removal or fading of scars resulting from acne, injury, or surgery
Halo treatments typically require about two hours from start to finish. Initially, a numbing agent is applied to the treatment area, and up to an hour is allowed for it to take effect. The actual treatment with the Halo module usually requires between 30 and 45 minutes, and then a short rest period follows in which cooling treatments can be applied.

The Halo’s handpiece includes incredibly sophisticated sensors that optimize treatment. The DTO sensor (Dynamic Thermal Optimization) continuously measures sin temperature, and adjusts the energy and pulse width of the laser as necessary. Secondly, the optical navigation sensor registers the speed at which the handpiece moves across the skin, and adjusts the density and power of the energy projected into the skin in order to maintain even, consistent results across the entire targeted region of the body.

For the purposes of comfort and safety, a suction device removes smoke and debris during treatment, and a contact cooling tip maintains the desired surface skin temperature.

3. Sciton JOULE ProFractional

The Sciton ProFractional module employs an unusual treatment mode that differentiates it from both fully ablative and typical fractional laser systems. The ProFractional uses an erbium:YAG laser to ablate narrow, continuous channels into the skin. This combines the benefits of pinpoint fractional and full ablative treatments. The continuous bands of exposure prompt a more pronounced healing response from the immune system, as is the case with full coverage treatments, while also minimizing recovery times by leaving most tissue untouched.

The ProFractional uses a spot size of 250 micrometers, and the density of the exposure channels can be adjusted between 1 1/2% and 30% of the total surface area. The ProFractional-XC, a variant of the original ProFractional model, offers faster treatments by using a larger spot size of 430 micrometers. The ablation treatment depth can also adjusted between 25 and 1500 micrometers. However, Sciton’s TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) technology allows the user to adjust the depth of ablation and tissue coagulation separately.

ProFractional treatment sessions produce skin that looks years younger. The ProFractional is able to treat problems such as sun damage, age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and scars caused by acne, surgery, or accident. The typical recovery time after treatment ranges between 3 and 6 days, depending on the percentage of coverage and the ablation depth.

4. Sciton JOULE SkinTyte and SkinTyte II

For those wishing to improve their skin tone without the recovery time associated with ablative treatments, the Sciton SkinTyte–now in its second edition–is the ideal soltuion. The SkinTyte uses the projection of infrared energy to heat tissue beneath the skin, causing tissue coagulation and kick-starting the body’s natural healing mechanisms and production of collagen. This results in a tighter, more toned surface appearance.

The SkinTyte has an extremely large spot size of 15 mm by 45 mm, meaning that treatments can be completed extremely quickly, allowing for extraordinary patient turnover and increased profits. If you wish to also offer more focused treatments, there are three sizes of Finesse Adapters which attach to the handpiece magnetically, and produce a modified spot size of 15 x 15 mm square, or circular exposure spots with diameters of 11 mm and 7 mm.

The Sciton SkinTyte incorporates a sapphire cooling tip, and using feedback from built-in sensors, can perfectly maintain a user-set temperature ranging from 32 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 30 degrees Celsius).
