Our laser resurfacing technology is versatile and was developed to treat several skin layers gently. The Sciton Joule laser penetrates the targeted area at customized depths within the micron. This lets us provide patients with personalized treatments and improve a variety of skin concerns. Laser systems have drastically improved throughout the years, and harsh solutions were replaced with gentle solutions with minimal downtime. This advanced laser delivers amplified light beams within the skin. Lasers like Joule let us customize the settings of the wavelength to optimally target the precise depth we would like to treat and are excellent for improving superficial skin concerns.
Benefits of Laser Resurfacing Treatment

- Minimizes the appearance of wrinkles
- Improves the skin tone
THE TREATMENT
The Sciton Joule has various attachment options that let us customize the laser wavelength depth to suit the patient’s concerns. The longer wavelengths can penetrate deeper within the skin as the laser wavelengths cause a thermal effect that results in controlled damage to skin imperfections. The darker pigments absorb heat quicker, and acne, sunspots, and other conditions are removed while preserving the health of the surrounding skin. The thermal effect activates resurfacing and effectively treats acne and wrinkles. The laser wavelengths with reduced frequencies stimulate new collagen production for firmer skin. We’ll cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream to improve your comfort. You’ll be given eyewear to protect your eyes from the laser’s bright light beams, and your treatment starts. Laser treatments deliver laser energy from a handheld device that is hovered over your skin to ensure even coverage. We may apply the laser to the targeted area for a few rounds to penetrate it with the entire regenerative effect. Most patients get multiple treatments to achieve optimal results depending on their skin concerns and the type of laser used in the procedure.
FAQ
Which areas are treated?
The treated areas include the face, neck, and chest.
When will I see the results?
The collagen will regenerate and improve for four to six months after treatment. Within the first week, you’ll notice even-toned skin. The deeper layers of the skin will continue to respond to treatment.
