Unveiling the Sciton Laser for Facial Skin Resurfacing
The eyes are often considered windows to the soul, but they also tell a tale of age and wear. The delicate skin around the eyes is prone to wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, and pigmentation changes. The other areas of the face can show similar changes. Enter Profractional and Deep Level Resurfacing laser skin treatments, revolutionary solutions for rejuvenating the facial skin and eyelids. These treatments can effectively restore a youthful, refreshed appearance, with minimal downtime.
Understanding Sciton Profractional and Deep Laser Treatment for Eyelids and Facial Skin
The Profractional laser by Sciton is a fractional laser technology designed to target specific areas with pinpoint accuracy. When applied to the eyelids and facial skin, it delivers precise micro-beams of laser energy to the skin, stimulating collagen production and triggering the body's natural healing process.
In some people who have more advanced wrinkles , the Sciton Tunable Resurfacing Laser (TRL) may be used to perform deeper treatment of these areas. Similar to Profractional laser treatments, TRL treatments stimulate collage production, but are able to reach deeper layers of the skin impacted by the more advanced wrinkles.
What are Benefits of the Profractional Sciton Laser?
- Precision: The ability of the Profractional laser to target small, specific areas makes it an ideal choice for facial and eyelid skin rejuvenation. It can address fine lines, wrinkles, crow's feet, and uneven skin tone with unparalleled precision.
- Collagen Stimulation: By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, the laser encourages the production of collagen and elastin, which are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. This leads to smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking eyelid and facial skin over time.
- Customizable Treatment: Profractional Sciton laser treatments are highly customizable, allowing specialists to adjust the depth and intensity of the treatment based on individual skin concerns and goals.
- Minimal Downtime: While the intensity of the treatment may vary, many individuals experience minimal downtime following Profractional Sciton laser treatments. Some redness or mild swelling may occur initially, but these effects typically subside within a few days.
What is the Laser Treatment Process?
Before undergoing a Profractional Sciton laser treatment for the eyelids, individuals undergo a thorough consultation. During this consultation, the specialist evaluates the skin, discusses the individual’s concerns, and devises a tailored treatment plan.
The actual procedure involves the application of the Profractional laser to the targeted areas around the eyelids and facial skin. At our practice, all laser treatments are performed by one of our surgeons. The precise nature of the treatment ensures that the treatment is performed in a safe and comfortable way.
What Type of Anesthesia Is Used for Laser Treatments around the Eyes?
Topial and local anesthesia are used to make sure patients are comfortable during the laser treatments.
Are There Any Patients Who Should Not Have a Laser Skin Treatment?
Patients who have recently taken Accutane (isotretinoin) or other medications that result in sunlight sensitivity may not be good candidates for these treatments. During your consultation, our surgeons will perform a full evaluation to determine whether you have other conditions that may impact your recovery from these treatments.
When Can I expect to see Results?
Following the treatment, proper aftercare is essential to optimize results and support the skin’s healing process. This may include gentle skincare, avoiding sun exposure, and adhering to any specific post-treatment instructions that are provided.
Results from Profractional and Deep Sciton laser treatments of the eyelids gradually become noticeable as the skin heals and collagen production increases. Over time, individuals can expect firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking eyelid skin, with improvements in texture and pigmentation.
