What Is Sciton Profile
Sciton Profile™ is a multi-functional laser platform that allows board-certified dermatologists to customize treatment depth, intensity, and laser modality based on your skin concerns and recovery preferences. This versatility makes Sciton Profile an important component of laser skin resurfacing, collagen-focused treatments, and combination laser protocols designed to deliver natural-looking results.
Depending on your goals, Sciton Profile may be used on its own or layered with other laser, light, and energy devices to address multiple skin concerns in a single treatment plan.
Photorejuvenation Support
Helps improve diffuse sun damage, dullness, and uneven skin tone when combined with light- and pigment-targeting treatments such as IPL, Pulsed Dye Laser, Alexandrite, or other photorejuvenation devices.
Scar Refinement
Softens the appearance of mild acne scars and early surgical scars by improving surface texture and supporting collagen remodeling without aggressive resurfacing.
Collagen Stimulation & Skin Quality Improvement
Encourages long-term improvements in skin firmness, smoothness, and overall skin quality, making it well suited for patients experiencing early collagen loss or loss of skin vitality.
Combination Laser Treatments
Frequently integrated into customized combination laser treatment plans, including Take5 and select Take10 protocols. Sciton Profile is often layered with lasers such as Fraxel®, Clear + Brilliant®, Vbeam®, IPL, or other laser, light, and energy devices to refine texture, support collagen remodeling, and enhance overall results.
Evens Out Skin Tone
Sciton Profile laser treatments help even out skin tone by addressing surface irregularities and diffuse discoloration caused by sun exposure and aging. As part of laser skin resurfacing, this treatment promotes a clearer, more balanced complexion and is often combined with pigment-specific technologies for optimal tone refinement.
Tightens Skin and Accelerates Collagen Production
By delivering laser energy into deeper layers of the skin, Sciton Profile supports skin tightening and accelerates collagen and elastic fiber production. This process helps the skin appear firmer, smoother, and more resilient over time, making it an effective laser for wrinkles and early laxity.
Eliminates Age Spots and Superficial Lesions
Sciton Profile can be used to improve the appearance of age spots and superficial lesions by resurfacing damaged skin and encouraging healthier skin regeneration. The number of laser treatments needed depends on lesion depth, size, and overall skin condition.
Removes Actinic Keratosis and Moles
Sciton Profile laser skin treatments may be used to remove actinic keratosis and select moles when clinically appropriate. Actinic keratoses are precancerous lesions caused by prolonged sun exposure, and early treatment supports skin health and long term monitoring under dermatologist supervision.
Gets Rid of Acne
Laser treatments for face acne with Sciton Profile work by reducing acne-causing bacteria and shrinking sebaceous glands that produce excess oil. Laser skin treatments also stimulate collagen production, helping repair acne-damaged skin and reduce the likelihood of future breakouts.
Improves Rhinophyma Related Skin Thickening
Sciton Profile laser resurfacing can improve rhinophyma by precisely removing excess tissue and smoothing uneven skin texture, particularly on the nose. By carefully reshaping thickened skin and promoting healthier regeneration, this laser treatment helps restore more balanced contours while supporting long-term skin quality under expert clinical care.
