Are you in search of non-surgical solutions to reverse years of deep wrinkles, sun damage, or acne scarring? At Desert Eyesthetics, we offer a wide range of laser resurfacing treatments brought to you by Sciton, ranging from gentle lunchtime peels to deep corrective resurfacing. We tailor every treatment to your needs to reveal a clear, smooth, and radiant complexion.
One of the things that sets the Sciton platform apart is its incredible range. Every treatment uses erbium laser technology, with different settings and delivery methods depending on the depth and goals of treatment. The deeper the treatment, the more significant the concerns addressed, the more dramatic the results, and the longer the recovery time.
The following is a look at the Sciton laser resurfacing treatments we offer, from the most
superficial to the deepest:
NanoLaserPeel – The Refresh Treatment: NanoLaserPeel is the most superficial option in the Sciton resurfacing family, and it’s designed for a fast, effective refresh. The “weekend peel” can address dullness, fine surface lines, enlarged pores, and uneven texture with minimal downtime. Most patients experience mild redness for 1 to 2 days and are back to their daily routine in no time.
The NanoLaserPeel is ideal for patients looking to maintain a beautifully youthful complexion between deeper treatments or for those wanting a noticeable improvement in their skin’s glow and texture without significant downtime or recovery time.
MicroLaserPeel – Precision Surface Renewal: The MicroLaserPeel removes the outermost layers of your skin to address moderate surface concerns, including rough texture, enlarged pores, mild wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven tone and texture. It goes deeper than a NanoLaserPeel and produces more noticeable results, with a recovery of about 3 to 4 days in most cases.
The MicroLaserPeel treatment offers an excellent solution for patients wanting visible improvement without the downtime of a deeper treatment. Results can continue to improve for up to six months, and treatments can be repeated every 6 to 8 weeks.
ProFractional – Fractionated Erbium Resurfacing: ProFractional takes a different approach. Rather than removing the surface of the skin, it creates narrow treatment channels across a fraction of the skin, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. Those untreated areas accelerate healing, resulting in meaningful outcomes with significantly less downtime than with full-field resurfacing.
ProFractional resurfacing can address acne scars, deeper wrinkles, and textural irregularities, with most patients back to their normal activities within a few days. Initial results appear within the first week, with continued improvement for up to six months.
Contour TRL – Deep Resurfacing: Contour TRL is the most powerful resurfacing treatment we offer. The laser removes the outer layers of skin to a precise, controlled depth, targeting deep folds and wrinkles, significant sun damage, acne scarring, uneven pigmentation, and stubborn lines around the mouth and eyes. With Contour TRL, we can adjust the depth of ablation and the level of thermal coagulation with each pulse, allowing us to customize your treatments to address your concerns.
Recovery varies with the depth of treatment. Lighter Contour TRL treatments may heal in seven to ten days. Deeper resurfacing can involve two weeks or more of downtime, followed by some residual redness as the skin fully heals. Results are often achieved with a single treatment, although some patients may benefit from a series of 1 to 3 treatments, depending on their goals. Collagen remodeling continues for up to six months after each session.
Yes, and in some cases, combining treatments produces better results than either would alone. For example, ProFractional and MicroLaserPeel are often combined in a single session to address both deeper textural concerns and surface quality. Dr. Garcia will discuss your options and help you determine whether a combined approach is right for you.
Preparation depends on the depth of the treatment. For deeper resurfacing, such as Contour TRL, we typically ask patients to avoid certain skincare ingredients, retinoids, and sun exposure in the weeks leading up to their appointment. We’ll provide you with pre-treatment instructions to ensure the best possible outcomes.
The number of sessions needed will depend on the depth of your resurfacing treatment and your concerns. A single Contour TRL session can produce dramatic results for some patients, while ProFractional and MicroLaserPeel work best as a series of 2 to 3 treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. NanoLaserPeel can be repeated more frequently as a maintenance treatment. Dr. Garcia will create a custom treatment plan outlining the ideal frequency of treatments to deliver your desired results.
