Lasers by Sciton
Renew, Resurface, and Restore
Advanced laser technology uses focused light energy to remove damaged skin layers while promoting natural collagen production. By precisely targeting specific skin concerns at various depths, these treatments enhance texture, reduce scarring, and help healthy new skin grow. Laser therapy works especially well for treating acne scars, sun spots, melasma, fine lines, and improving overall skin quality. You can see changes after just one treatment, though the best results typically come through a series of sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
