Sciton is the world’s leader in laser and light-based medical aesthetics, offering advanced solutions that range from gentle, no-downtime treatments to comprehensive resurfacing procedures. Each FDA-cleared device in our arsenal targets specific concerns using different wavelengths, depths and delivery methods to achieve optimal results for your unique skin type and goals.
At Fox Valley Plastic Surgery Medispa, we offer the complete Sciton platform, giving our experienced team the flexibility to customize your treatment plan based on your skin’s current condition and your desired outcome. Whether you need the gentle maintenance of BBL or the more dramatic transformations of deeper resurfacing, we have the right tool for the job.
Sciton lasers are effective for most patients looking to improve their skin’s health and appearance. The variety of options available means we can accommodate different skin types, concerns and comfort levels with minimal downtime. You’re likely an excellent candidate if you’re:
Every person’s skin is unique, and some treatments deliver better results depending on your needs and skin type. During your consultation, our team will discuss your needs and evaluate the health of your skin with VISIA Complexion Analysis, capturing high-resolution images to reveal what isn’t always visible to the naked eye, including sun damage, pore size, wrinkles, pigmentation and more. This helps us determine which treatment will deliver the most impactful results and help you achieve your unique goals.
Best for: Early prevention, gentle rejuvenation, pigmentation, all skin types
Not everyone is seeking a dramatic transformation. MOXI bridges the gap between lighter aesthetic treatments and heavy-duty lasers, making it ideal for early prevention and ongoing skin maintenance. This gentle, fractionated laser delivers nonablative energy into the skin in a grid-like pattern, stimulating collagen production without vaporizing tissue. Because only a portion of the skin is treated at a time, the surrounding healthy areas promote faster healing.
Best for: Sun damage, age spots, redness, rosacea
Discoloration and dark spots don’t happen overnight, but BBL therapy can address years of accumulated damage in just a few targeted sessions. This advanced technology works by directing a wide spectrum of light energy into the skin, effectively targeting browns (melanin) and reds (hemoglobin) to improve pigmentation and redness. Sciton’s BBL platform is versatile, predictable and customizable with interchangeable Smart Filters, so you can address your exact concerns and achieve clearer, smoother skin from head to toe.
Best for: Comprehensive rejuvenation, moderate sun damage, fine lines
Some concerns require a more sophisticated approach. HALO, the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, combines two different wavelengths in a single pass, delivering both ablative and nonablative energy into the skin to refresh, resurface and rejuvenate. This dual-action approach means you get the comprehensive results of more aggressive lasers with significantly less downtime. You can expect several days of redness and tiny dark spots from micro-injuries, followed by noticeably smoother, brighter and more radiant skin that continues improving for months after treatment.
Best for: Dull skin, fine lines, event preparation
If you’re seeking immediate improvement in skin tone and texture, NanoLaserPeel offers a solution that polishes and refreshes dull, dry skin with minimal downtime. This gentle treatment removes the top layers of damaged skin with laser precision, immediately revealing a brighter complexion equivalent to three to four chemical peels. Patients can come in for a treatment on Friday and show off a rejuvenated appearance in about a week’s time, making it perfect for event prep or regular skin maintenance.
Best for: Moderate wrinkles, sun damage, uneven texture
When you want something more aggressive than NanoLaserPeel but you’re not ready for intensive resurfacing, MicroLaserPeel occupies that perfect middle ground. This treatment provides controlled ablation that can be adjusted across different areas of the face to soften the appearance of wrinkles, reduce sun damage and improve rough, bumpy skin. It works well on its own but pairs beautifully with ProFractional resurfacing for even more dramatic results.
Best for: Acne scars, surgical scars, deep wrinkles, skin tightening
ProFractional is ideal for deeper textural issues such as wrinkles and acne scars. It uses erbium laser energy to evaporate microscopic columns of tissue in a fractional pattern. Patients see dramatic results after a few weeks that continue to refine over several weeks with increased collagen production.
Best for: Deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, dramatic results
Sciton’s Contour TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) provides advanced resurfacing to give your skin a complete reset. It targets the deeper signs of aging with precision to minimize your most stubborn concerns, from severe wrinkles and acne scars to skin laxity and dark spots. Everyone’s needs are different, so treatments are completely customizable to your desired results and downtime, making it effective for a wide range of skin types and concerns. While the average downtime might be longer than less intensive lasers, our patients consider it a worthwhile trade for smoother, healthier and more radiant skin!
Before & Afters
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation where we’ll assess your skin using VISIA Complexion Analysis technology. This advanced imaging system reveals damage that’s not visible to the naked eye, allowing us to create a treatment plan based on your skin’s true condition rather than just surface concerns.
We’ll discuss your goals, review your medical history and explain which treatments will be most effective for your specific needs. Many patients benefit from stacking multiple Sciton treatments together or pairing laser therapy with other services.
Preparation varies depending on which treatment you choose, but generally includes avoiding sun exposure, discontinuing certain skincare products and following specific pre-care instructions. For more intensive treatments like Halo or ContourTRL, we may recommend starting a pre-treatment skincare regimen to optimize your results, which generally includes retinol and a collagen-stimulating product, such as Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar.
Treatment times range from one hour for targeted BBL sessions to two and a half hours for comprehensive resurfacing procedures. Comfort levels vary, with treatments like BBL requiring no anesthetic while deeper procedures may benefit from topical numbing cream or other comfort measures.
Our experienced team monitors your skin’s response throughout treatment, adjusting settings as needed to ensure optimal results with minimal discomfort. We’ll explain exactly what to expect and keep you comfortable throughout the process.
Recovery varies significantly based on which treatment you choose. Lighter treatments like BBL and MOXI require less downtime, while more intensive procedures like ContourTRL or ProFractional resurfacing may involve weeks to months of healing and residual redness.
Generally, you can expect some degree of redness and sensitivity immediately following treatment. Deeper treatments may also involve peeling, flaking or temporary darkening of pigmented areas before they fade. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and are always available to answer questions during your healing process.
Some treatments, like BBL, may show immediate improvements in redness, while others reveal their benefits gradually as your skin heals. Most patients see continued improvement for several months following treatment as collagen production increases and skin texture refines. The longevity of your results depends on factors like sun exposure, skincare routine, lifestyle choices, and natural aging. Many patients schedule maintenance throughout the year to preserve their results.
Protecting your investment and keeping your skin healthy and glowing requires a commitment to proper skincare and sun protection. We’ll provide specific product recommendations and guidance on maintaining your results. Many patients also benefit from combining laser treatments with medical-grade skincare products available through our medispa.
At Fox Valley Plastic Surgery Medispa, we combine cutting-edge technology with over three decades of experience in aesthetic medicine. Our team includes highly trained providers dedicated to your needs and on-site board-certified plastic surgeons who provide medical oversight for all laser treatments, ensuring the highest standards of safety and effectiveness at every step.
The best treatment depends on your specific concerns, skin type, lifestyle and comfort level with downtime. During your consultation, we’ll use VISIA imaging to assess your skin’s condition and recommend the most appropriate treatment or combination of treatments. Some patients benefit from starting with gentler treatments and progressing to more intensive options over time.
Many patients achieve optimal results by combining treatments. For example, you might start with BBL to address pigmentation, follow with HALO for comprehensive rejuvenation, and maintain results with periodic MOXI treatments. We’ll create a treatment plan that addresses all your concerns and fits your schedule and budget.
Sciton laser treatments are generally well-tolerated, but this can vary depending on the device used and your individual pain tolerance. For deeper resurfacing, we apply a topical anesthetic to numb the skin, and most Sciton devices have built-in cooling for additional comfort. Our team keeps a close eye on your response to treatment and can adjust the intensity as needed.
The number of treatments varies based on your goals and the severity of your concerns. Some patients see significant improvement after a single session, while others benefit from a series of treatments. Generally, gentler treatments require more sessions, while more intensive resurfacing procedures provide more dramatic results with just one or two treatments.
Sciton lasers have excellent safety profiles when used by experienced practitioners. Potential side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, changes in pigmentation or prolonged healing. We thoroughly review all risks during your consultation and take precautions to minimize complications based on your skin type and medical history.
