Sciton Profractional Laser Westlake Village CA

Skin resurfacing can be achieved with the Sciton Profractional laser device at Apex Dermatology.

Skin resurfacing is a popular skincare service designed to provide dramatic skin results quickly. It is often more invasive than alternative services such as chemical peels and microdermabrasion, but one treatment can offer amazing improvements in the skin’s texture and tone. If you are located in the Westlake Village, California community and want to speak to a provider about laser skin resurfacing, Dr. Karin Harp of Apex Dermatology encourages you to ask about the benefits of the Sciton Profractional laser skin resurfacing procedure.

What is the Sciton Profractional laser treatment?

The Sciton Profractional laser treatment is a type of skin resurfacing procedure that uses a fractional laser to target specific areas of the skin. The look of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, trauma scars, and other skin flaws are frequently addressed with this procedure. It also evens skin tone, reduces pore size, and stimulates collagen production for rejuvenation.

How does the Sciton Profractional laser treatment work?

The Profractional laser resurfaces the skin by creating tiny microchannels in the natural skin using high-precision laser beams. These microchannels trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of newer collagen and elastin fibers. As these fibers form, they help to improve the overall texture and appearance of one’s skin.

What are the benefits of the Sciton Profractional laser treatment?

This particular laser treatment offers a variety of benefits to our patients, including:

Improved skin texture. The microchannels created by the laser promote collagen production, resulting in smoother and softer skin.
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles. This treatment stimulates collagen growth, helping reduce the overall appearance and depth of fine lines and wrinkles.
Even skin tone. The laser can target areas with uneven pigmentation, resulting in a more even skin tone.
Reduced acne scarring. The Sciton Profractional laser also improves the appearance of acne scars by promoting natural and new collagen growth.
Minimal downtime. This treatment is a great choice for people with hectic schedules because it is minimally invasive and involves little to no downtime for our patients.
Customizable treatment. The depth and intensity of the laser light energy can be changed based on each patient’s unique skin issues to create a customized treatment plan.
Long-lasting results. With proper skincare maintenance, the effects of this treatment can last for years.

Who is a good candidate for Sciton Profractional laser treatment?

The Sciton Profractional laser treatment is suitable for individuals looking to improve wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, or uneven skin texture. It is safe and effective for all skin types and tones, but the best way to determine your candidacy is to make a consultation appointment with Dr. Karin Harp and her staff.
