SCITON PROFRACTIONAL LASER TREATMENT
Sandia Skin + Face is proud to offer SCITON PROFRACTIONAL LASER TREATMENT.
INCREDIBLE RESULTS. MINIMAL DOWNTIME.
The Sciton ProFractional Laser precision scanner is our solution for achieving excellent fractionated resurfacing results while prioritizing patient comfort and minimizing downtime, even for deeper ablation depths.
As the premium Erbium laser on the market, Sciton ProFractional Laser makes a versatile addition to the toolkit of many medical spa practices to help their clients, like you, achieve incredible results.
Fine Depth Tunability
Sciton ProFractional Laser uses an Erbium:YAG laser with a high ablation efficiency and very little thermal conduction. We customize your treatment with ProFractional fine depth tunability to target and treat skin concerns in various layers of the dermis, up to 1500 microns.
Dynamic Size Adjustment
We customize your Sciton Profractional Laser pattern size based on the size and pattern that will best address your patient’s treatment area and individual needs.
Coagulation & Ablation
Sciton Profractional Laser allows an independent change of ablation depth and coagulation that emulates a CO2 laser.
The Science Behind Sciton Profractional Laser Technology
Profractional Laser Technology offers several key benefits for patients and providers, including achieving an ablation depth of between 25 um to 1500 um depth with exacting precision.
The greater the treatment density, the more aggressive the treatment. ProFractional® uses a 25um spot, and ProFractional® uses a 430 um spot size and pre-defined treatment densities for greater speed.
The pre-defined densities feature array patterns that use random placement and sequence of energy deposition, which can reduce proprioception during treatment, leading to greater overall comfort.
How Sciton Profractional Laser Technology Works
Overview: ProFractional professional can adjust the depth of ablation and coagulation independently for each client’s needs.
Targeted Treatment Area: Unlike full field resurfacing, which removes the entire surface area of a treatment site, ProFractional ablates narrow-diameter channels into the skin, covering a fraction of the total treatment area. This action starts the body’s wound healing response, while leaving the surrounding tissue intact for rapid healing.
Custom Treatment Plan: The Profractional specialist selects ablation depth, coagulation, density, and scan pattern options to custom tune the treatment. A laser guide beam shows the target area over the treatment area for ultimate precision.
Treatable Areas: ProFractional can treat all skin types of face and body, including:
- Neck
- Chest
- Hands
- Arms
- Legs
What Sciton Profractional Laser Treats:
- Pigmented Lesions
- Acne Scars and Scar Revisions
- Skin Resurfacing
- Skin Maintenance
Sciton Profractional Laser Benefits:
Sciton ProFractional Laser (Erbium:YAG) resurfacing allows deep dermal penetration and ablation and/or coagulation to remove visible signs of skin damage, and rejuvenate dermal collagen matrix for improved tone and texture—all while providing a safe, effective, and short-downtime treatment.

September 20, 2021The office staff is super accommodating and helpful, and Dr. Tuggle and Tonya Tuggle are both wonderful at what they do. I have had multiple procedures/treatments here over the years and highly recommend them. I never feel uncomfortable or judged, which is huge when deciding on cosmetic procedures. I also never felt pressured into anything and always felt informed about all of my decisions. They have great seasonal specials on fillers, etc!

I recently relocated from CA. I was nervous to find a new place for lip fillers after going to the same person for several years. Tonya was absolutely amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable and instantly made me feel comfortable. Tonya exceeded my expectations. I’ve received so many compliments from friends and family. The entire staff were friendly and professional. I will definitely become a loyal client. Thank you Tonya and team!!!

May 4, 2021Tonya is amazing!! She made me feel so comfortable and really listened to my concerns about my skin. She really cares and knows what she is doing. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!! I was concerned my first appointment but I just had my third and I can say it’s so worth it!!! Botox has been an incredible experience and I’m so happy to have tried it, I’m so much happier with my appearance and it looks incredibly natural. I’ve included before and after photos, neither photo is filtered or edited, you can see how makeup would collect in my forehead, and how the after it’s smooth and looks so lovely. It doesn’t feel weird or like I can’t move my muscles at all, it feels super natural. One of my biggest concerns was that I wouldn’t be able to emote with Botox but that’s just not true at all. I feel so confident and that is thanks to Tonya!

Tonya was so professional and went over everything in detail with me! Totally amazing place! Treat yourself! We all deserve to look great and feel great! ❤️

PROCEDURE PREP
Instructions Prior to Sciton ProFractional Laser Therapy:
- Absolutely avoid any type of sunburn or suntan for 4 weeks prior to laser treatments. Treatment of tanned skin can increases the risk of blistering and/or permanent skin discoloration. Prolonged sun exposure is to be avoided for 4 weeks before and after treatments.
- Do not use any self-tanning lotions in the month prior to treatment.
- Stop using Retin-a, Renova, Differin, for one week prior to treatment.
- You may need to use hydroquinone cream 4% for 4 weeks prior to a treatment to reduce the possibility of complications. If you do, a prescription will be called into the pharmacy of your choice.
- Please inform us if you have any history of “herpes”, “cold sores”, or “fever blisters”. In such instances, we recommend taking Valtrex 500mg, 1 tablet twice a day for 5 days starting on the day before the laser treatment. Like sunlight, laser light may cause a cold sore or fever blister, leading to more serious complications.
- You will need to use Vaseline (or similar) for 3 days following the procedure. You need to go to the store, any store will carry it, and get a large tube or jar.

AFTERCARE
Instructions Following Sciton ProFractional Laser Therapy:
- Intense burning, redness, warmth, and a sunburned sensation are normal responses following Sciton ProFractional Laser Therapy
- Resurfacing. The discomfort and redness last 2-8 hours after the procedure. Cool compresses with a damp, soft cloth for 10-20 minutes at a time may help relieve the temporary discomfort.
- You can take Tylenol as directed for pain.
- You should apply constantly Vaseline (or similar) during the first 3 days. It is important for the treated area to remain soft and pliable during healing. The skin should not dry out.
- Within 48 hours, the redness will have significantly improved. The day after the procedure, your skin may feel tight, swollen, or itchy.
- Some patients will wake up with facial swelling, particularly around the eyes, for several days following the treatment. This is normal and usually resolves within 3-5 days.
- Quick, cool to warm showers are recommended for the first 3 days.
- Avoid aerobic exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for 3 days.
- Avoid the use of topical skin care products containing Retin-a, retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid for 1 week.
- You can use makeup on the third day after the procedure. Use caution when applying and removing makeup. The treated area may be delicate and should be treated with care.
- Prolonged sun exposure is to be avoided for 4 weeks before and after treatment. You should apply a total sunblock containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide daily if you are in the sun. For further treatments, a commitment to stay out of the sun is necessary. Sun exposure may cause certain complications, such as permanent skin discoloration.
- For patients who have a history of frequent cold sores, you should be taking an antiviral medication such as Valtrex or Famvir for 5 days after the laser peel.
- Remember, Profractional™ resurfacing typically requires multiple treatments to achieve the desired results. Profractional™ stimulates collagen remodeling in the skin that occurs over a 3-6 months time period.
