Full Face Laser Peel using the Sciton Profile is the ultimate technology for skin resurfacing.
The introduction of Laser Skin peeling with the ‘Sciton Profile’ computer controlled laser system brings a new approach to skin peeling and is available at Sydney clinics.
Laser peeling is generally more flexible and can give even better results than other forms of skin peeling which is why we favour it here at GMC Cosmedical. The Sciton Profile Laser is a state of the art system that combines two lasers, working at the same time, to precisely refine the skin surface and set a new standard for laser skin peeling. Using a precise computer control mechanism it allows your physician to tailor the depth and effects of your laser peel treatment to match your skin condition and desired results. This allows us to achieve the best possible outcome for your treatment.
Laser peeling can treat a variety of skin conditions and imperfections, some include but are not limited to:
Your physician will use the Sciton Profile Laser to remove fine layers of the skin’s surface until the damage is cleared. This will then be replaced by younger and healthier skin regrowth on the surface, as well as stimulating stronger connective tissue production in the deeper layers of the skin.
Your results:
For deeper skin problems, such as advanced sun damage & acne scarring, full thickness Laser Resurfacing with the Sciton Erbium Laser is the safest and the most appropriate treatment.
Healing time will vary slightly from person to person and will also depend on your treatment depth. Lighter peels may have only a day or two to recover (the ‘weekend peel’) while deeper peels will require around 5 days (for example, if the procedure is carried out on Thursday you can get back to work on Monday).
With lighter peels there is redness and a very short recovery time, about a day or two. For full thickness laser resurfacing recovery may take around 10 days. Your skin will likely have a residual pink or red colour. We will generally recommend you refrain from covering the treated area with make-up for the following 2 weeks after your treatment. Your physician will instruct you how best to care for your healing skin during your appointment.
Your eyes will be protected with safety shields and the Sciton Profile Laser beam will be delivered to the skin’s surface through a computer controlled device that automatically scans the area of your skin being treated. There is a fast rat-a-tat sound which is the sound of the laser beam vaporising the outer skin layers. Your procedure usually takes around 30 minutes and will vary according to the severity of the problem to be corrected and the depth of peeling required. A full Laser Resurfacing Procedure takes 60 to 90 minutes to perform.
Aftercare is relatively simple and it is important to follow your physician’s instructions. You will be given some products and instructions on how to use them. This will ensure the best comfort and shortest healing time. Make-up can be used in 1 to 5 days for lighter peels and 14 days for a full resurfacing procedure. New skin will be very sensitive to ultra-violet light and you must avoid unnecessary sun exposure for one week. You need to cover your skin, wear a hat and use a good sun-screen if you go outdoors.
Most concerns have more than one course of treatment. Feel free to contact us so one of our team can discuss options for your unique concern.
