What Is Sciton Profile
Sciton Profile™ is a multi-functional laser platform that allows board-certified dermatologists to customize treatment depth, intensity, and laser modality based on your skin concerns and recovery preferences. This versatility makes Sciton Profile an important component of laser skin resurfacing, collagen-focused treatments, and combination laser protocols designed to deliver natural-looking results.
Depending on your goals, Sciton Profile may be used on its own or layered with other laser, light, and energy devices to address multiple skin concerns in a single treatment plan.
Photorejuvenation Support
Helps improve diffuse sun damage, dullness, and uneven skin tone when combined with light- and pigment-targeting treatments such as IPL, Pulsed Dye Laser, Alexandrite, or other photorejuvenation devices.
Scar Refinement
Softens the appearance of mild acne scars and early surgical scars by improving surface texture and supporting collagen remodeling without aggressive resurfacing.
Collagen Stimulation & Skin Quality Improvement
Encourages long-term improvements in skin firmness, smoothness, and overall skin quality, making it well suited for patients experiencing early collagen loss or loss of skin vitality.
Combination Laser Treatments
Frequently integrated into customized combination laser treatment plans, including Take5 and select Take10 protocols. Sciton Profile is often layered with lasers such as Fraxel®, Clear + Brilliant®, Vbeam®, IPL, or other laser, light, and energy devices to refine texture, support collagen remodeling, and enhance overall results.

5/5 STARS
I trust Farzaneh Momeni completely with my skin. She is by far the best clinical aesthetician I’ve ever known. My skin has improved dramatically since I began monthly facials with her. Her treatments are 100% results-driven so if this is what you seek, look no further. Also, the entire Team at West Dermatology are top-notch. They’re always friendly, professional, & helpful, & greet everyone with a smile. 10 Stars all around!
My new regular cosmetic dermatology office. Dr Zubair is amazing and really patient with me. He has helped me over the last year with keloid scar removal, jaw Botox, and full facial acne scar treatment (ultra clear). The office is clean and the nursing/medical assistant staff is accommodating on all levels. I will always recommend this office and Dr Zubair to friends and family.
Most professional and most impressive! The service from the physicians to office staff is superb!
I live in Orange County and drove all the way out to see Dr. Wu because a friend of mine referred him (she had amazing results from her face and neck procedure). Dr. Wu is truly an artist! He made me feel extremely comfortable during my procedure. I was anxious when I got there, but he (and his staff) have such great energy and are so very kind and gentle that you can't help but feel at ease! The office was immaculate and they adhered to covid rules (sanitizing, temp checks, masks). This is my go-to place from now on and Dr. Wu is my go-to guy! Can't wait to see my final results! Thank you Phyllis (pre-op) for being so wonderful and informative! You were so very helpful and kind! I'll definitely be back!
Leysin and the entire team at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology are fantastic. They are professional, caring and communicative. The laser treatment was comfortable, efficient and effective! I highly recommend this practice. I definitely will come back and recommend her and Cosmetic Laser Dermatology to my family and friends.
Dr. Goldman is amazing! I came here for my permanent eyeliner removal (which is not offered anywhere near me), and they are completely removed in just one session. They use a special contact lens to protect your eyes from the laser, and there are no damages to my eyelashes. The healing was also nice and smooth. They have everything you need. I live almost 3 hours away, but it was totally worth the trip. For anyone who is looking to remove their permanent makeup, this is the right place to go :)-
Dr. Butterwick is fantastic, all of her team as well. They make sure your experience is pleasant and painless as possible. My tattoo removal and my injectables look amazing. I highly recommend her for any skin treatment.
Cosmetic Laser Dermatology was recommended to me by my dermatologist. He recommended Dr. Monica Boen. I'm so glad I took his recommendation. Everyone here at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology was super nice and friendly. Very welcoming. I came here for hair removal treatment. I did 4 sessions with Dr. Boen. Dr. Boen made me feel so comfortable and at ease when I talked to her. She explained everything before she did my treatment. I loved that. She was really easy to talk to. I definitely will come back and recommend her and Cosmetic Laser Dermatology to my family and friends.
This office is awesome. My visit today was with Dr. Groff. His bed side manner is so fun and welcoming. He understood my concerns and recommended a treatment plan that I feel was reasonable. I love his staff! They take there time to make sure you understand the treatment and after care. Everyone in the office, from the front desk to the nurses in the back, are so friendly and beautiful. They are very prompt and I trust my care with CLD. I can't wait for my next visit. See you guys in a few weeks!
"Dr. Sabrina Fabi is genius! Her technique is unlike anyone, her eye is precise, and her kindness and caring manner comes from the depth of her soul. She's simply brilliant! It's no wonder people travel the country just to be treated by her."
I wish I could give them 10 stars! I had such an awesome experience for my first visit and I am referring everyone I know to this office. From the super friendly staff to the state of the art procedures, they are the cream of the crop.
“I came to participate in a research study. All of the Doctors and staff at C.L. Dermatology are very professional, warm and friendly. All our my needs were anticipated and the hospitality of this office is like a five star hotel.”
Targeted Skin Concerns Treated with Sciton Profile
Evens Out Skin Tone
Sciton Profile laser treatments help even out skin tone by addressing surface irregularities and diffuse discoloration caused by sun exposure and aging. As part of laser skin resurfacing, this treatment promotes a clearer, more balanced complexion and is often combined with pigment-specific technologies for optimal tone refinement.
Tightens Skin and Accelerates Collagen Production
By delivering laser energy into deeper layers of the skin, Sciton Profile supports skin tightening and accelerates collagen and elastic fiber production. This process helps the skin appear firmer, smoother, and more resilient over time, making it an effective laser for wrinkles and early laxity.
Eliminates Age Spots and Superficial Lesions
Sciton Profile can be used to improve the appearance of age spots and superficial lesions by resurfacing damaged skin and encouraging healthier skin regeneration. The number of laser treatments needed depends on lesion depth, size, and overall skin condition.
Removes Actinic Keratosis and Moles
Sciton Profile laser skin treatments may be used to remove actinic keratosis and select moles when clinically appropriate. Actinic keratoses are precancerous lesions caused by prolonged sun exposure, and early treatment supports skin health and long term monitoring under dermatologist supervision.
Gets Rid of Acne
Laser treatments for face acne with Sciton Profile work by reducing acne-causing bacteria and shrinking sebaceous glands that produce excess oil. Laser skin treatments also stimulate collagen production, helping repair acne-damaged skin and reduce the likelihood of future breakouts.
Improves Rhinophyma Related Skin Thickening
Sciton Profile laser resurfacing can improve rhinophyma by precisely removing excess tissue and smoothing uneven skin texture, particularly on the nose. By carefully reshaping thickened skin and promoting healthier regeneration, this laser treatment helps restore more balanced contours while supporting long-term skin quality under expert clinical care.

Sciton Profile FAQ
Sciton Profile supports laser skin resurfacing for uneven texture, fine lines, early wrinkles, sun damage, and tone irregularities. It also plays a role in collagen and elastic fiber stimulation and skin quality improvement. Many patients benefit from combining treatments to address multiple concerns at once.
Sciton Profile is not positioned as deep CO2 laser resurfacing. It offers adjustable resurfacing options that provide meaningful improvement without the intensity of traditional CO2 treatments. This makes it suitable for patients seeking refinement rather than aggressive resurfacing.
The number of sessions depends on the concern being treated, skin condition, and desired outcome. Some patients see improvement after one session, while others benefit from a series of laser skin treatments spaced over time.
Recovery varies based on treatment depth. Superficial laser resurfacing may involve mild redness and flaking, while deeper treatments may require several days of healing. Your dermatologist will review expectations in advance.
Yes. Sciton Profile is frequently used as part of combination laser treatments, including Take5 and Take10, to enhance results and improve overall skin rejuvenation.
