About Deep Laser Resurfacing
Deep Laser Resurfacing is Sciton's most aggressive ablative treatment, designed for clients with severe sun damage, deep wrinkles, and significant scarring who want transformative results. This powerful treatment is performed by Shannon Somers NP, whose Sciton Luminary status reflects the highest level of training and expertise with Sciton's laser platform.
How It Works
The erbium laser removes damaged skin at deeper levels than a MicroLaserPeel, reaching into the mid-dermis to trigger substantial collagen remodeling. The depth and intensity are precisely controlled by Shannon based on the severity of damage and each client's unique skin characteristics.
What to Expect
Treatment takes 60–90 minutes. Local anesthesia or sedation may be used for comfort. Expect significant redness, swelling, and oozing for the first week, followed by peeling and gradual healing over 7–14 days. Full recovery may take 2–3 weeks. Strict aftercare protocols are essential.
Results
Dramatic improvement in deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, and scarring. Skin texture and tone are significantly refined. Results continue to improve for 3–6 months as deep collagen remodeling occurs. This is the most transformative single-session laser treatment available.
Ideal Candidate
Clients with severe photodamage, deep wrinkles, or significant scarring who are prepared for extended downtime in exchange for dramatic results. Not recommended for darker skin tones without careful evaluation. A thorough consultation with Shannon is required.
