If you’ve been curious about laser treatments but aren’t quite sure where to start — you’re not alone. Laser technology has come a long way, and today’s options are more targeted, more customizable, and more effective than ever. But with different devices, different depths, and different recovery timelines, it can feel overwhelming to figure out which one is actually right for your skin.
At Aesthetica Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center in Leesburg, VA, we use Sciton® laser technology exclusively — widely considered the gold standard in laser aesthetics. And this September, all three of our Sciton laser treatments are 25% off, with the option to add Exosomes for just $400 for an even more powerful result.
Here’s everything you need to know to choose the right one.
What Makes Sciton Different?
Not all lasers are created equal. Sciton® is the platform trusted by leading aesthetic practices worldwide — and for good reason. Sciton lasers deliver precise, controlled energy with customizable settings that allow our team to tailor each treatment to your specific skin type, concerns, and goals.
The result is more consistent outcomes, fewer treatments needed, and a broader range of skin concerns that can be effectively addressed — all with a safety profile that makes Sciton treatments suitable for virtually all skin tones and types.
At Aesthetica Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center, we offer three Sciton laser treatments, each designed for a different depth of skin improvement and a different set of concerns.
Forever Young BBL® — For Pigmentation, Sun Damage & Overall Radiance
What it is: Forever Young BBL (BroadBand Light) is a light-based treatment — technically not a laser in the traditional sense, but built on Sciton’s proprietary BBL platform. It uses precisely controlled pulses of broad-spectrum light to target specific chromophores in the skin — the pigment and vascular changes that cause sun spots, redness, uneven tone, and dullness.
What makes it unique: Forever Young BBL is the only device clinically proven to change the expression of genes associated with aging — meaning it doesn’t just treat visible damage, it actively works at a molecular level to slow the progression of aging in the skin. In a landmark long-term study, patients who received regular BBL treatments had skin that looked an average of 10 years younger than their actual age.
What it treats:
- Sun spots and age spots
- Redness and rosacea
- Visible vessels and broken capillaries
- Dull, uneven skin tone
- Active acne
- Fine lines and early aging
Downtime: Minimal — most clients experience mild redness that resolves within a few hours. Pigmented spots may darken briefly before fading naturally over 1–2 weeks.
Best for: Clients with sun damage, uneven pigmentation, redness, or anyone looking for a consistent skin maintenance treatment that delivers both immediate and long-term results.
MicroLaserPeel® — For Texture, Tone & a Visible Skin Reset
What it is: The MicroLaserPeel is a superficial ablative laser resurfacing treatment that precisely removes the outermost layer of skin — the epidermis — to a controlled, customizable depth. Think of it as the laser equivalent of hitting a reset button on your skin’s surface.
What makes it unique: Unlike chemical peels that use acids to dissolve the skin’s surface, MicroLaserPeel uses laser energy to remove it with extreme precision — targeting only the depth needed for your specific concerns, leaving the surrounding tissue intact. The result is a remarkably even, controlled resurfacing that delivers a dramatic improvement in texture and tone with a shorter recovery than deeper laser treatments.
What it treats:
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Fine lines and superficial wrinkles
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Mild sun damage and superficial pigmentation
- Early acne scarring
- Keratosis and skin irregularities
Downtime: 3 to 5 days. Skin will feel slightly sunburned and may peel as the treated surface sheds and fresh, healthy skin emerges underneath. Most clients describe the result as skin that looks visibly “new.”
Best for: Clients who want a noticeable skin reset with a moderate recovery window — particularly those with texture concerns, dullness, or early signs of aging that haven’t responded to non-ablative treatments.
ProFractional® — For Deep Resurfacing, Scars & Collagen Rebuilding
What it is: ProFractional is Sciton’s ablative fractional laser — the deepest and most powerful of the three treatments. It creates thousands of narrow, precisely controlled microchannels in the skin, triggering an intensive collagen remodeling response in the dermis. Unlike full-field resurfacing, ProFractional treats only a fraction of the skin at a time — leaving surrounding tissue intact to accelerate healing and reduce downtime compared to traditional deep resurfacing.
What makes it unique: ProFractional’s depth and precision allow it to address concerns that surface treatments simply can’t reach. It rebuilds the skin’s structural foundation — stimulating new collagen and elastin from within — producing improvements that continue to develop for up to 6 months after a single session.
What it treats:
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Deep wrinkles and significant skin laxity
- Rough texture and enlarged pores
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Overall skin quality and firmness
Downtime: 1 to 7 days depending on treatment intensity. Skin will feel warm and may swell slightly before revealing progressively clearer, smoother, and more refined results over the following weeks.
Best for: Clients with more significant skin concerns — deeper scarring, notable texture irregularities, or moderate signs of aging — who are ready to invest in deeper resurfacing for longer-lasting, more transformative results.
The Exosome Add-On — Take Any Treatment Further
This September, Aesthetica Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center is offering Exosomes as an add-on to any Sciton laser treatment for just $400.
Exosomes are nano-sized biological messengers derived from stem cells that carry concentrated growth factors, proteins, and regenerative signals. Applied immediately after laser treatment — when the skin’s channels are open and maximally receptive — exosomes accelerate healing, reduce inflammation, and amplify the collagen-stimulating response triggered by the laser.
The result: faster recovery, less redness, and significantly enhanced results compared to laser treatment alone. For clients pairing exosomes with ProFractional or MicroLaserPeel in particular, the improvement in both downtime and outcome is remarkable.
