About Laser and Light Treatments

Types of Laser and Light Treatments

Monarch Plastics, Skin and Wellness offers a comprehensive range of laser and light therapies designed to help patients with a wide variety of goals. Some of the innovative treatments offered at Monarch Plastics, Skin and Wellness Include:

  • Laser Hair Reduction: Monarch employs advanced laser technology, including the Lumenis Light Sheer and Sciton lasers, to provide safe and effective hair reduction treatments. The laser targets the pigment in hair follicles, delivering energy that damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. Multiple sessions are often required to achieve optimal results, as hair grows in cycles and the laser is most effective during the growth phase.
  • Sciton MicroLaserPeel: The Sciton MicroLaserPeel is a precise skin resurfacing treatment that removes the outermost layers of damaged skin to reveal a smoother, more youthful complexion. By targeting superficial skin imperfections such as fine lines, sun damage, and uneven texture, this procedure stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin cells. This type of laser has proved to be a safe and effective way of treating damaged and aged skin. (2)
  • Sciton BroadBand Light (BBL): Sciton BBL Photorejuvenation is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes light energy to target pigmentation, redness, and other skin imperfections. By delivering precise wavelengths of light to the skin, BBL stimulates collagen production and promotes cellular regeneration, leading to a more even skin tone and youthful appearance. This versatile procedure can be customized to address a range of concerns, including age spots, sun damage, and vascular lesions.
  • The Sciton BBL HERO™ (High Energy Rapid Output): Sciton BBL HERO™ treatment is an advanced version of traditional BBL therapy, offering faster, more comfortable sessions with enhanced results. This innovative technology delivers four times the speed and three times the peak power of standard BBL, effectively treating large areas such as the back, legs, and arms. BBL HERO™ addresses various skin concerns, including pigmentation, redness, and laxity, while stimulating collagen production for improved skin texture and firmness. Patients benefit from minimal downtime and long-lasting rejuvenation.
  • Sciton Profractional™ Treatment: The Sciton Profractional™ laser treatment is designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance by creating microscopic channels in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response. This fractional ablative procedure targets specific areas of concern, such as acne scars, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, while preserving surrounding tissue for quicker recovery. By promoting collagen production and cellular renewal, Profractional™ treatments result in smoother, healthier, and more youthful-looking skin.
  • Sciton SkinTyte™ Skin Tightening Treatment: Sciton SkinTyte™ is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes infrared light technology to deeply heat dermal collagen, promoting tissue contraction and new collagen production. This process leads to firmer, more youthful-looking skin without the need for surgery. SkinTyte™ is suitable for all skin types and can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, abdomen, and arms.
  • Sciton MOXI™ Laser: The MOXI™ laser is the newest addition to Sciton’s array of fractionalized laser treatments. This revolutionary laser reduces pigmentation and improves overall skin tone and texture. This state-of-the-art laser is renowned not only for its ability to produce effective results with minimal downtime and discomfort, but also for doing so in a short amount of time, with most treatments only lasting 8 to 10 minutes. (3)
  • Sciton HALO® Laser: The HALO® laser is Sciton’s first and most sought-after fractional laser for all skin types. With many laser treatments, patients are forced to choose between ablative or nonablative lasers, but the HALO® laser combines these two wavelengths, giving patients an effective treatment with minimal downtime. This laser is popular for its ability to reduce sunspots, fine lines, wrinkles, skin dullness, and more. (4)
