What Is The Recovery Time From Procedures and Treatments?

Most patients return to normal activities on the same day as their treatment. The area that is treated with the laser may be reddened, bruised or swollen for an hour or a few days, but camouflage cosmetics are usually able to conceal any evidence of treatment. Most treatments show little or no sign that you had anything done at all. A mild reddening for 1-3 hours is the most common after-effect. Any post-treatment discomfort can usually be relieved with extra-strength Tylenol. Your doctor may prescribe a stronger medication depending on the procedure. A topical antibiotic such as Bacitracin may also be recommended for the treatment area.

Is Laser Treatment Painful?

The sensations vary depending upon the procedure, the technology used, the wavelengths and the energy settings. Many procedures are completely painless. All are tolerable. Many people describe the laser as feeling like the snap of a rubber band on the skin. We utilize all of the most efficient and most comfortable treatment systems including the adjustable “frozen air cooling system” that maximizes patient comfort by chilling the treatment area before, during and after the procedure. A local anesthetic may be recommended for more sensitive treatment areas or for younger patients.

What Conditions can be Treated with Cosmetic Laser Therapy?

A variety of functional and cosmetic skin problems can be treated with lasers. Laser treatments can reduce the appearance of sun damage, scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, unwanted hair, fine lines, vascular lesions (birthmarks, spider veins, varicose veins and redness on the face) and uneven pigmentation. Please visit our our Procedures page for a complete list.

Do You Have Payment Plans or Different Payment Options for Cosmetic Skin Care?

Cosmetic procedures are not covered by insurance unless specified as such. All fees will be discussed with patients in advance of the procedure and are payable in advance of the procedure. We accept VISA, Discover, MasterCard, American Express and Debit Cards. For cosmetic packages and procedures we offer financing options for 6-18 months and other financing options featuring low interest for up to 60 months through our credit providers Alphaeon Credit and CareCredit (with approved credit). You can be approved within a few minutes while you are at your appointment. For further information regarding our payment policies or pre-approval on credit amounts please contact our office directly at 954-765-3005. We will do our best to find you a plan that works with your budget.

What is Sciton BBL Corrective?

These energy-based skin-tightening procedures induce the natural healing process in the body for improved elastin and collagen production—leaving you glowing luminously with continued improvement over time!

BBL, or BroadBand Light™, is the gold standard in treating skin conditions associated with aging, sun damage, and acne. This corrective phototherapy treatment utilizes pulses of light energy to heat the skin’s surface gently. The process is excellent for hormonal acne treatment, rosacea treatment, telangiectasia treatment, dyschromia treatment, photo-damaged skin treatment, and other skin care maintenance.

How does Sciton BBL Corrective work?

Sciton BBL is an advanced, multi-wavelength IPL system that treats various skin conditions. As BBL Corrective, Skintyte, Forever Young, and Forever Clear suggest, each wavelength targets specific issues. Sciton BBL technology can selectively target pigmentation, discoloration, and inflammation. Several problems can be effectively treated, including active acne, facial dyschromia, and UV damage to skin. Cherry hemangioma removal, acne rosacea treatment, and telangiectasia laser treatment are Sciton BBL procedures.

Length of treatment

Four to eight treatment sessions spaced 3-4 weeks apart are typical for full correction. Maintenance of results consists of 2-4 treatments per year and is advisable for protective maintenance skin. Sessions range from 15-60 minutes, depending on the current skin condition and the area(s) under treatment. Most patients are comfortable throughout the procedure without requiring topical or local anesthesia. These timelines apply for rosacea skin care or cherry angioma laser removal — more specific projections are possible upon assessment.

Downtime

There is little to no downtime. Redness, swelling, warmth, tenderness, scaling, and dryness are common post-procedure side effects while healing.

Results

Sciton BBL can improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, stimulate collagen production, and increase skin turgor and elasticity. Although these treatments occur in a series, most patients notice an improvement in skin tone and texture after the first treatment. Overall, the BBL technology is one of the best devices available to brighten skin complexion and revitalize skin texture. Help maintain that appearance with moisturizer for acne prone skin, a fairy skin maintenance set, or a natural anti-inflammatory — all available through Shino Bay Cosmetic Dermatology & Laser Institute!

For my Botox and microneedling, this is where I go. I'd never venture from these trained experts. Permanent make-up is next!

I've been treated by three staff members for various cosmetic procedures, including PDO threads and body contouring! I'd be hard-pressed to share with you my favourite. All were very experienced, competent, and friendly.
