PALO ALTO, Calif., April 7, 2024 — Sciton Inc., a pioneer in medical and aesthetic laser and light source technologies, proudly unveiled BBL® HEROic™ this weekend at the inaugural Skin CEO event in Austin, TX. This latest addition to the award-winning BBL product line represents a significant leap forward, incorporating Intelligent Control™ (IC™), and the unique Skin Positioning System™ (SPS™) for unmatched patient outcomes.

Intelligent Control acts as the system’s “brain”, adeptly processing 3D spatial data for precise, automated pulse delivery. This innovation, alongside the new autodynamic pulsing feature, adapts to the operator’s speed, dramatically reducing full-body treatment times while ensuring uniform results across treatments.

Emphasizing patient safety, the technology simplifies the training process for new or less experienced technicians without compromising patient outcomes. BBL HEROic promises transformative results, delivering healthy, clear, and revitalized skin after just a single session. Kathy Ziegler, Director of Product Management at Sciton, shared her enthusiasm: “BBL HEROic is set to redefine the pulsed-light industry. By integrating Intelligent Control with our BBL® HERO™ technology, we’ve responded to the demand for a light-based treatment that is not only faster and more efficient but also accessible to staff across all skill levels, promising remarkable results.”

Leveraging advanced machine intelligence, BBL HEROic tracks the treatment handpiece in six degrees of freedom for real-time, multi-dimensional positioning, ensuring precise pulse placement on both flat and contoured body areas.

Available on both the JOULE®X and mJOULE™ platforms, BBL HEROic seamlessly integrates into aesthetic practices of any size, boosting patient demand and increasing revenue. Sciton will host six regional seminars across the country, offering providers an in-depth look at BBL HEROic, complete with hands-on demonstrations.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 18, 2023 — Sciton Inc., the leading manufacturer of medical and aesthetic lasers and light source technologies, today announces the expansion of their mJOULE system to include their two world-renowned vascular treatments, ClearV and ClearSilk. The updated system offerings will feature improved functionality and versatility for unmatched patient outcomes.

As the aesthetic world continues to thrive and evolve, practitioners are increasingly looking for reliable and customizable platforms to successfully treat a wide range of patient skin concerns. Sciton’s mJOULE platform, originally launched in 2019, was specifically designed to meet that need by offering a powerhouse system that hosts multiple consumer-recognized treatments, all within a compact and mobile footprint. Now, the option to add the 1064 nm wavelength to the mJOULE system gives providers the ability to further expand their treatment offerings with vascular treatment solutions that are proven to give life-changing results to an even broader range of patient concerns.

Rick Menefee, Sciton’s Head of R&D states, “At Sciton, we always keep our providers top of mind and constantly ideate on how to make our treatments the most efficient and effective. Adding the 1064 Nd:YAG wavelength to our small footprint platform was an important step in making mJoule the most versatile aesthetic solution for providers – no matter their specialty.”

Providers who invest in the new mJOULE system with 1064 will receive the latest treatment handpieces which feature fiber delivery for higher power, more spot sizes for increased speed, and more indication applications, as well as updates to software and our proven Subsurface Vein Illumination technology.

“Sciton continues to redefine the future of lasers and light by bringing to market the most advanced and quality-engineered products. The combination of 1064 in the ClearV and ClearSilk delivery systems with the narrowband 532+™ BBL ® filter replaces the need for all other vascular lasers in your practice. There isn’t a single vascular indication in all of laser medicine that cannot be addressed by this incredible platform,” says Sherrif Ibrahim, MD, PhD, founder of Rochester Dermatologic Surgery.

Interested providers are encouraged to visit /1064 for more information.

Most Advanced Pulsed Light Eye Protection Blinks for the Practitioner for an Improved Treatment Experience

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 1, 2021 — Sciton Inc., a leading manufacturer of medical and aesthetic lasers and light source technologies, today announces the launch of its highly anticipated BBLINK™ Goggles.

Introduced at Sciton’s 2021 Global Team Meeting in Denver, these smart glasses physically blink for the user to block out strain-inducing light flashes, leading to improved treatment visibility and an overall more pleasant experience for the practitioner. The exciting meeting also marked the first time in 18 months that the Sciton US teams came together in person.

First of its kind, BBLINK™ Goggles feature proprietary technology which connects directly with Sciton BBL® systems and receives shutter close commands from the system’s computer slightly before the light flash occurs. This allows users to keep up with the high-speed pulsing of BBL® HERO™, while still allowing them to see everything but the flash. No other shutter goggles on the market today match the flash speed or syncing capability. BBLINK™ works with all modalities of BBL including HERO, Forever Young™, Forever Bare™, and SkinTyte™ to block every flash, every time.

The innovative design blinks so fast you almost wonder if the BBL is pulsing at all. “The BBLINK goggles are a huge improvement over existing safety glasses,” shares Jason Pozner, MD. “I don’t want to use BBL without them.”

Let BBLINK™ Goggles do the BBLink-ing for you:

  • Proprietary shutter design automatically matches the speed of any BBL application
  • Headaches and eye strain from basic IPL protection are a thing of the past
  • Experience better visibility for precise placement of the BBL sapphire for perfect results every time
  • Artfully designed with integrated IPL protective goggles, BBLINK offers True Block
  • Quick and simple pairing with the JOULE®, mJOULE™ System
  • Multiple goggles can be synced to the same system and used during the same treatment
  • Can last an average full day of treatments

“Sciton has a 24-year history of raising the bar in aesthetic laser and light technology,” shared Sciton CEO, Aaron Burton. “This innovation and dedication to our partners doesn’t stop at our laser and light technologies. We constantly listen to our user feedback, and the BBLINK Goggles directly results from that feedback. We never stop working to improve the user experience.”

Sciton’s BBLINK Goggles can be purchased at www.sciton.com/store.

PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 1, 2017 — Sciton®, a leading manufacturer of high-quality laser and light systems in the aesthetic and medical market, announced its strategic partnership with Michelson Diagnostics Ltd. (MDL), a United Kingdom based company, to offer new levels of personalized skin diagnosis and treatments.

“Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a marvelous diagnostic imaging technology,” says Jon Holmes, CEO of MDL. “It sees into the skin deeper than one millimeter with a resolution of fewer than 10 microns. Skin sub-layers, sub-structures, and morphology, as well as capillary blood flows are accurately recognized for decision making. We are excited that our FDA-approved VivoSight OCT system partners with a skin therapy powerhouse like Sciton.”

“VivoSight OCT integrates well into our product portfolio,” remarks Dan Negus, President of Sciton. “Our laser and light brands like Halo, Contour TRL, ProFractional, and BBL should be even more effective, as we collaborate on introducing a very new imaging capability to the market with unique vision into important structures within the skin. While VivoSight can be used for precision diagnostics alone, we are especially interested to inform distinct OCT image-guided laser applications that benefit our customers by benefiting their patients.”

Jill Waibel, MD, a leading dermatologist and medical director of the Miami Dermatology and Laser Institute mentions that “OCT will be the greatest addition to the laser clinician’s armamentarium against scars since fractional ablative lasers. The depth of the scar can be accurately visualized and treatment can be tailored accordingly. As OCT also clearly images blood vessel size and location, stubborn vascular lesions are characterized better for better clearance results.  More accurate documentation of the therapy and healing progress is further enabled.”

“You cannot take this device away from me anymore,” states Jason Pozner, MD, a plastic surgeon from Boca Raton, FL.“VivoSight’s real time, intraoperative diagnosis helps me to manage risk and uncertainty. As I routinely use the Sciton Contour Er:YAG laser for deep perioral resurfacing, often beyond 600 – 700 microns, with VivoSight I know on the spot whether I can go even further in case of stubborn pathology. This allows me to offer more assertive personalized treatments and the patient is willing to pay more for this enhanced treatment. The scans also allow me to communicate more effectively with patients.”

Whereas OCT is well established in Ophthalmology, its impact for aesthetic and dermatologic surgery and skin cancer applications is nascent and is being developed on the cutting edge. “We’re just starting to scratch the surface and are excited about the opportunity which may also lead to many off-face applications,” continues Dan Negus. “More automation, standardization, and control will help lower the learning curve for new practitioners while experts explore new frontiers. The emerging insights strengthen our market position that ‘Sciton Owns Skin.’ Better data will inevitably lead to better, personalized results.”

PALO ALTO, Calif. – July 5, 2016 — Sciton Inc., a leader in light and laser-based medical devices, unveiled its new practice support program on July 5, 2016, aptly named Success Builder, focused on generating practice revenue and patient traffic in the aesthetics industry. “We’ve been known for building the best laser and energy devices in the aesthetics world but what many don’t realize is that we also provide best-in-class practice support after the sale. Now with Success Builder, we have an even better program for our customers to fully optimize their marketing, training, and patient experiences,” said Rick Mendez, Vice President of Global Marketing.

With this new program, Sciton offers four specialized pillars: clinical training, marketing tools, business development, and Sciton-sanctioned tools and courses. Many of the vendors also offer preferred pricing which customers can only get through Success Builder. Upon initial purchase of their JOULE™ laser system customers have the ability to add Success Builder points to their account which they can later use to buy offerings through the program.

“Physicians can use Success Builder points to come to my clinical preceptorships and learn advanced hands-on resurfacing techniques. But they can also use them for improving their search engine marketing, patient materials, and overall business development. Participating in Success Builder is going to be key to developing a successful practice,” said long-time Sciton customer, Dr. Jason Pozner, owner and plastic surgeon at Sanctuary Medical Center in Boca Raton, Florida. “It’s a testament to their commitment to us as physicians.”

With the delivery of their JOULE™ system, Success Builder customers receive a booklet filled with dozens of offerings and can also access the various services via the website: www.sciton.com/successbuilder. Through the enhanced program, customers have the ability to take additional clinical training courses, redesign their marketing materials and website, and experience preferred pricing with industry partners, among many other offerings.

PALO ALTO, Calif. – April 4, 2014 — Sciton®, a leading manufacturer of high-quality laser and light systems in the aesthetic medical market, introduces HALO, the world’s first and only hybrid fractional laser, applying tunable non-ablative and ablative wavelengths in a single pass to maximize results and reduce downtime. “HALO changes the paradigm,” said clinical investigator Chris Robb, MD, PhD. “The unique dual wavelengths deliver an unprecedented ability to customize treatments for each individual. Every patient has different needs in terms of sun damage and downtime. With HALO, I can finally have the best of both non-ablative and ablative wavelengths. I can precisely dial in the exact treatment patients need for amazing results within the desired downtime.”

HALO delivers both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to the same microscopic treatment zone: 1470 nm for coagulation and 2940 nm for ablation. The 1470 nm wavelength is used for delivering between 100 and 700 microns of coagulation to the epidermis and dermis, where solar damage exists. The 2940 nm wavelength is used to deliver from 0 to 100 microns of ablation to the epidermis of the skin. This gives HALO the unique ability to provide separate treatments for the epidermis, which heals quickly, and dermis which remodels more slowly over time. The operator may choose one of three coverage-based treatment levels, and HALO calculates the exact amount of energy necessary to complete a safe and effective treatment. Intelligent energy delivery, combined with Dynamic Thermal Optimization, ensures precise and even treatments, each and every time. The benefits of a HALO treatment include both epidermal and deeper dermal pigmentation and tone and texture in the skin.

HALO is available on the JOULE™ platform, which offers multiple modules to treat a wide range of indications.

Gene expression of aged skin more closely resembles young skin with the use of Sciton BroadBand Light treatment

PALO ALTO, Calif. — November 12, 2012 – A new study recently published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology shows that Sciton BroadBand Light (BBL™) treatments can change the expression of genes associated with the aging process to more closely resemble young skin. The study supports the hypothesis that regulators of aging can be altered in human skin using BBL technology to provide a functional change, rather than just a cosmetic mimic of youthful appearance. BBL treatments promote the appearance of youthful skin. This study reveals that the appearance of younger skin may be due to the differences observed in gene expression patterns of aged skin becoming more like young skin. Treatments from the study were performed on the FDA-cleared Sciton Joule using the BBL module.*

Led by dermatologist Dr. Anne Lynn S. Chang of the Stanford University School of Medicine, the study (“Rejuvenation of Gene Expression Pattern of Aged Human Skin by BroadBand Light Treatment”) reveals the molecular changes that are induced by BBL, a popular treatment made by Sciton for improving the appearance of acne, sun spots, freckles, and vascular conditions. BBL treatments are requested by patients for promoting a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. Previous studies have shown that animal models can exhibit gene expression changes to become more youthful. Dr. Chang’s study is the first to show a similar correlation in human skin treated with BBL.

“As an industry, to find a clinically sound solution for human anti-aging is critical,” said Dr. Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas, board-certified dermatologist, attending physician at Lenox Hill Hospital and Yale/New Haven VA Hospital, and Assistant Clinical Professor at Yale University School of Medicine. “As a practicing physician in the field of dermatology, it is exciting to know there is a safe, light-based treatment with groundbreaking clinical evidence supporting anti-aging and the reversal of skin damage available to our patients.”

An additional study, submitted for publication by Dr. Patrick H. Bitter, Jr. of Advanced Aesthetic Dermatology, a well-known dermatologist and co-author of the JID study, takes this groundbreaking research further and explores the practical application and patient results of BBL treatments. Dr. Bitter’s study focuses on the ability to improve the appearance of aging skin with long-term and regular interval treatments with BBL.

“The JID study is an important first step to prove that BBL treatments are a viable option for anti-aging,” said Dr. Bitter. “In my upcoming study, we provide clinical evidence on patients who have had BBL and have enjoyed younger-looking skin over the long-term. I look forward to sharing these demonstrated results with my colleagues and patients worldwide in the near future.”

“As the developer of the BBL technology, Sciton remains committed to investments not only in the equipment but in the science required to inform the development of meaningful applications for it. The BBL has an unsurpassed reputation for delivering clinically important results,” said Sciton co-founder and President, Dan Negus, Ph.D. “These basic science and clinical biomedical studies demonstrate another important validation for the dermatologic community of the sound scientific basis of the BBL technology and the results it produces.”

The study’s additional authors are Dr. Howard Y. Chang and Nicole A. Rapicavoli, both of Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Stanford University, and Dr. Kun Qu and Dr. Meihong Lin, both of Stanford University. To read the full text of the study, please visit.

PALO ALTO, Calif, December 15, 2011 — Sciton, a leading manufacturer of high-quality custom, modular, multi-application medical laser, and light-based systems, announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared Sciton’s JOULE for patients with onychomycosis. The JOULE includes a versatile, laser delivery technology with real-time temperature feedback for the safe and effective cosmetic improvement of dermatologic conditions including onychomycosis. The complete list of JOULE ClearSense indications for use can be found in the FDA 510(k) clearance number (K) 111483.

Worldwide, it is reported that onychomycosis, affects up to 5 percent of the population. The condition can lead to embarrassing and unsightly nails and even pain. Current treatment options range from home remedies to over-the-counter topical creams to prescription-based oral medications that can be highly toxic to liver function. The FDA’s clearance of Sciton’s JOULE ClearSense will allow practitioners to treat the millions of people affected by onychomycosis.

“Finally, we have a safe treatment option that works for treating onychomycosis. ClearSense is a definite advancement for the podiatry and dermatologic fields, offering patients and practitioners a reliable method to treat unsightly nail fungus without toxic side effects,” said Thomas Bembynista, DPM, Podiatrist in Independence, Missouri.

Jill S. Waibel, MD, founder, and owner of the Miami Dermatology & Laser Institute in Miami, Florida, commented, “Onychomycosis can be very challenging to treat with the options we have traditionally had. Patients who have never before had any success with other fungal therapies are seeing significant improvements in their affected nails using ClearSense.”

With Sciton’s commitment to offering maximum flexibility on a single platform, physicians can also treat additional dermatologic indications, including but not limited to warts. “The FDA’s clearance of Sciton’s ClearSense for patients with onychomycosis represents a new chapter for those suffering from a fungal infection of their nails. Sciton continues our commitment to offering versatile, cutting-edge technology, which enable doctors to offer safe and very effective treatments,” stated Dan Negus, President of Sciton.
