Sciton Announces Collaboration with Michelson Diagnostics Ltd. To Develop Oct Image-Guided Laser Applications

Barry — Wed, 01 Nov 2017 18:38:57 +0000

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.”

Sciton Japan opens corporate office in Tokyo amid a financially challenging environment when many aesthetic laser companies are retreating

PALO ALTO, Calif. — April 15, 2010 — Sciton, a leading manufacturer of high-quality laser and light systems in the aesthetic medical market, announces the establishment of its Sciton Japan subsidiary and the opening of a corporate office in Tokyo. An aesthetic laser industry veteran, Mr. Hiroyuki Takase, has been hired as the General Manager, Sciton Japan to lead the new venture.

“The Japanese aesthetic laser market is the second-largest in the world and Sciton has historically had a small and very loyal following here,” said Mr. Takase. “As many of our competitors reduce staff and shrink their commitment to the Japanese market, we see an opportunity. Sciton’s products are of the highest quality and Japanese physicians appreciate well-designed and hand-crafted systems that provide superior clinical results. We anticipate great success as physicians learn about our products and support.”

Sciton’s JOULE™ system is especially appropriate for Japanese clinics where quality expectations are high and space is typically at a premium. The JOULE is unique in the industry with its combination of ten best-in-class modules on a single platform with multiple methods of delivering laser and light energy. Physicians can choose one or more modules to get started, and then add more as their practice grows or as new applications are introduced.

“Throughout our 13-year history, Sciton has been stronger in the US market than in international markets,” says Dan Negus, Ph.D., President of Sciton. “Having come through an industry-wide challenging 2009 with a profit and having experienced growth in certain areas outside the US, we’ve made a commitment to further strengthen our global presence by investing in a direct Japanese operation as part of a broader strategy to invest in promising opportunities.”

Contour Receives CE Mark

Barry — Fri, 08 Oct 1999 21:07:38 +0000

Amsterdam — October 8, 1999 — Sciton, Inc. announced today at EADV that the Contour Resurfacing laser has been awarded a CE Mark. CE Mark is a regulatory requirement to market and sell the Contour laser in Europe.

Contour, which is manufactured by Sciton Inc. has been widely accepted as the market leader in skin resurfacing, with unique technology that allows the physician to select the treatment parameters in relevant clinical units – microns of depth.

Treatment depth can now be varied to suit individual patient needs, therefore achieving the desired results while minimizing the healing time. According to Dan Negus, President of Sciton Inc., “Now that Contour has been awarded a CE Mark, it confirms the safety and quality of the laser and allows Sciton Inc. to provide the same unique technology to European Physicians.” “In 1998, Sciton revolutionized the skin resurfacing market with the introduction of the Contour™ dual-mode long pulse erbium laser that allows physicians to independently select the depth of ablation and coagulation. Physicians are able to choose the depth of treatment required to achieve effective results in measurements of microns of tissue, resulting in an extremely repeatable and uniform treatment.
