Hi all,
I am a newbie and so excited about starting laser treatments and to have forums like this to learn more about the process.
I had my first session yesterday with the Sciton laser. Full-face. I am Type V so comfortable with the choice of laser. The tech started off at 42J but I was able to tolerate it, so we ended up at 51J.
Just wondering if anyone else has used this laser and what setting were used and what type of results you have got?
Thanks,
A
this is supposed to be a Yag laser with special scanning technology that helps not miss hair. if you run a search, you may find a few previous expeirences, however there aren’t many with this laser. if you can keep updating, we would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, will definitely update in a few weeks, hopefully will have some shedding.
It hasn’t even been a week since my first session on the Sciton, but I did want to post a bit of an update, for those wondering what to expect in the first days after treatment. I have to say that my skin looks and feels amazing-I had my full face done inc. forehead, cheeks, sides, lip, chin, neck. Believe me when I say my skin has not been this smooth since I was maybe 15?
Since the treatment I have had to shave chin and cheeks once, however usually I would need to do this twice a day and still would not be anywhere near this smooth. I wonder if some of the hair shed during the treatment? I will keep watching for this as I am aware that most shedding usually occurs 1-4 weeks after treatment.
Anyways, I know what I have experienced thus far in no way means I will have permanent reduction, however I will say that my face has not looked so clear in many years and I am grateful to feel normal again, even for a little while (although $300 was a high price for this).
yes, some hair gets killed and burned right at treatment. glad to hear you’re happy.
Arthur, can you specifiy where (city, clinic…) you had the treatment and do you have a thick beard that goes up to your jawbone? And how old are you (approsimately)? Did you try electrolysis?
Removing the beard is so confusing – on the one hand, I would rather have a beard than look like a teen forever. At the same time, I don’t like the dark shadow that is consistently present due thin facial skin and/or speedy growth! To top it off, laser can leave you with a patchy beard which would be weird to say the least.
Are you planning on also killing fine body hair in the future with the Sciton or do you mostly have long thick body hair and no fine hair?
Thanks and keep updating your progress!
