Sciton & Viora Treatments

Melasma is a type of hyperpigmentation characterized by excessive melanin production, often triggered by hormonal changes, sun exposure, or genetic predisposition. It typically appears as symmetrical brown or gray patches on the face, most commonly on the cheeks, upper lip, and forehead.

Dark spots (also known as age spots, sunspots, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) occur when localized clusters of melanin form due to sun damage, acne, or aging.

While melasma is a chronic condition that tends to recur, both melasma and dark spots can be significantly lightened and managed through advanced energy-based treatments, such as Sciton and Viora.

Sciton is a leading global laser technology brand renowned for its versatility and effectiveness in treating pigmentation, melasma, and various other skin conditions. Its BroadBand Light (BBL) and HALO Hybrid Fractional Laser systems are particularly effective in improving uneven skin tone and texture without invasive procedures.

How Sciton Works for Pigmentation

• BroadBand Light (BBL):

The Sciton BBL uses broad-spectrum light to target melanin deposits in the skin. The light energy gently heats the upper layers of the skin, breaking down excess pigment and stimulating natural cell renewal. Over time, the treated areas gradually lighten, revealing a more even skin tone.

•  HALO Laser:

The HALO Hybrid Fractional Laser combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, delivering controlled energy into both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. This dual action helps remove damaged pigment cells while stimulating collagen production for overall rejuvenation.

Key Benefits of Sciton Laser for Melasma and Dark Spots

• Targets both surface and deep pigmentation
• Improves texture, tone, and skin clarity
• Stimulates collagen renewal for smoother skin
• Minimal downtime and safe for most skin types
• Gradual and natural improvement over time

Sciton’s technology can be adjusted for different skin tones and sensitivities. This makes it a great option for individuals seeking gentle yet effective treatment for stubborn pigmentation.

Viora is a modern aesthetic platform that uses advanced radiofrequency (RF) and laser technology to treat pigmentation, melasma, and other signs of aging. Its V-ST and V-IPL handpieces are especially good at rejuvenating the skin and evening out skin tone safely and precisely.

How Viora Laser Treatment works

• V-IPL (Intense Pulsed Light):

The Viora V-IPL technology delivers pulses of light that selectively target melanin clusters within the skin. The controlled heat energy breaks down the pigment without damaging surrounding tissue, allowing your body to remove the unwanted pigment cells over time naturally.

• V-ST (Radiofrequency):

The V-ST handpiece uses bi-polar radiofrequency energy to heat deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This not only improves tone and firmness but also enhances the absorption of brightening serums and post-laser skincare.

Benefits of Viora Laser Treatment for Pigmentation and Melasma

• Reduces dark spots, freckles, and melasma patches
• Evens out skin tone and improves radiance
• Tightens and rejuvenates skin simultaneously
• Suitable for multiple skin types and areas
• Quick, comfortable sessions with minimal recovery

Viora uses both light and RF energy, making it effective for treating both surface and deeper pigmentation. Most people see results with little or no downtime.

Sciton and Viora are leading technologies in aesthetic dermatology. Each has its own strengths, depending on your skin type, the depth of pigmentation, and your treatment goals.

At CosmeSurge, our dermatologists frequently utilize both systems in conjunction. Sciton is used for deep pigment correction, while Viora helps maintain and enhance your skin’s glow. This approach gives you complete and lasting results.

Consultation

We start with a detailed skin evaluation. Our dermatologists assess your pigmentation type, its depth, and potential causes before selecting the most suitable Sciton or Viora treatment for you.

The Procedure

• Cleansing: The treatment area is cleansed and prepped.

• Laser or IPL Application: The chosen device delivers controlled energy pulses to target pigment clusters.

• Cooling: Integrated cooling systems ensure a comfortable experience throughout the procedure.

• Post-Treatment Care: A calming serum or sunscreen is applied immediately after treatment.

Each session usually takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.​

Both Sciton and Viora treatments are non-invasive, resulting in minimal downtime. You may experience slight redness or warmth that subsides within a few hours to a day.

Aftercare Tips:

• Avoid direct sun exposure for one week.
• Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
• Keep the skin moisturized with gentle, hydrating products.
• Avoid active skincare ingredients like retinol or glycolic acid for a few days.

Results appear gradually as your body removes pigment and makes new collagen. With each session, your skin tone becomes clearer, smoother, and more even.

Most patients see visible improvement after the first session, though a series of treatments is typically recommended for optimal results.

• Sciton BBL or HALO: 3–5 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart
• Viora IPL or RF: 4–6 sessions, spaced 2–4 weeks apart

Maintenance treatments every few months help keep your skin bright and prevent dark spots from returning, especially for melasma, which hormonal fluctuations can exacerbate.

• Gentle yet powerful pigment reduction
• Non-invasive and safe for multiple skin tones
• Stimulates natural collagen production
• Improves skin radiance and overall health
• Customizable protocols for individual skin needs
• Minimal discomfort and downtime

Many people notice softer skin, less pigmentation, and a healthy glow within a few weeks of starting treatment.

Sciton and Viora are both FDA-approved systems with well-documented safety profiles. Treatments are performed by trained dermatologists and laser specialists at CosmeSurge using strict medical protocols.

They are suitable for:

• Sunspots and age spots
• Melasma and hormonal pigmentation
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
• Uneven tone and photoaging

You may experience temporary redness or mild peeling, but these typically subside quickly, leaving your skin looking brighter and smoother.
