Laser Resurfacing with Sciton

At Coachlight, the med spa of Des Moines Plastic Surgery, advanced skin rejuvenation treatments are guided by the same level of expertise and clinical precision found in a leading surgical practice. Our Sciton laser resurfacing treatments are designed to improve skin tone, texture, and overall skin quality—helping patients achieve smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin without surgery.

At our premiere med spas in West Des Moines and Ankeny, we utilize the Sciton tunable Erbium laser, a highly versatile technology that allows for fully customized treatments ranging from light, superficial resurfacing to deeper, more intensive correction. This flexibility makes it an ideal solution for addressing common concerns such as sun damage, fine lines, uneven pigmentation, and loss of skin elasticity.

During treatment, the laser precisely removes damaged outer layers of skin while stimulating collagen production beneath the surface. This dual action not only improves visible skin concerns but also supports long-term skin health and firmness. Because treatments can be tailored to your specific needs, patients can choose the level of correction and downtime that fits their lifestyle and goals.

What sets this experience apart is the continuity of care between Coachlight and Des Moines Plastic Surgery. Patients benefit from a comprehensive aesthetic approach—combining non-surgical treatments with the insight and oversight of a trusted plastic surgery team.
For enhanced results, Sciton laser resurfacing can also be combined with treatments such as BBL HERO to further improve skin clarity and address pigmentation concerns.

Sciton Skin Resurfacing Laser Treatments for sun damage, wrinkles, texture and tone

We offer the Sciton tunable Erbium laser for superficial, fractional, and deep resurfacing. The Sciton laser is an exceptional laser to correct and reverse the signs of aging skin. As we age, the effects of sun damage and age cause the skin to wrinkle, develop sun spots, and lose texture and tone. A Sciton laser resurfacing procedure at Des Moines Plastic Surgery™ can reverse these effects and restore a younger, healthier appearance to the skin. During a resurfacing procedure, a laser beam is scanned across the treatment area and precisely removes a layer of skin in a predictable and safe manner. The body then replaces the skin with a healthier, more youthful layer of skin. The laser also stimulates new collagen formation, which results in a tightening effect to the skin. Treatments can range from shallow, superficial peels to deep resurfacing depending on the degree of aging and skin damage as well as the desired effect. For additional skin rejuvenation, consider pairing it with BBL HERO.

Superficial Resurfacing with Microlaser Peel®

A Microlaser Peel® at Des Moines Plastic Surgery™ removes a very thin layer of skin to improve fine lines, pigmentation, and improve tone and texture of the skin. The Microlaser Peel® (MLP) can be tailored to your desired effect and amount of downtime. The MLP is performed with the Sciton laser at Des Moines Plastic Surgery™ and requires minimal downtime. You can return to normal activities quickly. The MLP is recommended for pigmentation, fine lines, tone, and texture issues. The face, neck, chest, arms, hands, and shoulders can be treated to reduce brown spots and improve skin changes due to aging and sun damage.
