About Sciton Lasers
Experts recognize Sciton for their versatility and ability to rejuvenate skin through gentle yet powerful light-based treatments. Sciton offers multiple modalities to address specific skin issues, ranging from sun damage to uneven texture. Dr. Levine’s full suite of Sciton laser options provides comprehensive and customizable care. These treatments include:
BBL® HEROic™
The BBL HEROic is a smart pulsed-light device offering multiple treatment modalities to address a wide range of skin concerns. With filters and programs for pigmentation, vascular issues, acne, hair reduction, and skin laxity, it delivers fast, precise, and customizable treatments. (2) This treatment is ideal for patients seeking visible improvement in clarity and radiance without significant downtime.
Forever Clear BBL®
Forever Clear BBL targets acne by addressing inflammation and bacteria within the skin. It works by combining blue, yellow, and infrared light to calm active breakouts and reduce redness. With regular sessions, patients can experience clearer, smoother skin and fewer future blemishes.
Forever Bare™ BBL®
Forever Bare BBL is a comfortable and efficient hair removal method. This treatment delivers light energy evenly across the skin, disabling hair follicles and preventing regrowth. Its advanced cooling technology ensures a safe and consistent experience while minimizing discomfort.
Moxi
Moxi is a gentle fractional laser by Sciton that refreshes the skin with minimal downtime. It targets early sun damage, uneven tone, and rough texture by delivering controlled laser energy to the skin surface. Patients choose Moxi for subtle brightening, smoother skin, and long-term complexion maintenance.
NanoLaserPeel®
NanoLaserPeel provides precise and gentle resurfacing by polishing the outermost layer of the skin. This treatment improves dullness, mild discoloration, and uneven texture. Downtime is minimal, and most patients resume normal activities within a couple of days, making it an excellent option for a quick refresh.
MicroLaserPeel®
MicroLaserPeel penetrates slightly deeper than NanoLaserPeel to remove damaged surface cells and stimulate regeneration. It effectively reduces fine lines, acne scars, and mild pigmentation issues. The result is a smoother, more refined skin surface with a brighter complexion.
ContourTRL™
ContourTRL provides powerful resurfacing and rejuvenation by removing a thicker layer of skin tissue. It effectively reduces deeper wrinkles, scars, and uneven tone. Because it works at a greater depth, the treatment requires a bit more downtime but delivers transformative improvements in texture and firmness. (3)
ProFractional™ Therapy
ProFractional Therapy targets only small fractions of the skin at a time, but it effectively stimulates collagen production and accelerates healing as it treats acne scars, enlarged pores, and fine lines. Patients benefit from noticeable texture refinement with moderate recovery time.
HALO® TRIBRID™
HALO TRIBRID represents the latest advancement in Sciton’s technology. As the world’s first triple-wavelength laser, it combines three different energy levels in one device to address multiple skin layers in a single session. Dr. Levine uses this treatment to correct pigmentation, boost collagen, and refine skin tone with precision and minimal downtime.
About Nordlys® Lasers
The Nordlys system by Candela complements Sciton’s offerings by providing additional flexibility and depth-specific rejuvenation. Using selective wavelengths and advanced fractional technology, the Nordlys platform can restore smoothness, enhance firmness, and repair damage caused by aging and sun exposure.
Frax 1940™
Frax 1940 is a fractional laser treatment that targets the epidermal layer of the skin to correct mild pigmentation and fine lines. It works by creating microscopic columns that trigger the skin’s natural healing response while leaving surrounding tissue intact. Downtime is minimal, allowing most patients to return to their routine quickly.
Frax 1550™
Frax 1550 goes deeper into the skin to stimulate collagen production, address sun damage, and enhance elasticity. We recommend this laser for patients who want more significant texture improvement while maintaining a reasonable recovery time. The treatment strengthens skin structure and provides long-term rejuvenation benefits.
IPL by Nordlys
The Nordlys IPL system utilizes selective light energy to reduce redness, pigmentation, and visible signs of sun damage. It treats vascular concerns, brown spots, and uneven tone with precision while keeping downtime at a minimum. This platform offers customizable settings that allow Dr. Levine to address a wide range of complexion concerns safely and effectively.
Ideal Candidates
Laser treatments are highly adaptable, making them suitable for a wide range of patients. Ideal candidates include individuals who:
- Want to correct uneven tone, fine lines, or pigmentation
- Wish to reverse early signs of aging without surgery
- Have visible redness or sun-related discoloration
- Prefer a minimally invasive treatment with measurable results

Personal Consultation

Preparation
Before your treatment, Dr. Levine and her team will provide detailed pre-care instructions to maximize safety and enhance your outcome. We typically advise patients to avoid tanning, exfoliating products, and topical retinoids in the days leading up to their session. Maintaining hydration and gentle skincare also helps the skin respond optimally to laser energy. Please thoroughly discuss any medications, prior treatments, or existing conditions during your consultation to ensure proper preparation.
Results and Recovery
Recovery time varies depending on the intensity of the treatment. Lighter procedures, such as NanoLaserPeel or Frax 1940, typically involve minimal downtime, while deeper options like ContourTRL or Frax 1550 require several days of healing.
Results continue to develop over the following weeks. Improvements can last for several months to a year or more, especially when patients maintain a consistent skincare routine and use sun protection. Dr. Levine or another staff member will provide all necessary aftercare guidance to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery process.

Corresponding and Combination Procedures
For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, Dr. Levine may recommend combining laser treatments with other procedures. Some of the ways to complement your laser treatment include:
Injectable Enhancements
We can combine wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers with laser resurfacing to smooth dynamic lines, restore lost volume, and refine overall facial balance.
JL Signature Treatments
Dr. Levine designed proprietary JL Signature combinations, such as Ultherapy PRIME with RF Microneedling or facial balancing, to enhance the effects of laser rejuvenation by targeting skin laxity and structural support.
Surgical Procedures
For patients pursuing more significant rejuvenation, we can pair laser treatments with various surgical procedures, such as a facelift, neck lift, or eyelid surgery.
Cost of Laser Treatments in New York City
The cost of your laser treatment will depend on the specific laser device we use, the area we treat, and the number of sessions you undergo. Dr. Levine will give you a detailed and transparent cost estimate after assessing your goals and skin condition during your personal consultation.
