As your largest organ, skin is responsible for protecting your body and insulating you from extreme temperatures. However, because it’s your first line of defense, your skin is also subject to damage that reflects over time.
If your skin has begun to show signs of aging, or if you suffer from a skin condition such as acne, Synergy Spa Aesthetics is here to help. We offer a variety of skin care treatments and products that can help you look younger and feel more confident in your appearance.
We exclusively use the Sciton laser system, which is known as the “gold standard” of lasers due to its versatility and effectiveness. This cutting-edge laser system is favored by many of the top skin care and cosmetic surgery clinics around the world because it can be customized to each patient’s goals and is safe for any skin type.
Watch the video below to hear Synergy founder Anna Churchill explain why the Sciton laser is our favorite for treating a wide range of concerns.
Here are some of the skin conditions we have successfully improved with Sciton laser treatments:
Acne
Nearly 50 million Americans suffer from acne, making it the most common skin condition in the U.S. When hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, acne breakouts are the result. Though acne is associated with the teenage years, it can also persist long into adulthood for some people, causing both physical and emotional effects. Lasers can improve the appearance of acne by precisely targeting the bacteria that are partially responsible for causing acne to develop.
Rosacea
If you experience frequent redness on your nose, cheeks, chin and forehead, you may have rosacea – a common skin condition that is characterized by pimples, red patches of skin and visibly inflamed blood vessels. The condition affects an estimated 14 million Americans and is often mistaken for acne or eczema. Laser treatments can reduce the appearance of rosacea and help even out your skin tone.
Scarring
Though scars form naturally as part of your body’s healing process, their appearance can make people feel self-conscious. If you have noticeable scars, particularly from acne or a similar skin condition, lasers may be an option for you.
Skin pigmentation
When your body produces too much or too little melanin, you may have freckles, sun spots, moles, melasma or other skin patches that appear lighter or darker than the rest of your skin. Laser treatments can be an effective way to produce a smoother and more consistent skin tone.
Wrinkles and skin texture
Aging skin produces less collagen and elastin – two proteins that are responsible for maintaining the skin’s resiliency. When these fibers break down, the skin begins to form wrinkles and fine lines as it loses its ability to recover from being stretched. Lasers can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and refine the surface of your skin.
Your Laser Treatment Options
There are two main types of lasers used in skin care: ablative and non-ablative. The main difference between them is that ablative lasers are more invasive and require a longer recovery time. Depending on your goals and the conditions you’d like to improve with laser skin care, you may choose a minimally invasive treatment, or deeper resurfacing.

Sciton BBL
As you get older, the genes in your skin that are associated with youthfulness begin to deactivate, giving your skin an aged appearance. If you’re looking to rejuvenate your skin for an overall more youthful appearance, Sciton broadband light, or BBL, may be the solution you’ve been searching for.
Broadband light technology treats signs of aging and sun damage using pulsed light. The light energy heats the top layers of your skin, which stimulates cells to produce new collagen. The photothermal energy the BBL device emits can also eliminate the damaged blood vessels and capillaries in your skin that cause redness, as well as the excess melanin responsible for hyperpigmentation, melasma and freckles.
By combining BBL with a powerful IPL (intense pulsed light) device, we can also treat acne by delivering light energy deep into your skin to stimulate and regenerate your cells, leaving you with clear, healthy, radiant skin.
Scientific studies have shown regular BBL laser treatments reactivated dormant youthful genes, thus restoring a more youthful appearance. Patients who maintain a regular regimen of BBL treatments can continue to look younger and more refreshed for decades. At Synergy Spa & Aesthetics, we offer Sciton BBL laser treatment options for the face, neck, chest, back, arms and hands.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
NanoLaserPeel or NanoLaserPeel Plus
If your skin looks dull or tired, you may think a chemical peel or microdermabrasion is the only way to resolve your concerns. However, sometimes these treatments do not penetrate the skin deeply enough to achieve outstanding results.
Sciton’s revolutionary NanoLaserPeel is a superior treatment option that uses light energy to immediately remove the top layers of the skin at a depth that accelerates the skin’s natural renewal process. The NanoLaserPeel provides deeper resurfacing than microdermabrasion, with the same effect on skin as three to five microdermabrasion sessions in just one treatment.
The NanoLaser Peel is also a minimally invasive treatment that results in very little need for post-procedure healing or downtime.
MicroLaserPeel
The MicroLaser Peel skin resurfacing system is a medium-depth treatment that precisely ablates, or removes, the outermost layers of the skin that often show damage and signs of aging. This treatment stimulates new, healthy skin cells to re-grow, which leads to better skin tone and texture.
Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser
Sciton’s Halo is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser that has set a global standard for skin care. By combining deep dermal rejuvenation with epidermal renewal, Halo can help improve the appearance of numerous skin conditions, including:
Sun damage
Enlarged pores
Discoloration
Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven texture or skin tone
Scarring
