Sciton Contour Long Pulse Erbium Laser

CONTOUR is the number one selling laser for skin resurfacing and is now recognized as the gold standard. It combines the best features of C02 and erbium while eliminating the drawbacks of each. The result is ONE laser that enables the physician to tailor a specific treatment for every patient. The ability to upgrade by adding IMAGE (hair removal and vascular) to the existing platform makes this an extremely versatile laser.

Faster Healing

Compared to the CO2 laser, patients treated with CONTOUR heal in approximately one-half the time. Because there is minimal necrotic tissue, sloughing and exudate are decreased, and the intensity and duration of erythema are significantly reduced. The result: An easier recovery period for both patient and physician.

Fewer Complications

Physicians who use CONTOUR experience a dramatic reduction in postoperative complications. Specifically, the amount of delayed hypopigmentation and scarring is greatly reduced when compared to the CO2 laser.

Additional Procedures

CONTOUR allows precise control - to within a few microns - of the depth of ablation and the depth of coagulation. This permits the optimal treatment of other conditions - removal of syringomas, epidermal nevi, solar lentigines, keratoses, warts and hypertrophic scars.

Upgradeable

CONTOUR provides room within the existing platform for future wavelengths. Currently you can add IMAGE, for hair removal and vascular lesions. This versatility helps to expand your practice, increase profitability, and protect your investment.

Intuitive Touch Screen Control

Quickly and easily change ablation depth, coagulation depth, scan pattern, pattern size, overlap and repeat interval from a single screen.

CONTOUR is designed for use in surgical applications requiring the excision, incision, ablation, vaporization, and coagulation of soft tissue, and for skin resurfacing. Soft tissue includes skin, subcutaneous tissue, striated and smooth tissue, muscle, cartilage, cartilage meniscus, calculi or fragments, mucous membrane, lymph vessels and nodes, organs and glands. Surgical specialties and applications include: general surgery, plastic surgery, aesthetic surgery, dermatology, urology, gynecology, genitourinary, ENT, pulmonary surgery, thoracic surgery, podiatry, oral & maxillofacial surgery, opthamology (including oculoplasty), small and large joint arthroscopy, microdiscectomies, and endoscopic procedures.
