Advantages of attending Sciton’s educational offerings
Why should you attend a Sciton event? Let’s explore a few key benefits for you and your practice.
Connect with experts in laser medicine: Attending a Sciton event provides valuable networking opportunities. Over time, this can help you create a supportive network where you can seek advice, share experiences, and exchange information. Building these relationships can also pave the way for future collaborations and partnerships that can enhance your success.
Expand your clinical skillset: Attending Sciton’s clinical training workshops and preceptorships gives you access to new technologies, best practices, and evolving standards and protocols. These experiences help broaden your skill set and deepen your clinical knowledge, empowering you to excel in your practice. (Looking for additional on-site training in your practice? Reach out to our team of nurse educators today.)
Gain insight into market dynamics: Sciton’s Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) provide valuable insights on patient selection, treatment parameters, combination therapies, and market dynamics, including consumer trends and preferences. This knowledge can help you tailor your treatment offerings to your patient demographic, expand your service menu to meet clients’ evolving needs, and stay competitive in the fast-evolving aesthetics industry.
One Skin CEO headliner, Adam Haroun, a luxury branding expert, educates providers on the psychology behind luxury brands, teaching them how to differentiate their practice by avoiding price competition and creating an exclusive “by-referral-only” client roster. To hear Adam speak at a Skin CEO event near you, visit our website.
Get inspired to take action: Exposure to success stories, case studies, and inspiring keynotes can motivate you to elevate your own practice. Learning from the experiences of other providers can fuel creativity and drive positive change for your practice and patients. Dr. Fredric Stern, MD, FACS, Medical Director of The Stern Center for Aesthetics in Bellevue, WA, shares his success story with Sciton’s mJOULE platform.
“The mJOULE has opened our practice up to a much broader demographic. We now have a large millennial and Gen Z population coming in for MOXI treatments … MOXI has also opened the door to a wider range of skin types as it can treat a variety of conditions without [causing] post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in Fitzpatrick skin types IV and above. It’s really broadened our spectrum, and we now have something we can offer to everyone every season of the year!” Read more about Dr. Stern’s experience with Sciton here.

Concierge Marketing by Sciton
According to The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery’s (ASDS) 2021 Consumer Survey on Cosmetic Dermatologic Procedures, 78% of patients followed their current or potential provider on social media, and more than half of consumers believed that a provider’s social media presence impacts their decisions to schedule an appointment. However, not all providers are reaping the enormous benefits of marketing their business on social media.
The New Era of Marketing in Plastic Surgery: A Systematic Review and Algorithm of Social Media and Digital Marketing cites that only 15% of plastic surgeons post content daily, in stark contrast to the 70% of millennials engaging on social media multiple times a day. This gap highlights an untapped area that could benefit patients and plastic surgeons.
If you’re not marketing your business on social media, what’s holding you back?
Cultivating an active social presence is essential for growing a successful aesthetic practice in today’s digital age. Yet, seeing good results requires time, effort, and patience. If you lack the necessary experience or time—investing in experts can help promote your business, attract new patients, and maximize your earnings.
With Concierge Marketing by Sciton, a dedicated social media expert becomes an extension of your practice—helping you expand your social reach and grow your practice using proven and effective branding strategies, consultation training, and personalized content tailored to your unique brand.
Sciton customers who subscribe to Concierge Marketing attract more patients from social media, boosting revenue and client satisfaction.
