Sciton equipment: what to know before you buy
Sciton builds modular platforms: you buy a console, then the treatment modules that run on it. Our catalog covers three Sciton systems, all with full profiles: BBL HEROic broadband light, the HALO TRIBRID resurfacing laser and the compact mJOULE platform. Start with the platform decision, because JOULE, JOULE X and mJOULE differ in power, size and the modules they accept.
Three checks before you buy
- Decide the platform firstJOULE runs on 200 to 240 V and weighs about 200 lb; mJOULE runs on 110 V at about 100 lb. The platform sets which modules you can add.
- Match the generationBBL HERO and HEROic, and HALO and HALO TRIBRID, look alike in listings. Confirm the handpiece and the host platform.
- Ask which record covers each moduleFDA lists Sciton’s modules by wavelength, not brand name, so ask which clearance covers each module in your quote.

Common questions about Sciton equipment
What is the difference between JOULE and mJOULE?
JOULE is Sciton’s full modular platform; mJOULE is a compact two-module platform on 110 V power for BBL HEROic, MOXI and 1064 nm modules. See the mJOULE profile.
What changed from BBL HERO to BBL HEROic?
HEROic adds motion tracking that fires each pulse as the handpiece moves, plus the SkinSmooth filter. See the BBL HEROic profile.
What is HALO TRIBRID?
A handpiece on JOULE X that combines a 2940 nm ablative laser with 1927 nm and 1470 nm non-ablative lasers; the original HALO has two wavelengths. See the HALO TRIBRID profile.
