Testimonials

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Bitter during one of his BBL seminars in NYC. I am truly impressed by how genuinely knowledgeable he is when it comes to the aesthetic and dermatology realm. Dr. Bitter is a Key Opinion Leader in medicine. His expertise and passion for his patients really shines.

Hi Dr. Bitter, I just wanted to send a formal thank you for taking the time to talk to my friend Hayley and I after your presentation on BBL at this year’s Aesthetic Show in Las Vegas. It was such a great discussion and you presented amazing points that I know I’m interested in learning more about! Although I’m not yet in the aesthetic field (currently a cardiology nurse in Austin, TX) I’m inspired and encouraged to pursue this path and I look forward to learning from you, and maybe even seeing you lecture again at next year’s TAS!

Dr. Bitters advanced training for the BBL is amazing. Two years ago, I attended a training in Seattle and took an employee. We received manuals at the training – Dr. Bitters Bible on how to make the BBL sing! That same employee decided to quit after the Covid pandemic and took the advanced training manual that belonged to the spa with her. I contacted Dr. Bitters beautiful wife Abla, asking her if there was any way to get another copy of the manual, and she graciously found one from two years ago and FedEx’d it to me, at no charge whatsoever, not even the shipping. These are beautiful people – inside and out. Not to mention extremely talented at what they do – making others beautiful too! Love Dr. Bitter and his lovely wife Abla Bitter. Thank You!

I am new to the operation of the BBL which is why I wanted to attend this training session. I’ve been a part of Dr. Waldrop’s team for several years but as an assistant, I will soon be an RN operating the BBL for the practice. This session really helped me so very much to better understand what the BBL can do and how to use it safely and effectively with THEE best results! I’m excited to have the opportunity to get to work with it!! And even more grateful to Dr. Bitter and his wife for offering such an amazing opportunity!!

Thank you Dr. Bitter and Alba for hosting an amazing educational BBL Master course. It was such an informative experience and a very welcoming setting. As current users of this technology, we were able to implement D. Bitter’s techniques right away with even better results for our patients.

I cannot recommend Dr Bitter enough!!. What an honor to have been trained by the person behind most of the scientific research on BBL and it’s anti-aging benefits. You can tell that Dr Bitter is truly passionate about what he does and that he wants the absolute best for his patients and the practitioners that he teaches. I will use this knowledge for many years to come. Thank you again!

“Dr. Bitter also hosted a one day in person training with five practitioners from Hall Plastic Surgery from Austin Texas. I customized their day of training to demonstrate BBL, HERO, BBL SkinTyte face and body, MOXI, and a BBL/Moxi/HALO Combination treatment. Each of the attendees received treatment from me. I demonstrated BBL Forever Clear for acne, the one step BBL HERO for delaying skin aging on the face, Moxi for melasma, BBL HERO two step for correction on the face and arms, BBL HERO with SkinTyte for neck rejuvenation, BBL HERO fort the chest, BBL HERO/MOXI/Deep HALO for face rejuvenation and acne scars, BBL for surgical scars and spot Erbium techniques for benign lesions. I know the day was of extraordinary value for each of the participants and Hall plastic surgery. Even though nearly all of the practitioners from Hall plastic surgery had experience with BBL, MOXI, HALO, and BBL HERO they all felt that the day long training in my office Provided them with information and techniques they had not learned or seen before. They all were very excited and shared they feel the day long training With me has given them skills and techniques not only with BBL HERO BUT ALSO MOXI, Halo, and the spot Erbium handpiece (which Hall Plastic Surgery had on their Joule system but did not know how to use) that will take their appreciation and use of Sciton’s technology to a whole new level. That was my goal. I think Hall plastic surgery will become a real star for Sciton in Austin.”

“Our office just returned from a private training with Dr. Bitter, and I am blown away at the excellence of the entire experience! Not only did we learn more than we could have imagined, we also had the honor of being treated by and learning hands on from Dr. Bitter himself. He is the kindest man and he truly cares about people and wants them to love their skin. He has spent his life working with skin, and he is happy to share all that he has learned with us so we too can help people love their skin! I feel more equipped and knowledgeable about using our Sciton modalities including BBL, Moxi, and Halo. And Abla Bitter is the kindest soul, taking care of everything behind the scenes and making sure we were all comfortable every step of the way. Truly the BEST training!!! Thank you, Dr. Bitter and Abla!!!”

DR. LAWRENCE WANG , Las Vegas, NE


Dr. Bitter’s in-person course on the Sciton BBL and BBL HERO was fantastic and well worth the time and cost. New to the world of BBL, I did the Sciton training, Bitter’s online course as well as another online course. All of these had their place, but I was looking forward to his in-person training to get a feel of not only advanced techniques and nuances, but an advanced way of thinking of what our new machine could bring to our patients. As a plastic surgeon with 4 providers under me, I wanted to make sure I know all there is to know about this technology. This course did not disappoint. He was so gracious, and patient, staying (late) until everyone had all of their questions answered.

Dr.Patrick Bitter Jr is my hero, not SCITON hero😀 but my real hero in the laser practice. As a kindergarten student I entered the laser business 10 years ago. First time I saw and heard Dr.Bitter lecture at Chicago convention. The laser basics and advanced procedures he explained in a magical way in few days. The essence made a huge impact on me to develop my interest in laser treatments. As a mechanical engineer background and the support of my physician wife I am successfully sailing in this industry so far. I regularly follow Dr.Bitter lectures and see his procedures in a way I follow his footsteps 😂. I strongly believe and advise every person in this industry should follow his guidelines and training to be successful.

Dr. Bitter is a wealth of knowledge. His passion for expanding the laser industry is second to none. I highly recommend his training courses.
Dr. Tamra Schue


We chose this course because we saw Dr. Bitter speak at a summit in Dallas, and we are aware of his expertise as we have previously attended a preceptorship in Tampa with Dr. Bitter. I highly recommend this course due to his expertise and insight. We want Dr. Bitter to continue to be the generous, unselfish mentor that he is.

I chose Dr. Bitter’s course to better understand the power of BBL, teach myself, and bring knowledge back to my office NP who I employ and supervise. I would absolutely recommend this course to others, the most valuable part was the clinical examples and questions that followed about settings, passes, timing and treatments.

Jan Marie D’Amato,


I have been following Dr Bitter for years, and recently heard him speak at a Sciton laser summit. The most valuable part is Dr. Bitter’s knowledge and experience and talking to other providers. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone.
Aesthetician, Cross Medical Group


Dr. Bitter is the master of BBL. I was very excited to hear everything he had to say and teach. I would absolutely recommend this course to others. The most helpful thing was mastering the forever young steps and settings. I really want to be a master treating vascularity and pigmentation.
Julie Militello
Medical Esthetician and Laser Technician, Summit Aesthetics


I chose this course because of Dr. Bitter’s Reputation. I would absolutely recommend this course to others. The most helpful part was learning after care, appropriate settings and technique.

This has been by far the best training I have done in 14 years of being an esthetician and laser technician. 5 Stars!
