HOW IT WORKS

Uses specialized light filters to target pigmentation and redness, with visible improvement over about 1-2 weeks as the treated spots fade

Halo

Hybrid Fractional Laser

BEST FOR

Uneven skin tone, fine lines, sun damage, large pores, and dull skin — full face, neck, chest, or hands

HOW IT WORKS

A hybrid laser that targets both the surface and deeper layers of skin simultaneously — treating tone and texture at the same time for more comprehensive results

RESULTS

Noticeable glow and improvement in the weeks following; collagen continues building for months

DOWNTIME

A few days of swelling and redness and a “MENDS” phase (tiny brown dots flaking off)-most people plan for 5-7 days

Pairs beautifully with BBL for a full skin rejuvenation combo — tone, texture, and pigment all at once.

Profractional

Fractional ablative erbium laser

BEST FOR

Acne scarring, deeper texture issues, and targeted spot treatments — can treat specific areas like around the mouth or under eyes

HOW IT WORKS

Creates thousands of tiny channels in the skin to stimulate deep collagen production and resurface from within — more targeted than Halo

RESULTS

Significant improvement in texture and scarring; collagen builds over 3–6 months

DOWNTIME

Moderate, plan for 7-10 days with redness that improves over several weeks

TRL

Fully ablative erbium laser

BEST FOR

HOW IT WORKS

Fully ablative — removes the entire outer layer of skin to reveal fresh, new skin underneath. More aggressive than fractional lasers, with more dramatic results
