Being busy is all the buzz nowadays. There never seems to be enough time in the day for all our commitments, least of all for self-care. As important as it is, it’s difficult to carve out ‘me-time’ in a world that demands so much of us.
We recognize that convenience is a hot commodity, so this season, we’re bringing in some stellar new devices that will address a variety of your skin concerns in just one comprehensive treatment, including HALO Tribrid, MOXI, and BBL HEROic.
What is the HALO Tribrid Laser?
Sciton is a leader in harnessing light energy for cosmetic purposes. They have crafted the world’s first triple-wavelength laser. HALO Tribrid has both non-ablative and ablative wavelengths, so you get a wider range of treatments from just one machine.
A little bit of education on laser types for those totally new to these treatments. Ablative laser wavelengths impact the top two layers of skin. An ablative laser option yields revolutionary results within fewer sessions by targeting the outer skin and heating the lower layers simultaneously.

On the other hand, non-ablative lasers address the skin without leaving a mark on the surface. The non-ablative laser bypasses the skin’s outer layer, getting right to the source beneath, and often takes more sessions to see improvements.

HALO vs. MOXI: What’s the Difference?
The Tribrid can do quite a bit for your skin, seeing as it has three unique lasers. You can experience any combination of these lasers for your treatment. The tried and true therapies that we recommend from this device are the HALO and MOXI laser treatments:
Why the HALO Laser is Different
HALO Tribrid is an innovative hybrid ablative and non-ablative laser treatment. Combining the highest and lowest wavelengths on the Tribrid allows for both deep-skin rejuvenation and surface-level brightness… Because why would you choose one when you can have both?

The ablative wavelength in HALO targets the surface of your skin to even out your complexion and smooth out bumps. The non-ablative wavelength gets further into the dermis, restoring skin elasticity to minimize the appearance of sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles.
HALO laser therapy has the added benefit of reducing recovery time by cleansing the skin of dead cells and debris, leaving you with a clean and clear canvas.
MOXI: The Laser That Works for Pretty Much Everyone

For those of you looking specifically to address the ever-common and truly pesky hyperpigmentation issue, MOXI has just what you need. This non-ablative laser treatment tackles the molecules responsible for uneven complexion—we’re looking at you, melanin—to give you more even, radiant skin.

It’s safe for use on all skin tones and types and protects you from micro-injury like that found in micro-needling or ablative lasers. When combined with other wavelengths, MOXI can function faster or have longer-lasting correction. It’s a treatment that plays well with others and, as such, can be customized to your needs.
Laser Alternative: BroadBand Light
For the glow-getters who aren’t interested in laser treatments, we haven’t forgotten about you. BBL HEROic is Sciton’s IPL (Intense Pulse Light) device that addresses broader concerns with BroadBand Light—hence the name.

BBL is not just any IPL device; it works more efficiently than your run-of-the-mill pulse light therapy. Think of it as a happy middle ground between a milder IPL treatment and a stronger laser one.
BBL is great if you’re looking to address vascularity and hyperpigmentation. The spectrum of light used in the device targets hemoglobin and melanin—otherwise necessary molecules that sometimes overdo their function… Hemoglobin and melanin are responsible for creating sunspots, rosacea, visible scarring, and broken vessels.

The HEROic goes one step further, sensing skin temperature in real time and adjusting its output accordingly. Talk about intelligent control (the ‘ic’ in HEROic)… For galactic and microscopic concerns alike, BBL has got your back.
Which Laser Treatment is Right for You?
With so many options to choose from, you may be wondering where to start. Although there’s no better source for a recommendation than a consultation with a provider, we’ll offer some pointers:
- HALO Tribrid: Good for fine lines and wrinkles, laxity, and overall texture. It’s got a high impact and requires fewer sessions. If you’re a no-nonsense patient who has tried (and loved) laser therapies in the past, this might be the treatment for you.
- MOXI: Addresses hyperpigmentation and acne scars. It requires little downtime and yields long-lasting results. If you’re often on the go and have little allowance for recovery, or you’re just starting off and want to try a milder laser, consider MOXI.
- BBL HEROic: Treats vascularity and hyperpigmentation. It’s a non-laser alternative and one of the few non-invasive treatments that works on active acne. If you’re tired of over-the-counter acne products or you’re just not a fan of lasers in general, then BBL is the way to go.
If you’re having trouble picking just one of these options, the good news is… You don’t have to. At MD Beauty, you can get the HALO Tribrid treatments and BBL HEROic within the same appointment. So what are you waiting for? Book your consultation today.
