Question 1

What is BBL (BroadBand Light)?

Accepted Answer

BBL is a non-invasive light-based treatment that targets redness, pigmentation, and sun damage while stimulating collagen production. Best for sunspots, age spots, rosacea & redness, and uneven skin tone. There is no downtime — just mild redness for a few hours.

Question 2

How many BBL treatments are needed?

Accepted Answer

3–5 sessions for best results, and then maintenance can be done at less frequent intervals.

Question 3

What is Moxi?

Accepted Answer

A gentle fractional laser that refreshes the skin by stimulating collagen and reducing early signs of aging with little to no downtime. This laser is safe on all skin types. Best for fine lines & early wrinkles, mild pigmentation & sun damage, preventative anti-aging, and melasma/PIH.

Question 4

How many Moxi treatments are needed?

Accepted Answer

3–4 sessions for optimal results. Downtime is 24–48 hours of mild redness and rough texture.

Question 5

What is Erbium laser resurfacing?

Accepted Answer

A fractional laser that precisely removes the top layers of skin, improving texture, wrinkles, and scars with faster healing than CO2 lasers. Best for deeper wrinkles & lines, perioral lines, acne scars, and uneven texture. Downtime is 5–7 days of redness and peeling.

Question 6

How many Erbium treatments are needed?

Accepted Answer

1–2 sessions, depending on severity.

Question 7

What is CO2 laser resurfacing?

Accepted Answer

A fully ablative or fractional laser treatment that removes damaged skin layers, stimulating deep collagen remodeling for significant rejuvenation. Best for deep wrinkles & severe sun damage, advanced skin laxity, and acne scars & texture issues. Downtime is 7–14 days of redness, peeling, and swelling.

Question 8

How many CO2 treatments are needed?

Accepted Answer

1 session for dramatic improvement, often combined with Erbium.

Question 9

Does laser resurfacing hurt?

Accepted Answer

BBL & Moxi are well tolerated with minimal discomfort. Erbium & CO2 lasers may require numbing cream, local anesthesia, or sedation for comfort.

Question 10

How long do laser resurfacing results last?

Accepted Answer

Results are long-lasting, but maintenance treatments & skincare can help extend benefits. Chemical peels and HydraFacials® can be used to keep the laser results lasting longer by stimulating collagen and skin turnover.
