Cooler Days, Brighter Skin
Fall is prime time for laser treatment and light therapy because there’s typically less sun exposure and more time to recover comfortably. We’re kicking off the season with Sciton® HALO™, HALO™ Tribrid, and BBL HEROic™ —so we can personalize plans for a wide range of skin types and
goals. Whether you want smoother texture, fewer spots, or a fresher glow before the holidays, we’ll guide you to the right option – whether that’s Sciton® HALO™, HALO™ Tribrid, or BBL HEROic™, in Portland, OR.
Meet HALO™ Tribrid and BBL HEROic
Sciton HALO™ Tribrid (Hybrid Fractional Laser)
HALO™ is a hybrid fractional laser treatment that blends ablative and non-ablative wavelengths for balanced results and reasonable downtime. The new HALO™ Tribrid adds another wavelength designed to refine texture, soften fine lines, improve pore appearance, and tackle sun damage and acne scars. Most patients notice a brighter, more even tone once initial flaking resolves. As with all lasers, we’ll tailor settings to your skin and lifestyle, review medications, and map out a series or single-session approach that makes sense for you.
BBL HEROic (BroadBand Light)
BBL HEROic™ is not a laser—it’s a BroadBand Light treatment that targets redness, vessels, and brown spots with high-speed light pulses. This light treatment can be ideal for larger areas and for patients seeking minimal social downtime. Think more even tone, fewer visible spots, and a refreshed look with quick visits. Our team may pair BBL HEROic™ with HALO™ or stage treatments based on your skin type and tolerance for recovery to help maximize results safely.
Who Benefits and What to Expect
Personalized Plans for Many Skin Types
From early sun damage to more advanced texture concerns, we customize HALO™ lasers and BBL protocols for your skin tone and concerns. With careful assessment and test spots when appropriate, we can build plans for a broad spectrum of skin types. We’ll discuss at-home prep, sun protection, and how to maintain results.
Recovery, Results, and Aftercare
After HALO™, expect warmth, swelling, and “peppering” that flakes over several days; after BBL HEROic, mild redness and darkening of spots that lift away. Gentle skincare, strict SPF, and avoiding heat/sun help outcomes. Maintenance with periodic light therapy or lasers can keep skin looking clear and bright year-round.
HALO™ vs. BBL: Light Treatment or Laser?
