Nonsurgical procedures are more popular than ever, and laser skin treatments are leading the way. With so many options, it can be hard to know which is the best skin laser treatment for your skin’s specific needs.
Many laser skin treatments are available today, and we offer multiple choices at our own practice. If you’re curious about stepping into the world of light and lasers, here are a few popular options to choose from.
HALO®
HALO is a comprehensive laser skin rejuvenation treatment that helps you create beautifully refreshed skin. For patients wondering what the best laser treatment for sun-damaged or aging skin is, HALO is often a top recommendation thanks to its dual-depth approach. It can be adapted to treat many issues, including:
- Enlarged pores
- Discoloration
- Fine lines
- Sun damage
- Uneven skin tone
During treatment, the laser penetrates both the epidermal (surface level) and dermal (lower layer) of skin, treating skin problems at their source. The laser creates natural-looking results and can even gradually fade freckles and old scars over time.
The strength of the laser treatment is customizable with HALO, and you can decide how many HALO treatment sessions are right for you based on that treatment strength. Many patients choose 1 to 3 more aggressive treatments for quicker results. You can discuss your options with your doctor to find the right plan for your cosmetic needs.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing is one of the easiest ways to get big skincare results in little time. Our Contour TRL™ system mainly focuses on repairing long-term skin damage caused by sun exposure. It works best to:
- Smooth deep wrinkles
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines
- Add firm, youthful texture to your skin
The power levels of the laser can also be adjusted to best suit your skin’s particular needs.
So, do skin tightening lasers really work? For the right candidate, yes. Contour TRL uses an erbium laser to peel away damaged outer layers of skin, prompting the body to produce fresh collagen beneath the skin, which creates a firmer, tighter look over time.
While Contour TRL can be used across the body, we typically use it for the face and neck. Based on the depth of your procedure, you may be able to achieve noticeable results after a single treatment session. Read my related blog post to learn more about what to expect from treatment.
BBL® Hero
BBL Hero uses the power of intense pulsed light (IPL) to tone and rejuvenate the skin. This specialized light creates changes at the molecular level to give noticeable, long-lasting results. The laser’s dual-lamps deliver light that penetrates the skin to:
- Fade brown spots
- Reduce redness
- Improve skin laxity
It can be used to treat nearly any area of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and more.
So, is IPL or laser better for skin? It depends on your goals. IPL treatments like BBL Hero excel at pigment and redness concerns, while traditional lasers like HALO or Contour TRL are better suited to texture and deeper resurfacing
Patients typically schedule 1 to 3 sessions depending on the specific issue they want to treat. There is no required downtime after this procedure, although your skin may feel sensitive for a few hours after treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best treatment for 50-year-old skin?
There’s no single answer, since the best treatment depends on your specific concerns and how your skin has aged. If sun damage and discoloration are your main concerns, HALO offers a customizable, dual-depth approach. If you’re dealing with deeper wrinkles or more pronounced texture changes, Contour TRL provides more dramatic resurfacing. For overall tone and pigment correction with no downtime, BBL Hero is often a good starting point. Many patients in their 50s benefit from combining treatments to address multiple concerns at once.
How long do laser skin treatment results last?
Results vary by treatment and depend on ongoing sun protection and skincare. HALO’s results can last a year or more with proper maintenance, since it stimulates collagen production at multiple depths. Contour TRL, being a more aggressive resurfacing treatment, tends to deliver longer-lasting improvements but requires more downtime upfront. BBL Hero’s results typically last several months and are often maintained with a series of touch-up sessions over time.
