Choosing the right laser treatment can feel confusing, especially when names like BBL HERO and HALO sound more like tech innovations than skincare solutions. At Willow Medical Aesthetics & Wellness in Morgantown, WV, we make it simple. Each device we use serves a unique purpose, addressing specific skin concerns from acne and sun damage to fine lines and discoloration.
Let’s break down our most popular laser and light treatments, including what they do, who they’re for and what you can expect during recovery.
If you’re not sure which treatment fits your needs, every new patient receives a complimentary VISIA® skin analysis and consultation. This high-definition scan helps us evaluate your skin health and design a customized treatment plan tailored just for you.
The Science Behind Skin Rejuvenation With Lasers
Your skin is constantly renewing itself, but as time passes, that natural process slows. Dead cells linger on the surface, collagen fibers weaken, and signs of aging, sun damage, or acne begin to show. Laser and light technologies help reactivate your skin’s natural renewal cycle, using energy to repair, rebuild, and restore from within.
Each device at Willow Medical Aesthetics & Wellness works on a simple yet powerful principle: light energy transforms into heat energy. When delivered precisely into the skin, this energy triggers key responses:
- Stimulating new collagen and elastin: essential proteins that smooth and firm the skin’s structure
- Breaking down unwanted pigment and redness: light targets excess melanin and vascular irregularities, revealing a more even tone
- Encouraging healthy cell turnover: removing damaged surface layers so brighter, fresher skin can take its place
This combination of science and precision makes laser therapy one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate skin, all without surgery or extended downtime.
Which Laser Options Do We Provide?
When it comes to skin rejuvenation, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Each laser and light treatment at Willow Medical Aesthetics & Wellness is carefully chosen for its ability to target specific skin concerns, whether that’s acne, discoloration, fine lines, or uneven texture. Our advanced technologies are designed to work with your skin, not against it, restoring clarity, balance, and radiance with precision and care.
AviClear™: The Breakthrough Acne Solution
AviClear™ is the first FDA-cleared laser designed specifically to treat acne at its source: the oil glands. Rather than targeting surface bacteria or relying on harsh medications, AviClear selectively heats and regulates the sebaceous glands to reduce excess oil production.
After a series of three monthly sessions, most patients experience visibly clearer skin with fewer breakouts and less oiliness. Because it’s medication-free, AviClear is safe for nearly all skin tones and can be a game-changer for those who haven’t responded to antibiotics or isotretinoin (Accutane®).
BBL® HERO™ Face & Body: BroadBand Light Reimagined
BBL® HERO™ (High Energy Rapid Output) represents the next evolution of light therapy. Using intense pulses of light, it targets brown spots, redness, and small vessels with exceptional speed and comfort. The HERO handpiece allows us to treat large areas such as the chest, arms, and back up to 4 times faster than traditional IPL devices.
Beyond cosmetic improvements, BBL HERO actually reprograms skin cells at the molecular level, encouraging them to behave like younger cells. The result? Clearer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin and ongoing rejuvenation with each maintenance session.
Forever Young BBL®: Slow Down Visible Aging
Forever Young BBL® is designed to keep your skin in “maintenance mode.” Regular treatments help reverse early aging and stimulate collagen renewal, improving tone, elasticity, and overall brightness.
Unlike quick-fix treatments, Forever Young BBL works on a genetic level, helping your skin function younger by reactivating genes linked to youthful cell behavior. Think of it as routine skin fitness: the more consistent you are, the more luminous your results.
HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser: Deep + Surface Renewal
HALO® takes a dual approach to skin rejuvenation by combining ablative and non-ablative laser wavelengths in a single treatment. This hybrid technology addresses surface imperfections while simultaneously working on deeper structural concerns beneath the skin.
The ablative wavelength removes damaged surface cells, improving tone and texture. Meanwhile, the non-ablative wavelength penetrates deeper to stimulate collagen production and address concerns like fine lines and sun damage from within. This comprehensive approach delivers dramatic improvements in skin quality with less downtime than traditional resurfacing lasers.
Most patients see significant results after just one HALO® treatment, though your provider may recommend additional sessions based on your specific concerns and goals.
MOXI® Laser: Gentle Prejuvenation for Long-Term Glow
MOXI® is sometimes called the “starter laser,” but don’t underestimate its power. It gently refreshes the skin by creating microscopic treatment zones that stimulate collagen production and cellular renewal.
Because it’s non-ablative, MOXI fits easily into any skincare routine without significant downtime, just a refreshed glow. It’s ideal for patients who want to prevent visible aging or extend the benefits of more advanced treatments, such as HALO® or BBL HERO™.
MicroLaserPeel: Precision Resurfacing You Can Personalize
The MicroLaserPeel offers precision control; we can adjust the treatment depth based on your unique skin needs and recovery tolerance. A lighter peel produces a weekend-ready glow, while a deeper setting provides more intensive resurfacing and rejuvenation.
Expect improved tone, texture, and clarity as new, healthier skin emerges. The result is a refreshed, refined appearance with visibly smoother skin.
How Do You Know Which Treatment Is Right for You?
With so many advanced options available, it’s completely normal to wonder where to begin. The truth is, the best laser treatment isn’t about choosing the newest or most powerful device. It’s about selecting the one that’s right for your unique skin type, goals, and lifestyle.
At Willow Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, we start every treatment journey with a complimentary VISIA Skin Analysis and personalized consultation. This high-definition scan takes a deep look beneath the surface, measuring texture, pores, wrinkles, UV damage, and pigment irregularities that may not yet be visible to the naked eye. Using this data, your provider designs a plan that pinpoints exactly what your skin needs, whether that’s targeted acne correction, collagen stimulation, or overall rejuvenation.
