When it comes to achieving youthful, radiant skin, today’s technology offers more options than ever. At Lone Star Plastic Surgery and MedSpa, we’re proud to offer a suite of advanced treatments—including Halo, BBL, and Morpheus8 —each designed to address different skin concerns and deliver transformative results. But with so many choices, patients often ask: “Which laser is right for me?”
Let’s break it down.
Halo: The Hybrid Fractional Laser
Halo is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, combining both ablative and non ablative wavelengths in one treatment. This allows us to target both the surface of the skin (for texture, sun damage, and discoloration) and deeper layers (for collagen stimulation and tightening).
Best for:
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Uneven tone and texture
- Fine lines
- Enlarged pores
Downtime: Moderate—expect a few days of redness, swelling, and bronzing before fresh new skin appears.
Why patients love it: Halo provides dramatic results in just one or two treatments, giving a noticeable “glow” that’s both corrective and preventive.
BBL (BroadBand Light): The Photofacial Powerhouse
BBL uses intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to improve skin tone and clarity with no downtime. Sometimes called a “photofacial,” it works by gently heating the upper layers of the skin and targeting pigment irregularities.
Best for:
- Brown spots and freckles
- Redness and broken capillaries
- Overall skin clarity
- Preventative “Forever Young BBL” maintenance treatments
Downtime: Minimal—most patients return to normal activities immediately, though some darkening of pigment before it flakes away is expected.
Why patients love it: BBL is quick, comfortable, and produces glowing skin with regular treatments. It’s also proven to actually change the expression of genes associated with aging—keeping your skin healthier long-term.
Morpheus8: Beyond Lasers with Radiofrequency Microneedling
While not technically a laser, Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel both skin and deeper tissues. Tiny needles create controlled micro injuries while delivering heat to stimulate collagen, tighten skin, and even improve contour.
Best for:
- Skin laxity on face, neck, and body
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars or textural concerns
- Contouring jawline, neck, and even abdomen
Downtime: Varies—expect redness and swelling for 2–4 days. Makeup can typically be worn after 1–2 days.
Why patients love it: Morpheus8 not only rejuvenates the skin but also helps with tightening and contouring, making it a favorite for non-surgical facial and body rejuvenation.
So…Which Treatment Is Right for You?
Each of these technologies has unique strengths. The right choice depends on your skin type, lifestyle, and cosmetic goals. Many patients even combine treatments—such as Halo with BBL for the ultimate glow, or Morpheus8 with BBL for tightening plus surface renewal.
At , our team customizes every treatment plan after a thorough consultation. Whether you’re looking for preventative care, a dramatic resurfacing, or skin tightening, we’ll help you choose the option (or combination) that gets you to your best skin yet.
