The versatility of our HALO™ and MOXI lasers ensures a personalized approach that caters to diverse skin types and concerns. Most of our clients comment on the dewy and rejuvenated look they notice just weeks after their initial appointment.  

How It Works 

Laser resurfacing treatments reverse years of sun damage by removing damaged skin cells and triggering the body’s natural healing process.  HALO™ employs two distinct wavelengths—ablative and non-ablative—to address various skin concerns at multiple levels. When integrated into a long-term skincare regimen, HALO™ improves skin texture and clarity across all skin types, resulting in the coveted “HALO” glow, and potentially diminishing the need for future surgical interventions.   

The MOXI laser, a gentle non-ablative fractional laser, delivers energy into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This rejuvenates the skin from within, addressing fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and acne scars. The fractional laser technology in MOXI allows for controlled, targeted treatments, promoting quicker healing and minimizing the risk of complications. 

The state-of-the-art design in both HALO™ and MOXI provides unmatched precision and customization for every treatment. By targeting specific layers of the skin, these lasers ensure optimal results with minimal disruption to your daily routine. This approach empowers patients to rejuvenate their appearance while maintaining a healthy, radiant complexion. 

The synergy between technology and precision sets HALO™ and MOXI apart from conventional treatment modalities. By integrating these lasers into your regimen, you are investing in cutting-edge rejuvenation while reducing the likelihood of future skin concerns. Your skin doesn’t just look better—it becomes healthier, stronger, and more resilient. 

What It Treats 

Laser resurfacing offers a comprehensive solution for various skin concerns. The MOXI laser effectively addresses early signs of aging on the face, neck, chest, hands, and body, while reversing pigmentation irregularities and sunspots for a more even complexion. Additionally, it revitalizes the skin by improving its texture, tone, and softness, and reduces the risk of precancerous skin lesions.

Similarly, the HALO™ laser targets a range of skin aging indicators, including brown spots, discoloration, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, and fine lines and wrinkles. It also enhances skin texture and addresses precancerous skin lesions, like actinic keratosis. Both advanced laser resurfacing treatments result in youthful, healthy, radiant skin. 

The ability of MOXI and HALO™ lasers to address multiple dermatological issues makes them versatile additions to any skincare regimen. Whether you’re looking to correct damage accumulated over the years or prevent aging concerns before they occur, these treatments are tailored to cater to your unique skin requirements effectively. Plus, these lasers are suitable for a variety of skin tones and types, ensuring almost everyone can enjoy their benefits. 

Benefits 

Laser resurfacing offers various benefits to enhance your skin’s appearance and health. Our HALO™ laser in Toledo combines non-ablative and ablative wavelengths in the same treatment zone, maximizing results while minimizing downtime. This innovative approach makes HALO™ more comfortable and better tolerated than traditional fractional resurfacing methods. 

Safety and efficacy are at the forefront of HALO™ treatments. The device utilizes research-proven, intelligent energy delivery combined with Dynamic Thermal Optimization to ensure each session is precise, safe, and effective. Unlike standard non-ablative lasers, which may require 5-6 sessions for optimal results, HALO™ delivers exceptional outcomes in fewer treatments thanks to its state-of-the-art, scientifically verified technology. 

Versatility is another key feature of the HALO™ laser. It can treat all skin types and various body areas, including the face, neck, chest, and hands, making it a comprehensive solution for skin rejuvenation. 

The MOXI laser in Toledo offers numerous benefits, such as achieving younger and softer skin, reducing excessive pigmentation for a more even skin tone, and preventing early signs of aging. Clinically proven to reduce the signs of aging, improve skin health, and lower the risk of non-melanoma skin cancers caused by sun damage, MOXI’s gentle rejuvenation technology is ideal for those looking to maintain a youthful appearance. 

In summary, both HALO™ and MOXI lasers provide effective, safe, and versatile options for anyone looking to improve their skin’s health and appearance through laser resurfacing.

Step by Step

Step 1 Consultation

Dr. Barone or an EVOLV professional will thoroughly assess your skin care needs and objectives. They will start by discussing your medical history and reviewing photos to evaluate the current condition of your skin. This detailed examination helps determine if laser resurfacing treatment is right for you. They’ll explain the benefits and procedure, address questions, and create a customized treatment plan. You’ll receive pre-treatment instructions, including a skincare regimen, and discuss the estimated costs and scheduling. This ensures you have clarity and confidence moving forward, knowing your treatment is tailored to meet your unique goals. 

Step 2 Treatment Planning

Before your first treatment in Toledo, you’ll meet with the nurse practitioner or Dr. Barone. During this meeting, they will go over important pre-and-post treatment guidelines. These recommendations often include avoiding sun exposure, stopping certain skincare products or medications, and ensuring your skin remains hydrated. Their goal is to ensure your skin is perfectly prepped for treatment while minimizing any risks. Understanding and following these guidelines ensures optimal results and a smooth recovery. 

Step 3 Treatment

Your EVOLV provider will apply a topical numbing cream to ensure a pain-free experience. You’ll also receive protective eyewear to safeguard your eyes from the laser light. The laser handpiece will then be smoothly moved over the treatment area, emitting controlled pulses of laser energy. Most people describe the feeling as a mild tingling or warmth. For extra comfort, we may use a cold air chiller. This air chiller provides added relief during sensitive sessions, ensuring your experience is as comfortable as possible.
