Good skin has options.
At EVOLV Plastic Surgery & Medical Aesthetics in Toledo, we use Sciton® laser technology to customize skin resurfacing based on what your skin actually needs.
MOXI is our go-to for a lighter refresh, helping improve uneven tone, texture, visible sun damage, and early signs of aging with minimal downtime. HALO takes resurfacing a step further, combining two laser wavelengths to address both the surface and deeper layers of the skin for more comprehensive correction.
Different lasers. Different levels of treatment. Same idea: better skin, customized to you.
Whether your skin needs a refresh or a full reset, we’ll help you figure out how far to take it.
Think of laser resurfacing as a reset for your skin.
Using controlled laser energy, treatments like HALO and MOXI create precise treatment zones that kickstart your skin’s natural renewal process and encourage fresh collagen production.
As your skin gets to work, resurfacing can help improve the appearance of:
• Fine lines
• Uneven tone and texture
• Visible sun damage
• Pigmentation
• Enlarged pores
• Certain types of scarring
• Dull, tired looking skin
The difference is how far we take it. MOXI offers a lighter approach when your skin needs a refresh, while HALO allows us to go deeper when more correction makes sense.
Fresh collagen takes time, so your skin can continue to improve well after your appointment.
A little laser or a bigger reset. We’ll match the treatment to your skin.
Same laser family. Very different skin days.
MOXI: The Refresh
MOXI is a gentle, non ablative fractional laser designed to improve uneven tone and texture, visible sun damage, pigmentation, and early signs of aging.
It’s a great option when you want to freshen things up, maintain your skin, or start incorporating laser treatments without jumping straight into more intensive resurfacing.
Think brighter, smoother, refreshed skin with manageable downtime.
HALO: The Reset
HALO takes things a step further.
As a hybrid fractional laser, HALO combines ablative and non ablative wavelengths in a single treatment. This allows us to address different layers of the skin at the same time, targeting concerns like visible sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven texture while stimulating fresh collagen.
More correction. More resurfacing. That signature HALO glow on the other side.
So, Which One Does Your Skin Need?
That depends.
Your skin, goals, treatment history, desired level of correction, and the amount of downtime that works for you all help determine which laser makes the most sense.
Sometimes it’s MOXI. Sometimes it’s HALO. Sometimes both can have a place in your long term skin plan.
You don’t need to know which laser to book.
That’s our job.
Sun, time, texture. Skin keeps receipts.
Depending on the laser and treatment settings selected for you, HALO and MOXI can help improve the appearance of:
• Visible sun damage
• Brown spots and uneven pigmentation
• Uneven skin tone
• Rough or uneven texture
• Fine lines and visible signs of aging
• Enlarged pores
• Dull, tired looking skin
• Certain types of scarring
And we’re not limited to the face. Depending on your skin and goals, laser resurfacing can also be used on areas like the neck, chest, hands, and other appropriate areas of the body.
Maybe you’re correcting changes that have built up over time. Maybe your skin just needs a really good refresh.
Either way, we’ll choose the laser and treatment level that make sense for where your skin is now.
Not every skin concern needs the same level of laser.
When You Want a Refresh
MOXI gives us a gentler resurfacing option for improving visible sun damage, pigmentation, uneven tone, texture, and early signs of aging. Treatment intensity can be customized based on your skin and goals, making it an easy addition to an ongoing skin plan.
When You’re Ready for More
HALO combines ablative and non ablative wavelengths in the same treatment, allowing us to address multiple layers of the skin at once. It’s our go to when more comprehensive correction and resurfacing make sense.
Your Treatment, Your Settings
Laser treatments at EVOLV aren’t pulled from a preset menu. Your provider will consider your skin tone, concerns, treatment history, desired results, and comfort with downtime before choosing the technology and settings.
More Than the Face
Depending on the treatment and your individual skin, resurfacing can also be used on areas like the neck, chest, and hands.
Some skin needs maintenance. Some skin needs a reset.
Good thing we can do both.
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.
30 – 120 minutes
The duration of the treatment can range from 30 to 120 minutes, depending on the specific laser used, the area being treated, and the extent of the treatment required.
MOXI is the lighter lift when it comes to downtime. Depending on your treatment settings, you may experience redness, warmth, or a rough, sandpaper like texture for a few days while your skin renews.
HALO typically comes with a little more recovery. Redness, swelling, and visible peeling or flaking can last several days, with more intensive treatments requiring additional downtime.
The more we ask your skin to do, the more recovery it may need.
We’ll help you choose a treatment level that works with your skin, your goals, and your calendar.
Your skin is doing some work, so a little post laser activity is normal.
After HALO or MOXI, you may temporarily experience:
• Redness
• Swelling
• Sensitivity or warmth
• Dryness
• Flaking or a rough skin texture
What you experience will depend on the laser, treatment intensity, and your skin. We’ll walk you through exactly what to expect and how to care for your skin while it recovers.
A little downtime. A lot happening behind the scenes.
None
Topical numbing cream and oral sedation are used if necessary. This ensures maximum comfort and a stress-free experience during your procedure.
Expect brighter, smoother, more even looking skin.
After HALO, patients may notice improvements in visible sun damage, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, enlarged pores, and overall skin tone and texture.
Your skin will continue to improve as it renews and fresh collagen develops, so results become more noticeable in the weeks following treatment.
And yes, that signature HALO glow is very much part of the appeal.
Absolutely. It just depends on what you want to improve.
At EVOLV, we offer a wide range of non surgical treatments for concerns like sun damage, uneven tone and texture, fine lines, volume loss, and other visible signs of aging. Your plan may include laser and light treatments, injectables like Botox and dermal filler, microneedling, chemical peels, or medical grade skincare.
But we’ll also be honest when a non surgical treatment can only take you so far.
For more significant skin laxity, tissue descent, or structural changes, surgery may provide a more effective and longer lasting result than trying to accomplish the same thing with repeated non surgical treatments.
Sometimes the answer is a laser. Sometimes it’s injectables. Sometimes it’s surgery. And sometimes the best result comes from combining them.
The goal isn’t to avoid surgery at all costs. It’s to choose the treatment that actually makes sense for you.
Laser resurfacing works by delivering controlled energy into the skin, triggering its natural renewal process and stimulating fresh collagen production.
As your skin renews, treatments like HALO® and MOXI® can help improve visible sun damage, uneven tone and texture, fine lines, enlarged pores, and overall skin clarity.
Think fresh collagen, smoother texture, and brighter skin from the inside out.
Laser resurfacing can help improve a variety of skin concerns, including:
• Fine lines and visible signs of aging
• Sun damage and brown spots
• Uneven pigmentation and discoloration
• Rough or uneven skin texture
• Enlarged pores
• Dullness
• Certain types of scarring
• Overall skin tone and clarity
At EVOLV, we use HALO and MOXI to customize the level of resurfacing based on your skin, concerns, and goals.
Different skin needs different levels of laser. We’ll help you figure out yours.
Recovery after a MOXI laser treatment is quick and straightforward, with little to no downtime required. While your skin might appear slightly pink and feel similar to a mild sunburn, this typically subsides within a few hours. For HALO™ procedures, the recovery time varies based on the treatment’s intensity, generally taking between 5 and 10 days.
Avoid direct sunlight, use broad-spectrum sunscreen, and follow the post-care routine suggested by your provider for enhanced healing.
The number of sessions depends on the individual’s skin concerns, but many patients achieve noticeable improvement after just one HALO™ or MOXI treatment.
