Tailored, multi-layered skin renewal

Every complexion tells a story — sun exposure, time, texture, tone. Texas Facial Plastic Surgery now offers Sction laser and light treatments, giving our team the precision to treat fine lines, sun damage, uneven texture, redness, and pigment with results that look like you, only refreshed.

What Are Sciton Laser & Light Treatments?

Sciton is a trusted leader in laser and light-based skin rejuvenation, and its devices are used by leading dermatology and facial plastic surgery practices nationwide. Rather than a single one-size-fits-all laser, Sciton's platform allows our team to select — or combine — treatments based on your skin type, tone, and specific concerns.

At Texas Facial Plastic Surgery, we now offer four Sciton treatments, each suited to a different goal. Because these treatments address skin at different depths and different levels of intensity, many patients combine two or more as part of a customized plan built during their consultation.

Halo

The Hybrid Fractional Laser

Ablative-level renewal with a fraction of the downtime. Ideal for patients ready to address texture, tone, and fine lines in one focused treatment.

Moxi

Prevention, Refined.

A gentle laser fast enough for a lunch break, safe for every skin tone, and popular with patients starting laser treatments for the first time or maintaining results between bigger procedures.

BBL HEROic

Broadband Light Rejuvenation

No downtime, no lasers — just light-based energy that fades sun damage, calms redness, and evens tone. 

Halo Tribrid

The Next Generation

Sciton's newest resurfacing platform, combining three wavelengths in one device for our most comprehensive results.

Halo Laser

What Is Halo?

Halo is Sciton's hybrid fractional laser — the first of its kind to combine an ablative wavelength and a non-ablative wavelength in a single pulse. The ablative energy resurfaces the outer layer of skin while the non-ablative energy works deeper to stimulate collagen remodeling. The result: resurfacing that looks and feels more like a traditional ablative laser, with meaningfully less downtime.

What Halo Treats

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage and uneven pigmentation
  • Acne scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Overall dullness and early signs of aging

What to Expect

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, which typically takes 15–30 minutes. Most patients see visible improvement within about a week, with continued pigment and texture refinement over the following two to three weeks. Skin may appear pink or bronzed for three to five days as treated cells naturally exfoliate — many patients plan this around a long weekend. Many patients see their desired results in one to three sessions, though your plan is tailored during your consultation.

Moxi Laser

What Is Moxi?

Moxi is a gentle, non-ablative fractional laser built for patients who want real results without real downtime. Using a 1927nm wavelength, Moxi works at a shallow depth to refresh skin tone and texture while working with your skin's own healing process — no peeling, no hiding indoors.

What Moxi Treats

  • Early pigmentation and sun damage
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Rough or uneven texture
  • The first signs of aging — often called "prejuvenation"

What to Expect

Treatment takes about 8–10 minutes, not including numbing time, and downtime is minimal to none — many patients return to normal activities the same day. Because Moxi is gentle enough for nearly every skin tone and treatable year-round, it's a popular option both for patients new to laser treatments and for those maintaining results from a more intensive procedure like Halo or Halo Tribrid. Most patients choose a series of two to four sessions for the best results.

BBL HEROic

What Is BBL HEROic?

BBL HEROic uses BroadBand Light — a form of intense pulsed light (IPL) — rather than a traditional laser. Precisely filtered wavelengths of light are absorbed by pigment, redness, and other targets in the skin and converted to gentle heat, treating multiple concerns in a single session without harming surrounding tissue.

What BBL HEROic Treats

  • Sun spots, age spots, and freckles
  • Redness, rosacea, and visible blood vessels
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Early signs of aging and loss of firmness

What to Expect

There's no downtime with BBL HEROic — you can return to your normal routine immediately. In the days following treatment, pigmented spots typically darken slightly before flaking away over four to seven days, revealing clearer, more even-toned skin over the following two to four weeks. A single treatment can address isolated concerns, though most patients choose a series of two to four sessions spaced three to four weeks apart, with results lasting one to two years when paired with daily sun protection — an easy fit for Houston's year-round sun exposure.

Halo Tribrid

What Is Halo Tribrid?

Halo Tribrid is the first laser to combine three independently controlled wavelengths in a single handpiece. Where the original Halo pairs two wavelengths, Tribrid adds a third that reaches deeper into the skin, allowing our physicians to address surface-level texture, pigment, and deeper dermal concerns in one comprehensive treatment.

What Halo Tribrid Treats

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage and discoloration
  • Pigmented lesions
  • Scar revision
  • Enlarged pores and textural irregularities

What to Expect

Because Halo Tribrid allows each wavelength to be adjusted independently, your treatment is built specifically around your skin and goals during your consultation. Most patients see meaningful results after just one to two treatments, with many returning to their normal routine within days. As one of the first practices in the region to offer Halo Tribrid, we're excited to give Houston patients access to Sciton's most advanced resurfacing technology.

Am I a good candidate for Sciton laser treatments?

Most patients are good candidates for at least one of our four Sciton treatments — Moxi and BBL HEROic in particular are designed to be safe across a wide range of skin tones and concerns. The best way to know for sure is a consultation with our team.

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

During your consultation, we'll evaluate your skin type, tone, and specific concerns, along with how much downtime fits your schedule, to recommend the treatment — or combination — that best matches your goals.

Can I combine treatments?

Yes. Many patients combine treatments — for example, a Halo or Halo Tribrid treatment followed by periodic Moxi sessions to maintain results, or BBL HEROic layered in to target redness and sun damage specifically.

How long does treatment take?

Individual sessions range from about 8 minutes (Moxi) to 30 minutes (Halo and Halo Tribrid), depending on the treatment and the areas addressed.

How much downtime should I expect?

This varies by treatment: BBL HEROic and Moxi involve little to no downtime, while Halo and Halo Tribrid typically involve three to five days of pink or bronzed skin as the skin naturally exfoliates.

How many sessions will I need?

Halo and Halo Tribrid often deliver visible results in one to two sessions. Moxi and BBL HEROic are typically performed as a series of two to four sessions for optimal results.

Is treatment painful?

A topical numbing cream is applied before Halo, Halo Tribrid, and Moxi treatments to keep you comfortable. BBL HEROic is generally described as a warm, snapping sensation without the need for numbing.

Are these treatments safe for all skin tones?

Moxi and BBL HEROic are designed to be safe across a broad range of skin tones. Halo and Halo Tribrid candidacy depends on individual skin type and will be assessed during your consultation.

How long do results last?

Results vary by treatment and by how well you protect your skin afterward. BBL HEROic results commonly last one to two years with consistent sun protection; Halo, Moxi, and Halo Tribrid results can be extended with periodic maintenance sessions.
