When it comes to skincare, opting for advanced treatments can make all the difference in achieving long-lasting results. While some options, like fillers, provide quick fixes for volume loss, others, like laser resurfacing and RF microneedling, work on a deeper level to improve skin quality over time. Though the initial investment may seem steep, these treatments deliver results that go far beyond surface-level enhancements by stimulating collagen production—offering smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin that lasts.
Why Invest in Advanced Aesthetic Treatments?
Laser skin resurfacing and RF microneedling are standout treatments because they don’t just address symptoms—they target the root causes of skin aging, such as collagen depletion and skin texture irregularities. These advanced technologies offer long-term benefits like improved skin texture, tone, and firmness, making them superior to temporary solutions. While fillers and facials can offer instant volume and a fresh look, they don’t tackle the underlying issues like collagen loss, which is essential for maintaining healthy, glowing skin.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatments (BBL, Moxi)
Laser skin resurfacing treatments are advanced aesthetic procedures designed to improve skin texture, tone, and appearance by addressing a variety of skin concerns. Using targeted laser energy, these treatments remove damaged outer skin layers while stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers, promoting skin rejuvenation.
Common laser resurfacing treatments include BBL (BroadBand Light) and Moxi, which are ideal for reducing sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin tone. These treatments enhance skin quality over time and deliver long-lasting results by encouraging natural healing processes and collagen growth. Patients typically undergo a series of 3 sessions for optimal results.
Laser resurfacing can be tailored to different skin types and concerns, and it is especially effective for those looking to improve skin quality without invasive procedures. However, downtime and side effects like redness and swelling can vary depending on the intensity of the treatment.
BBL (Broadband Light)
Broadband Light (BBL) is a highly effective treatment that targets pigmentation, sun damage, and fine lines, making it ideal for those looking to refresh and rejuvenate their skin. As a non-invasive option, BBL uses targeted light to stimulate collagen production and improve skin tone and texture over time. It’s typically sold in packages of three sessions because optimal results are achieved with repeated treatments, ensuring that your skin continues to improve after each session. The lasting benefits make BBL an excellent investment for those seeking more radiant, even-toned skin.

Moxi
Moxi is the go-to treatment for prejuvenation, focusing on preventing the early signs of aging. It’s gentle enough for people looking to maintain youthful skin but effective enough to offer long-term results. Moxi pairs perfectly with BBL for a comprehensive approach to skin maintenance, providing enhanced results when combined. MOXI enhances skin texture and surface, while BBL evens out discoloration. One of Moxi’s greatest strengths is its versatility—it’s safe for all skin types. Unlike other laser treatments, which can cause complications for people with darker skin tones, MOXI uses a 1,927-nanometer wavelength to target water within cells, rather than skin pigment. This approach minimizes the risk of hyperpigmentation or melasma.

RF Microneedling (Sylfirm X, Morpheus 8, VirtueRF)
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture, tone, and firmness. During the procedure, tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, while RF energy is delivered into the deeper layers. This dual action promotes the natural healing process and enhances collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
Popular RF microneedling devices include Sylfirm X, Morpheus 8, and VirtueRF, which target concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, large pores, and skin laxity. Since RF energy penetrates deeper than traditional microneedling, it can achieve more dramatic results with less downtime. Typically, a series of 3-4 treatments is recommended for the best outcome. The procedure is safe for most skin types and offers long-lasting improvements by revitalizing the skin from within.
SylfirmX
SylfirmX offers a unique blend of radiofrequency (RF) energy and microneedling to address both skin tone and texture. This advanced treatment is especially effective in treating redness, rosacea, and improving overall skin firmness. By delivering targeted RF energy into the skin, SylfirmX ensures deeper treatment penetration, leading to longer-lasting results. Whether you’re looking to improve pigmentation issues or firm sagging skin, SylfirmX stands out for its ability to treat multiple skin concerns simultaneously.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is an RF microneedling treatment designed to remodel deeper layers of tissue, making it ideal for people seeking skin tightening and lifting. This treatment penetrates deeper into the skin compared to traditional microneedling, allowing for more dramatic results. Morpheus8 is perfect for anyone looking to tighten and firm the skin while simultaneously boosting collagen production, leading to improved elasticity and fewer wrinkles over time.
VirtueRF
VirtueRF combines RF energy with microneedling to offer significant long-term improvements in skin texture and the reduction of fine lines. Known for its minimal downtime, VirtueRF allows patients to quickly return to their daily routines while still achieving noticeable improvements in skin smoothness. For those wanting the benefits of microneedling but with a collagen-boosting twist, VirtueRF delivers long-lasting skin renewal with less hassle.

Collagen Production: The Key to Long-Lasting Results
One of the main reasons these treatments provide such long-term benefits is their ability to boost natural collagen production. Collagen is the protein responsible for keeping our skin smooth, firm, and elastic. Unfortunately, we lose about 1% of our collagen each year starting in our 20s. By the time we hit 45, our skin has already lost 25% of its natural collagen.
While collagen supplements can help support the body internally, treatments like BBL, Moxi, and RF microneedling work directly with your skin’s own processes to stimulate collagen production in the areas where it’s needed most. This natural boost of collage production leads to long-lasting results that enhance the skin’s structure and keep it looking firm and smooth.
Why Packages of 3 Sessions?
If you’re wondering why most advanced aesthetic treatments are sold in packages of three, it’s because consistency is key to seeing significant, long-term results. Skin has a typical cell turnover cycle of about 28 days, which means these treatments need to be spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart to allow your skin to fully heal and be ready for the next session. Each treatment builds upon the last, providing cumulative benefits that help improve skin quality over time.
While you will can see improvements after one session, for best results, multiple sessions (that are appropriately spaced apart) will allow the skin cells in the epidermis (which is where the laser targets) to renew and reveal refreshed skin.
While the upfront cost may seem high, these treatments typically require fewer follow-up appointments than temporary fixes like fillers, making them a more cost-effective option in the long run. And, because the results last longer, you’ll enjoy your glowing, youthful skin for months or even years.
Why These Treatments Are Worth the Investment
When comparing the cost and longevity of treatments like BBL, Moxi, and RF microneedling to short-term solutions such as fillers or facials, the benefits are clear. Fillers may provide instant volume, but these collagen-boosting treatments offer long-term improvements in skin radiance, firmness, and texture. By enhancing your skin’s natural structure, you’re investing in its overall health and future appearance.
