3 Treatments for Brighter Skin

Glowing, brighter skin—who doesn’t want it? Whether you’re prepping for a special occasion or just want to look effortlessly luminous every day, brighter skin is always in style. But achieving that fresh-faced glow often takes more than your at-home skincare routine. That’s where professional treatments come in, and we’re here to share three of our all-time favorites: Sciton BBL HEROic, Microneedling, and Sciton Moxi. Each of these treatments is a powerhouse for skin rejuvenation, and when combined or tailored to your specific needs, they can deliver amazing results. Let’s discuss what makes these treatments so effective—and why we’re obsessed with them.

1. Sciton BBL HEROic:

If brighter, even-toned skin is your goal, Sciton BBL HEROic is the ultimate solution. BBL (BroadBand Light) is the next generation of IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology. It uses light energy to target and correct a variety of skin concerns, including pigmentation, redness, and uneven tone, all while stimulating collagen production. 

What is Sciton BBL Heroic?


BBL HEROic delivers rapid pulses of light energy into the skin, targeting melanin (brown spots) and hemoglobin (redness). It’s a versatile treatment that can address issues like sun damage, age spots, redness, and even acne. Think of it as hitting the “refresh” button on your skin, leaving you with a clearer, more even complexion.

Why We Love Sciton BBL HEROic


1. Visible Results, Fast: Many patients notice a brighter, clearer complexion after just one BBL Heroic session. With regular treatments, the results only get better.

2. Skin Rejuvenation: BBL HEROic doesn’t just brighten—it helps improve skin texture by stimulating collagen.

3. Quick Treatment: With its high-speed delivery system, BBL HEROic covers large areas quickly and comfortably.

4. Treats Face and Beyond: This isn’t just for your face! BBL HERO can rejuvenate skin on the neck, chest, arms, and hands

5. Minimal Downtime: After a session, you can expect a little redness (like a mild sunburn) but no significant downtime

2. Microneedling:

Microneedling is a tried-and-true favorite. It’s all about using your skin’s natural healing abilities to create a smoother, more even-toned complexion. Using tiny, ultra-fine needles, this treatment creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger collagen and elastin production. 

What is Microneedling?


Think of microneedling as a workout for your skin—it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that keep your skin firm and smooth. The treatment is highly customizable and can target concerns like fine lines, acne scars, texture, and dullness.

Why We Love Microneedling


1. Boosts Collagen Production: The micro-injuries kickstart your skin’s healing process, leading to plumper, firmer skin over time.

2. Improves Texture: Microneedling can help smooth out acne scars, refine pores, and reduce fine lines.

3. Enhances Product Absorption: Post-treatment, your skin is more receptive to serums and skincare products, meaning your favorite formulas work even harder.

4. All-Natural Rejuvenation: There are no chemicals involved—just your skin’s natural healing power.

5. Customizable: Whether you’re targeting specific areas or treating your entire face, microneedling can be tailored to your unique needs.


Pro Tip: Pair microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for an even greater boost in collagen and skin rejuvenation. 

3. Sciton Moxi:

For those looking for a gentle yet powerful way to brighten and refresh their skin, Sciton Moxi is the perfect pick. This laser treatment is designed for all skin types and is particularly popular for “prejuvenation”—maintaining your skin’s glow before significant signs of aging appear. 

What is Sciton Moxi?


Moxi is a non-ablative fractional laser that delivers gentle energy to the skin’s surface, encouraging cell turnover and improving skin tone and texture. It’s a fantastic option for those just starting their skin rejuvenation journey or looking for a treatment with minimal downtime.

Why We Love Sciton Moxi


1. Gentle Yet Effective: Moxi is a great entry-level laser treatment. It’s gentle enough for first-timers but effective enough to make a noticeable difference.

2. Brightens and Evens Skin Tone: It targets pigmentation, sun damage, and uneven tone, leaving your skin looking fresh and radiant.

3. Minimal Downtime: After a Moxi treatment, you can expect a little redness and mild flaking as your skin renews itself—perfect for a quick refresh without long recovery times.

4. Year-Round Treatment: Unlike some lasers, Moxi is safe to use year-round, even during summer months.


Self Skin Studio Tip: Combine Moxi with BBL HERO for a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation. Together, they tackle tone, texture, and brightness.
