Laser technology has transformed what’s possible in aesthetic medicine — but with so many options available, knowing which treatment is right for your skin can feel overwhelming. At Applied Aesthetic in Garden City, we’ve invested in the most advanced, clinically proven laser and light platforms available. Here’s your guide to the treatments we trust most for aging skin — and how to know which one is right for you.
HALO is Sciton’s award-winning hybrid fractional laser — the world’s first to combine ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in a single pass. It resurfaces damaged skin at the surface while simultaneously rebuilding collagen in the deep dermis. The result is a comprehensive skin reset: smoother texture, more even tone, reduced fine lines, and a youthful luminosity that patients consistently describe as transformative. For aging skin with multiple concerns, nothing comes close.
MOXI is the gentler, zero-downtime option in our laser lineup — and one of the most popular treatments we offer. Its 1927nm non-ablative wavelength targets pigment irregularities and accelerates cellular turnover with no required recovery. Many of our patients do a MOXI series in the fall and spring to maintain their HALO results and keep their skin looking its best year-round.
BBL HERO (BroadBand Light) is not technically a laser — it’s an intense pulsed light device with extraordinary precision. It selectively targets pigment and vascular irregularities while leaving surrounding skin untouched, making it one of the safest and most effective treatments for sun damage and age spots available. Bonus: clinical research shows regular BBL treatments may actually change the way skin cells express aging genes — making it a true anti-aging therapy, not just a corrective one.
Morpheus8 isn’t technically a laser either — it’s a radiofrequency microneedling device — but it belongs in every conversation about the best treatments for aging skin. By delivering RF energy at precise depths into the dermis and subdermal tissue, Morpheus8 drives a powerful collagen and elastin response that tightens, lifts, and resurfaces. It’s our go-to for patients dealing with laxity alongside textural concerns.
Not sure which laser is right for you? That’s exactly what our consultations are for. We assess your skin, discuss your goals and lifestyle, and design a custom protocol — whether that’s a single treatment or a layered combination approach.
