Which Laser Treatment Best Fits Your Lifestyle?

As summer approaches and the days get longer, it’s the perfect time to prioritize your skin. Whether you're noticing signs of sun damage, aging, or just looking to refresh your look, laser treatments can help restore your skin’s youthful glow. But with several high-quality options available, including Contour TRL, HALO, and MOXI, how do you choose the right one for your lifestyle?

At Effect Med Spa in St. Johns, Florida, we specialize in laser skin resurfacing treatments that target sun damage, pigmentation, and texture concerns. While all three options improve skin tone and texture, the key differences come down to downtime, treatment depth, and long-term results. Let’s explore the benefits of each to help you decide which treatment is your perfect match.

Contour TRL: The Ultimate Reset

Best for: 

• Deep wrinkles
• Advanced Sun Damage
• Significant Skin Texture Concerns

Downtime: 7–10 days
Longevity: Long-lasting results with just one treatment

If you're looking for dramatic, one-and-done results, Contour TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) is the gold standard. This powerful resurfacing treatment targets deep lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation. It removes the outer layers of damaged skin to reveal a smoother, firmer complexion.

Because it's more intensive, Contour TRL requires more downtime but delivers significant, long-lasting results, making it ideal if you’re planning your treatment around a vacation or extended weekend at home.

HALO Laser: The Hybrid Hero

Best for: 

• Fine Lines 
• Mild Sun Damage 
• Large Pores
• Uneven Skin Tone

Downtime: 3–5 days
Longevity: Long-term improvement with continued collagen stimulation

HALO by Sciton is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, which means it combines both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to treat multiple skin layers in one session. HALO is great for those who want noticeable results without the recovery time of a deeper treatment.

It improves skin texture, reduces pigmentation, and stimulates collagen, making it a perfect anti-aging maintenance treatment that fits into a busier lifestyle. HALO is also effective for reversing early signs of sun damage from long summer days spent outside.

MOXI: The Lunchtime Glow-Up

Best for: 

• Preventative Skincare 
• Subtle Signs of Aging 
• Dull Skin
• Tone Correction

Downtime: Minimal (redness and warmth for 24–48 hours)
Longevity: Best in a series of treatments

Looking for a low-downtime laser treatment you can do on your lunch break? MOXI is designed with younger or more sensitive skin in mind and is ideal for those just starting their skincare journey or looking for a light refresh.

This gentle, non-ablative laser targets pigmentation, sun damage, and uneven tone all without disrupting your daily routine. It’s the perfect summer skin solution if you’re not ready for extended downtime but still want visible improvement.
