If you’re dealing with sun spots, redness, uneven tone, or rough texture, laser and energy-based treatments can be a simple, non-surgical way to refresh your skin. At ProMD Health Bel Air, we customize treatment selection based on your skin type, goals, and how much downtime you’re comfortable with.

What Laser Treatments Can Help With

Laser and light treatments are commonly used to improve:

  • Sun damage and brown spots
  • Redness and visible discoloration
  • Uneven tone and dullness
  • Texture concerns and enlarged-looking pores
  • Fine lines and surface-level roughness

A Quick Guide to Popular Options

BBL (BroadBand Light)
Often chosen for visible discoloration like sun spots and redness. Many patients like BBL because it can brighten the overall look of the skin with little to no downtime.

MOXI
A “maintenance-friendly” option when you want a fresher look without a major recovery window. It’s commonly used for early tone and texture changes and can be a great fit for busy schedules.

MicroLaserPeel (MLP)
A laser peel that targets the surface layer of skin to help improve texture, dullness, and pore visibility. It’s often selected when you want a noticeable “reset” for smoother-looking skin.

Not Sure What You Need?
If you’re unsure whether you need pigment correction, texture improvement, or overall skin maintenance, a consultation makes it easy to build a plan that matches your skin and your calendar.

What To Expect (Simple Overview)

  1. Consultation: We review your goals and skin history, then recommend options.
  2. Treatment Day: Your provider preps the skin and performs the treatment.
  3. Aftercare: You’ll get clear guidance on skincare, sun protection, and what to avoid while your skin recovers.

Best Results Come From a Plan

Many people do best with a series or a combination approach (for example, one option for discoloration and another for texture). Your provider can help you pick a timeline that makes sense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose waxing over shaving?
Waxing removes hair from the root, giving you instant smoothness and results that last longer than shaving. You'll also notice cleaner regrowth and less daily upkeep compared to stubble.
Can I get waxed if I use retinoids or acne products?
If you use retinoids or acne products, you should stop using them 2–5 days before facial waxing. These products can increase irritation and the risk of skin lifting during the process.
Who should postpone a waxing appointment?
You should postpone waxing if you have active irritation, sunburn, or open skin in the area. If you're dealing with ingrown hairs or inflamed bumps, it's best to treat those first before waxing.
