Winter is often called “laser season”—and for good reason. Cooler temperatures, less direct sun exposure, and more time spent indoors make the winter months ideal for laser treatments, photorejuvenation, and long-term skin rejuvenation. At Bare Radiance Aesthetics, our providers create customized plans using BBL HEROic and MOXI to improve your complexion, enhance moisture, and address the most common winter skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, melasma, dullness, acne, redness, and early wrinkles.

Why Winter Is the Best Time to Start Laser Treatments?

Laser treatments are most effective when the skin is protected from ultraviolet exposure. Because winter typically involves fewer hours of intense sunlight, it’s easier to maintain proper sunscreen habits and avoid direct sun, reducing the risk of complications like pigmentation changes and sunburn.

Winter is also when many people notice:

  • More dryness and decreased moisture

  • Rougher texture in the epidermis

  • Increased sensitivity and worsening skin conditions

  • Dullness and uneven tone from slower cell turnover

  • More visible fine lines and wrinkles due to dehydration

That’s why this season is perfect for treatments that stimulate collagen, improve tone and texture, and strengthen the skin barrier—especially when paired with the right skin care plan at home.

Meet the “Winter Glow Duo”: BBL HEROic + MOXI

Even though they’re often grouped, BBL HEROic and MOXI work differently—and that’s exactly why they’re so powerful in a winter plan.

BBL HEROic Photorejuvenation

BBL HEROic is a high-performance broadband light-based treatment that targets pigment and redness using specific wavelengths of light and controlled energy delivery. It treats issues like:

  • Sunspots and hyperpigmentation

  • Redness, flushing, and visible vessels

  • Uneven tone and discoloration

  • Post-acne marks and some acne conditions

  • Early signs of aging and uneven texture

Because it targets pigment and redness without damaging the surface, it’s a favorite for clients in Westminster, Erie, and Broomfield who want noticeable results with minimal downtime.

BBL is considered a form of photorejuvenation because it uses light-based technology to stimulate healthy skin renewal in the dermis while improving overall skin clarity.

MOXI Laser Treatment

MOXI is a gentle, fractional laser that improves skin texture, tone, and glow by stimulating collagen and elastin formation. We offer this advanced treatment in Westminster, ErieBroomfield, and Arvada. It is ideal for:

  • Early fine lines and wrinkles

  • Roughness and uneven texture

  • Mild pigmentation and sun damage

  • Enlarged pores and dull skin

  • Preventative skin maintenance

MOXI works below the surface using controlled heat to trigger renewal and improve tone and texture without aggressive ablation. This is why it’s considered a great option for long-term skin maintenance, especially during winter when healing is easier.

How Providers Customize Your Winter Laser Plan?

At Bare Radiance, customization is the foundation of safety and results. A “good” laser treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all—it matches your skin, goals, and lifestyle.

1. Skin Consultation + Skin History

Your provider starts by reviewing your skin history and current routine. This includes:

  • Sensitivity levels

  • Current products like retinol or exfoliants

  • Past reactions to peels or lasers

  • History of melasma or pigmentation issues

  • Any active acne or other skin conditions

This step is key for treatment safety and helps determine whether you’re a better candidate for BBL, MOXI, or both.

2. Treatment Goals (Tone, Texture, or Both?)

Some patients want a clearer tone and reduced pigment. Others want a smoother texture and collagen stimulation. Most want both.

That’s why winter laser plans often focus on:

  • Skin tone correction (BBL HEROic)

  • Texture and collagen renewal (MOXI)

  • Overall glow and long-term skin health

  • A balanced approach that supports hydration and barrier repair

3. Laser Settings + Custom Energy Delivery

This is where professional expertise matters most. Your provider adjusts:

  • Intensity of light or laser energy

  • Density settings with MOXI

  • Wavelengths used during BBL for pigment and redness

  • Comfort and safety protocols like cooling systems and topical anesthetics

This is also how Bare Radiance supports accessibility for different comfort needs. Some patients prefer a gentler approach spread over more sessions, while others prefer stronger results with a longer recovery window.

4. Combining Lasers with Other Treatments (When Appropriate)

Many winter laser plans include supportive services like:

  • Hydrating facials to restore moisture

  • A gentle chemical peel for dullness

  • Medical-grade skincare adjustments

  • Injectable options like injectable filler, Sculptra, or Restylane (when volume loss is a concern)

While Bare Radiance focuses on minimally invasive skin rejuvenation, we also evaluate whether supporting treatments—like collagen stimulators—are better suited for facial structure rather than surface changes.

These services can complement lasers, but they are not treated the same way as a laser-based plan. A provider will guide you on timing, since combining laser with injectables should always be done carefully to protect the tissue and skin barrier.

What to Expect During and After Your Session?

Before Treatment

  • Cleanse skin with a gentle cleanser

  • Avoid retinol, strong exfoliants, or sun exposure

  • Your provider may apply a topical anesthetic

  • Protective eye shields are always used

During Treatment

You’ll feel warmth and light snaps during BBL and a heat sensation during MOXI. Many patients describe it as manageable, especially with cooling and comfort measures. We offer topical numbing to help with the procedure itself.

After Treatment

Typical recovery includes:

  • Mild redness and warmth (often described like a light sunburn)

  • Temporary darkening of pigmented spots before they flake away

  • Slight dryness or “sandpaper” texture after MOXI as the epidermis renews

Post-care is essential:

  • Hydration-focused skin care

  • Mineral sunscreen

  • Avoiding exfoliation or harsh products temporarily

  • Gentle routines that support healing

Why a Winter Laser Plan Works So Well?

A structured plan gives better outcomes than random treatments because it allows for:

  • Gradual and controlled improvement

  • Stronger long-term collagen support in the dermis

  • Better pigment correction and fewer flare-ups for recurring issues

  • A personalized approach that addresses multiple skin concerns at once

Lasers are not plastic surgery, but they offer a powerful non-invasive alternative for visible rejuvenation. They support collagen and elastin production, help clear pigmentation, and smooth fine lines without the downtime of aggressive procedures.

FAQs: Winter Laser Planning with BBL HEROic + MOXI

BBL HEROic is a broadband light treatment focused on pigment and redness, while MOXI is a fractional laser that improves texture and stimulates collagen for smoother skin.

Yes. BBL HEROic is a form of photorejuvenation because it uses light therapy to stimulate skin renewal and correct tone and discoloration.

They can improve pigment issues, including sunspots and some melasma, but melasma requires careful planning and continued sunscreen use since it can be triggered easily. We often do a series of Moxi to help tackle melasma.
Avoid aggressive exfoliation, strong acids, and products like retinol until your provider tells you it’s safe to resume. Use gentle cleansers and hydrating skincare during healing.
Most patients see best results with a series, typically 3–5 sessions spaced a few weeks apart. Your provider will create a plan tailored to your skin concerns.
Even in winter, sunscreen is essential. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, avoid direct sun exposure, and keep skin moisturized to support healing and collagen renewal.
