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, Erie, Broomfield, 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.
