Skin Treatments

HALO TRIBRID

For years, getting at everything at once meant stacking treatments and taking the downtime twice. HALO TRIBRID puts three laser wavelengths in one handpiece, so texture, pigment, and the deeper layers are addressed in a single session with a single recovery.

Starting at $2,325
A consultation is required before booking.

HALO TRIBRID laser treatment on the face

What It Treats

Your skin carries the record of your life, and some of what it records you would rather not keep. These are the concerns HALO TRIBRID was built to address.

Fine lines and wrinkles

Softened as the skin's own renewal process is triggered and new cells come up.

Sun damage and uneven tone

Sun spots, discoloration, and the patchiness that makeup has been covering.

Acne scars and surface irregularities

Resurfacing and remodeling to even out texture left behind by old breakouts.

Enlarged pores

Visibly reduced in appearance as the skin's healing response tightens texture.

Dull, tired-looking skin

The flatness that sleep and skincare stopped fixing somewhere along the way.

Pigmented lesions

Cleared from both the papillary and reticular layers rather than only the surface.

“
A laser does not know what your face needs. The settings do, and the person choosing them does. That is where the result actually comes from.

The MK Approach to Resurfacing

Three Wavelengths, One Session

Your skin is not one layer, and neither is this treatment. These include the wavelengths behind HALO and MOXI, so one TRIBRID session stacks what those treatments do on their own. Each wavelength can be used on its own or combined with the others, and your provider sets the depth and intensity to match what your skin actually needs.

2940 nm

Smooths and Polishes

What it does

Resurfaces the outer layer of the skin to improve texture and soften fine lines. This is the wavelength behind that immediately smoother, polished feel.

Best for

Rough texture, visible surface imperfections, and anyone who wants instant polish.

1927 nm

Brightens and Balances

What it does

Targets unwanted pigmentation, discoloration, and sun damage to restore clarity and an even tone, without breaking the surface of the skin.

Best for

Sun-damaged or uneven skin, and the brown spots that keep reappearing every summer.

1470 nm

Deep Dermal Repair

What it does

Reaches into the dermis to stimulate deep renewal, which is where long-term improvement in tone, texture, and skin strength is built.

Best for

Deeper concerns and anyone looking for change that holds rather than a short-term glow.

What to Expect

Here is the honest version, start to finish, so you can plan around it rather than find out as you go.

Before

Your provider applies a topical numbing cream, or recommends another anesthetic option, roughly 60 minutes ahead of your treatment.

During

The handpiece glides across your skin with built-in air cooling running the whole time. Most patients describe a warm, prickling feeling rather than pain.

Days 1 to 2

Your skin looks red and feels tight, similar to a mild sunburn. Many patients are comfortable being out and about by the next day.

Days 2 to 3

A bronzed, sandpaper-like texture appears. These are MENDs, microscopic epidermal necrotic debris, and they are the treated cells working their way to the surface. This is the part that looks worse before it looks better, and it is supposed to happen.

Days 4 to 7

That texture flakes away on its own and the new skin underneath shows up. Expect 5 to 7 days of redness and flaking overall.

Weeks 1 to 3

Pigment continues to fade and tone evens out.

Months After

The dermal renewal keeps working. Skin quality continues improving for months, and with sun protection the results could hold for years.

Before and After Care

How you prepare and how you recover affect the result as much as the settings do. None of this is complicated, but it does matter.

Before your treatment

  • Stop retinols, exfoliants, and harsh skincare for 7 days.
  • Stay out of direct sun and tanning beds for at least 2 weeks.
  • Skip self-tanner in the treatment area.
  • Pause other resurfacing treatments, chemical peels, and waxing for at least a week.
  • Tell your provider about your current skincare routine and any medications you take.

The first 48 hours after your treatment

  • You will leave your treatment with a Velez Mask, which can be left on for up to 2 hours. Additional Velez Masks or Spray can be purchased and applied as needed for ongoing comfort.
  • Other than cleansing with lukewarm or cool water, do not apply anything else to your skin for the first 48 hours.
  • Avoid heat and any physical activity that breaks a sweat, including saunas and hot yoga.

After 48 hours

  • Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer until your skin has fully renewed.
  • Apply broad-spectrum SPF every day and avoid direct sun for at least a week.
  • Let the flaking happen on its own. Do not pick at it or scrub it off.
  • Follow the aftercare instructions your provider gives you.

Part of a Bigger Plan

No treatment works in a vacuum. HALO TRIBRID is usually sequenced with other things we do rather than run on its own.

With BBL. BBL handles vascular concerns and broad pigment across the face and body, which pairs naturally with the resurfacing TRIBRID does.

Alongside MOXI. MOXI remains the lighter option for maintenance between deeper treatments.

With injectables. Resurfacing changes skin quality. Injectables address volume and movement, which is a different problem.

With Sofwave. Sofwave works on laxity beneath the surface while TRIBRID works on the surface itself.

Supported by peptides. GHK-Cu and our Glow Stack support collagen and healing after resurfacing.

With VAMP PDRN. VAMP PDRN can be added on to your TRIBRID treatment. Pairing it with laser resurfacing can accelerate recovery while improving the final result.

Sequenced, not stacked. Your provider will tell you what order to do things in, and will tell you if TRIBRID is not the right starting point for you.

Common Questions

What is HALO TRIBRID? +
It is the first triple-wavelength resurfacing laser. Three treatments that used to require separate devices and separate appointments, HALO, MOXI, and Erbium resurfacing, are combined into one handpiece that renews the skin at every layer in a single session.
Who is it for? +
All skin tones, Fitzpatrick I through VI, and it can be performed year-round with proper sun protection. The settings are customized to your skin type and your goals, which is what makes that range possible.
How many treatments will I need? +
Some patients get dramatic results from one visit. Others choose a series for maximum improvement. Many do a yearly reset. Your provider will build the plan around your skin rather than a standard package, and will tell you honestly which one you need.
Does it hurt? +
With numbing cream and the handpiece's built-in cooling, most patients find it quite tolerable. You will feel warmth and some tingling during the session rather than sharp pain.
How long is the downtime? +
Expect 5 to 7 days of redness and flaking while your skin renews. Many patients feel comfortable resuming social activities by the next day, though days 2 through 4 are when the bronzed, sandpaper texture is most visible. Plan around that if you have something important coming up. For the first 48 hours, avoid heat and any physical activity that breaks a sweat, including saunas and hot yoga.
When will I see results? +
A glow within days. Pigment fading over 1 to 3 weeks. Healthier, more youthful-looking skin developing over the following months as the dermal renewal continues.
How long do the results last? +
With proper care and sun protection, the results could hold for years. Each treatment builds on the one before it. Skipping sunscreen is the fastest way to undo what you paid for.
What areas can be treated? +
Face, neck, chest, hands, arms, and legs. Anywhere on the body, on any skin type.
How is this different from MOXI or HALO? +
TRIBRID contains both of those and adds a third wavelength. MOXI on its own remains the gentler, lower-downtime option for maintenance and prejuvenation. TRIBRID is the choice when you want correction across multiple layers in one session rather than spreading it out. Your provider will tell you which one fits where you are.
What does it cost? +
HALO TRIBRID starts at $2,325. Your final price depends on the treatment areas and the depth of your plan. A consultation is required before booking, and that is where your provider builds your plan and your price.
