Medical-grade laser skin resurfacing at Marina Medspa in Brentwood using the Sciton HALO hybrid fractional laser, Forever Young BBL broadband light, and Sciton ProFractional / Fraxel re:store DUAL systems. Targets sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines, scars, and skin laxity. Pricing and downtime vary by device and intensity; consult for a personalised plan. Price shown is an estimate for a HALO session.

Marina Medspa offers a comprehensive suite of Sciton-platform laser resurfacing technologies, enabling the clinical team to select the most appropriate energy device and settings for each patient's skin type, concern, and downtime tolerance. The Sciton HALO is a hybrid fractional laser that simultaneously delivers two wavelengths: a non-ablative 1470nm wavelength targeting deeper dermal remodelling and pigmentation, and an ablative 2940nm wavelength that precisely resurfaces the superficial epidermis. The combination in a single pass allows the team to calibrate the ratio of ablative and non-ablative energy to achieve outcomes ranging from minimal-downtime brightening passes to aggressive full-surface resurfacing for deep sun damage and scarring. HALO is particularly valued for producing what patients describe as a 'HALO glow' — a noticeable improvement in radiance, evenness, and pore size — with downtime typically three to seven days. Forever Young BBL (BroadBand Light) from Sciton uses intense pulsed light filtered to target chromophores in the skin associated with pigmentation, redness, and vascular irregularities. It is the only energy device shown in peer-reviewed studies to alter gene expression in skin cells toward a younger phenotype with repeated annual treatments, making it a popular long-term maintenance treatment for photoaging. BBL sessions have minimal downtime — a few days of pigment darkening before it flakes off — and are commonly performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands. ProFractional (Sciton) and Fraxel re:store DUAL deliver ablative and non-ablative fractional resurfacing, respectively, for more targeted treatment of acne scars, surgical scars, deep wrinkles, and textural irregularities with controlled column injury patterns that preserve surrounding tissue for rapid healing. Treatment plans at Marina Medspa often combine these devices — for example, pairing BBL to address pigment with HALO for overall resurfacing — to achieve multi-dimensional skin improvement. Pricing and downtime are determined at consultation based on device selection and treatment parameters.
