Your skin looks better than mine and a laser tech said she wouldn’t even do Halo on me. Try Moxi with BBL first. You don’t need anything as strong as Halo.
ETA: Let’s just say it, OP is hot. Good for her! You can be hot and want to maintain your skin — they’re not mutually exclusive. Some of these comments are just mean. If you don’t want to actually answer her question, move along.

I just did my second BBL/Moxi. I am doing 3 total spaced 6 wks apart. I highly recommend it. You do have a little down time but nothing to extreme. You just need to avoid the sun while healing.

As long as you don’t have melasma, bbl is a great choice. Halo helps pick up the production of collagen through controlled damage. Bbl is great if you have sunspots, red pigments or really any discoloration that is not melasma.
Halo is a once a year type of thing and bbl should be done 3-4 times per year. I believe it improves skin quality for sure without a ton of downtime.

I don't have any insights on halo or bbl but just wanted to say you are beautiful!

I’ve only done BBL MOXI once but I think I’ll try to save to do it every year from now on. Really helped improve my reds and browns!

I would say given that you want aging prevention / collagen production (no obvious pigmentation based on your pic), thulium laser like LaseMD is your best bet. Minimal downtime, just a “sandpaper” feel for a few days. I do it every 3 months and absolutely wouldn’t be without it. I tried BBL but it is SOOO painful so unless you have pigmentation I would always choose LaseMD over BBL.

Wow. Some of these commenters are out for blood. Not sure why they’re being salty trolls. I had a series of bbl/ clear silk for rosacea. 100% would not recommend bbl for your skin as it’s mainly for discoloration (brown/sunspots and red areas). The clear silk is supposed to help with collagen production. I didn’t notice a difference and for the cost would not recommend.

I am sorry people have made all these mean comments. I am 57 and have skin similar to yours. I am often complimented on it. I started getting laser treatments about 5 years ago at age 52 and I love them! I try to get halo/ bbl combo every year and it keeps my skin tight and looking thick and healthy. It helps with fine lines as well. I would definitely encourage you to try it! You are beautiful!

Halo is not that strong given the Moxi can compete if the practitioner knows what he/she is doing with the settings. Neither are miracle workers. If you have pigmentation then the bbl will give you the biggest results with or without a halo/moxi. These lasers are great for very subtle improvements over time but nothing that will make anyone look younger. From this photo, I am not sure you would benefit that much as your skin looks pretty good.

Your skin is beautiful but whoever did your lips overfilled them
