As summer winds down, you can reflect on the good times you’ve had:
- Hitting up the pool.
- Spending days at the lake.
- Vacationing where the surf is sweet.
- Hiking the great outdoors.
- Making your patio your second home!
The only problem is that the sun had its own fun causing aesthetic issues. And let’s not even talk about what pool chemicals and saltwater contributed!

The Process for HALO Laser Skin Treatments in Vienna
Dermestetics performs HALO treatments on a simple outpatient basis. First, you’ll relax in a private treatment area at our luxurious medical aesthetics practice. Topical anesthetic cream will be applied to the treatment area(s) if needed.
Then, your Dermestetics provider will pass the HALO hand-piece across your treatment area. HALO’s advanced technology delivers a customized program of non-ablative and ablative laser wavelengths, penetrating to both the superficial and deeper layers of your skin.
It’s that easy. 30 to 60 minutes later, you’re done and ready to head home. In a few days, you’ll notice dark spots appearing in the treatment area, called “mends.” They’re part of your body’s natural healing process, making the disrupted unwanted pigmentation (sunspots, freckles, etc) rise up and slough off.
The deeper treatment promotes collagen production for new support and volume, making skin healthier as it erases lines and wrinkles.
HALO Aftercare
Our HALO fractional laser treatment delivers different results based on your skin concerns, your body’s unique abilities to heal, and the aggressiveness of the treatment.
Common Side Effects of Halo Laser Skin Treatments in Vienna
After Halo resurfacing, you can expect some redness in the treatment area(s). This is normal and expected. It’s the most intense for the first 3 days following treatment, and redness may last up to 7 days depending on the depth of treatment.
The treatment area commonly incurs some swelling immediately after treatment. Cold compresses or ice packs help relieve the swelling. It may last 2 to 4 days depending on treatment aggressiveness.
There may be pinpoint bleeding in the treatment area which can last up to 12 hours. This is natural and not a medical concern.
Your Dermestetics provider will explain all the possibilities during your consultation so that you’re fully informed about the procedure’s expectations.
What You Can Do at Home
After your Halo laser treatments in Vienna, Dermestetics recommends this at-home care:
- Cleanse the skin 2 times a day with lukewarm water & a gentle cleanser.
- Generously apply provider-recommended moisturizers.
- Wear provider-recommended sunscreen (this is pretty much a way of life!).
- Avoid exercise, heat, sweating, saunas, and strenuous activities until after the skin has healed.
- Do not pick/rub/scratch the skin during the healing process.

MOXI

The Process for MOXI Laser Skin Treatments in Vienna
MOXI treatments are simple outpatient procedures performed in our luxurious medical aesthetics practice. Once you’re comfortable in a private treatment area, your provider applies numbing cream. When it’s ready, they’ll pass the MOXI hand-piece across your treatment area to deliver heat below the skin’s surface via thousands of tiny, deep channels.
One of the unique and amazing facts about these channels is that they don’t damage surrounding tissue. This fractional approach to skin resurfacing significantly reduces the time needed to heal when compared to treating an entire area with an ablative laser.
And because MOXI targets water and not melanin, all skin types can be treated any time of the year.
MOXI Aftercare
MOXI’s fractionated, non-ablative laser is safe to use on the face, neck, chest, arms, hands, and even legs.
Common Side Effects of MOXI Laser Skin Treatments in Vienna
You can expect some redness and swelling in the treatment area(s). This is normal and expected. It’s the most intense for the first 3 days following treatment, but redness may last up to 7 days depending on the depth of treatment.
Cold compresses or ice packs help relieve the swelling. It may last 2 to 4 days, depending on treatment aggressiveness.
There may be pinpoint bleeding which can last up to 12 hours.
Your Dermestetics provider will explain the possibilities during your consultation so that you’re fully informed about the procedure and healing expectations.

When you’re home after having MOXI treatment, Dermestetics recommends you:
- Sleep with your head elevated for 2 to 4 days after treatment.

- Apply Dermestetics-recommended moisturizers throughout the healing process.

Process for BBL HERO Laser Skin Treatments in Vienna
BBL HERO treatments are simple outpatient procedures performed in our luxurious medical aesthetics practice. Your provider will customize the settings to your needs before numbing and then applying the hand-piece to your treatment area. It delivers heat energy that stimulates your cells for active regeneration.
This energy can also target melanocytes—the cells that cause melasma, freckles, and age spots. BBL HERO disrupts these cells, and your body naturally removes them.
For skin redness, BBL targets the deeper blood vessels that cause the issue. This shuts down those vessels, and your body absorbs the remnants for more even skin tone.
BBL HERO Post-Care
Now that you’ve had your BBL HERO treatment, there are some common side effects you should expect, plus recommended at-home care to support your positive results!
Common Side Effects of BBL HERO Laser Skin Treatments in Vienna
As your body eliminates the destroyed melanocytes, they may look darker for 2 to 3 days. There may be some peeling/sloughing of skin cells for 7 to 10 days, causing itching and some flaky skin—but don’t scratch or try to peel the skin. This could cause scarring. Once the process is done, new, healthy skin will appear with a more even tone and that youthful “glow.”
Your BBL HERO treatment area will probably appear pink or slightly sunburned immediately after treatment. This should fade within 2 to 4 hours.
Your Dermestetics provider will explain the possibilities during your consultation so that you’re fully informed about the procedure expectations.
What You Can Do
Until the sensitivity from your BBL HERO laser treatments in Vienna subsides, your at-home care should follow these suggestions:
- Avoid scented lotions, soaps, creams and gels.
- Don’t scrub your treatment areas our use loofahs.
- Apply vitamin E or aloe vera to help soothe the area.
- Strictly avoid sunlight for 7 to 14 days.
- Don’t go into swimming pools/spas.
- Refrain from activities that cause excessive perspiration.
