HALO® TRIBRID™ Laser Skin Resurfacing in Arlington, VA

Home » Treatments » HALO TRIBRID Laser

Smooth. Brighten. Renew — all in one powerfully customized treatment.

HALO TRIBRID is Sciton’s newest breakthrough: a single treatment that unites three proven wavelengths to transform the skin at multiple depths in one session and one recovery. Think of it as HALO’s glow, MOXI’s clarity, and Erbium’s polish—strategically combined for results you can see and feel.

Meet HALO TRIBRID — Why it’s Different

HALO® TRIBRID™ is the first triple‑wavelength resurfacing laser engineered to treat the surface, mid‑epidermis, and dermis in one appointment—so you get brighter tone, smoother texture, and deeper collagen renewal with one recovery window. In a single, precise glide, TRIBRID blends:

  • 2940 nm (Er:YAG, ablative) to resurface and smooth the outer layer—softening lines and refining pores,
  • 1927 nm (non‑ablative) to clear sun damage and discoloration for even, radiant tone, and
  • 1470 nm (non‑ablative) to stimulate dermal remodeling for firmer, healthier‑looking skin.

Behind the scenes, smart safeguards—like Dynamic Thermal Optimization, real‑time optical navigation, and color‑guided feedback—help your provider maintain even coverage and consistent energy from start to finish. Translation: precise, efficient treatments with results you can trust.

What it Helps

  • Fine lines & wrinkles
  • Sun damage, brown spots, uneven tone
  • Acne scars & textural irregularities
  • Enlarged pores & roughness
  • Overall skin dullness or early laxity

How Honey Elevates TRIBRID Results

At Honey, we’ve refined HALO® TRIBRID™ into a signature protocol designed to maximize clarity, collagen, and recovery. Depending on your goals and skin health, your provider may enhance your treatment with one or more advanced pairings:

  • BBL™ HEROic Light
    Used before or layered with TRIBRID to clear background redness and brown pigment, preparing the skin for deeper resurfacing and creating a brighter, more even canvas.
  • ClearSilk®
    A gentle vascular treatment that calms redness, improves circulation, and primes the skin for more uniform energy absorption—often performed immediately before TRIBRID for enhanced tone refinement.
  • Topical Regenerative Add-Ons
    • Omni Bioceutical Core Recovery (HPL growth factors): supports faster healing, reduces inflammation, and improves epidermal repair.
    • Ariessence Exosome Therapy: applied post-laser to accelerate recovery, amplify collagen stimulation, and elevate overall radiance.
  • Injectable Regenerative Support
    PRF or Exosomes may be recommended in the weeks following treatment to deepen collagen rebuilding and support long-term skin quality.
  • Smart Aging Maintenance
    Your provider may incorporate BBL, ClearSilk, SkinTox, or medical-grade facials throughout the year to keep results clear, smooth, and consistently refined.

Every TRIBRID plan at Honey is mapped through your personalized Smart Aging Plan to ensure the safest, most strategic, and most transformative long-term outcome.

Award‑Winning HALO® TRIBRID™ Provider in Arlington & the DMV

First in Arlington & the DMV to offer HALO TRIBRID

Honey Skincare Studio introduced HALO TRIBRID to the DMV and remains Arlington’s first destination for Sciton’s triple‑wavelength resurfacing. Backed by Sciton recognition and ongoing training with national clinical educators, our team performs Sciton laser resurfacing every day—customizing for all skin tones (I–VI), multiple treatment areas, and clear, predictable downtime windows.

Certificate of achievement awarded to Honey Skincare Studio for excellence in Moxi laser treatments in Arlington, recognizing top performance and outstanding client care.

Who is a Good Candidate?

If you’re looking to correct texture, tone, pores, and scars with one sophisticated treatment, HALO® TRIBRID™ may be a great fit. We design protocols for Fitzpatrick I–VI and multiple areas (face, neck, chest), then personalize energy and coverage to your goals.

Pre‑treatment is required for corrective level sessions (8 weeks). At Honey, we mandate 8 weeks of medical‑grade pre‑conditioning to support healthy turnover, barrier strength, antioxidant protection, and balanced pigment—especially for medium‑to‑deeper skin tones. This step helps improve outcomes and reduce PIH risk so your skin is at its best going into a bigger laser day. (You’ll receive simple, step‑by‑step guidance during your consultation.)

HALO TRIBRID vs. Other Lasers

  • MOXI® – a gentle 1927 nm “pre‑juvenation” laser for low‑downtime tone/texture maintenance.
  • HALO® (hybrid) – dual‑wavelength (1470 + 2940) resurfacing for visible texture and tone change.
  • CoolPeel® / Tetra CO₂ – CO₂ resurfacing for advanced texture and etched lines with more downtime.
  • PicoSure® Pro – picosecond 532/755 nm for targeted pigment and complexion clarity.

HALO® TRIBRID™ stands apart by uniting brightening, resurfacing, and dermal renewal in a single pass—saving time and consolidating recovery while elevating results.

HALO TRIBRID FAQs

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Many clients see meaningful change after one TRIBRID treatment; others choose a series depending on goals and starting skin. We’ll map the best plan during your consult.

Is It Safe for My Skin Tone?

Yes—when properly customized. TRIBRID is designed to be tuned for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I–VI) with thoughtful protocols.

When Will I See Results?

You’ll notice a quick improvement in clarity and smoothness, then ongoing benefits as collagen remodels in the weeks to months that follow.

Does It Help Acne Scars and Pores?

Yes—surface resurfacing (2940) plus dermal heating (1470) smooths texture and supports collagen for more refined skin quality, while 1927 helps even tone.

Do I Need to Prep Before Treatment?

For corrective‑level sessions, yes—Honey requires 8 weeks of medical‑grade pre‑conditioning to optimize safety and results. We’ll give you a simple, personalized plan during your consultation.

What Does the Recovery Look Like?

Expect warmth, redness, and swelling immediately after, followed by a sandpaper-like texture as your MENDs (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) lift away. Most clients feel socially comfortable around days 4–7, with deeper remodeling continuing behind the scenes for months.

Is the Treatment Painful?

Clients describe TRIBRID as intense but very manageable with our medical-grade numbing and cooling techniques. Because TRIBRID resurfaces multiple layers in one session, the sensations vary throughout—but we walk you through every step to ensure you feel supported.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Collagen stimulation and dermal remodeling continue for 6–12 months. Many clients maintain results with one annual TRIBRID or alternate with BBL/Moxi for year-round skin health.

What Makes Tribrid Different From Halo or Moxi Alone?

TRIBRID delivers three wavelengths in one session—a resurfacing ablative wavelength, a non-ablative fractional wavelength, and a nano-fractional wavelength for tone. This lets us treat the epidermis and dermis at the same time, achieving brighter, tighter, clearer, and more youthful skin with fewer overall sessions.

Can Tribrid Treat the Neck, Chest, or Other Areas?

Yes. TRIBRID is excellent for the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands—anywhere you want to improve texture, sun damage, crepiness, or overall skin quality. Some areas may require modified settings for safe energy delivery.

Are the Results Natural-Looking?

Absolutely. Because TRIBRID is a collagen-building laser—not a filler—the improvements appear gradually and blend seamlessly with your natural features.

Is TRIBRID Safe for Melasma?

TRIBRID is not a first-line treatment for melasma due to the risk of pigment rebound with heat-based technologies. During your consult, we’ll determine if your pigment is melasma or sun-related, and steer you toward the safest corrective pathway.

Who is NOT a Candidate?

You may not be eligible if you:

  • are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • have taken isotretinoin within the last 6–12 months
  • have active cold sores, infection, or dermatitis in the area
  • are prone to severe post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • are unable to complete the required 8-week skincare prep
  • have recent sun exposure or cannot avoid sun post-treatment

We’ll review all medical considerations during your consultation.

Can I Wear Makeup After Treatment?

Makeup can typically be worn once the skin has re-epithelialized—usually around days 5–7. We’ll guide you based on how quickly your skin closes.

Will I Need Antiviral Medication?

Yes—because TRIBRID uses deeper resurfacing wavelengths, we prescribe antiviral medication for all patients, even those without a history of cold sores. This ensures safe healing and reduces the risk of HSV activation.

How Soon Can I Return to Workouts or Heat?

Avoid strenuous exercise 5-7 days, hot yoga, saunas, and steam for 10 days or until redness and heat sensations have fully resolved. Excess heat can prolong inflammation and interfere with optimal healing.

Why is Pre-conditioning Mandatory at Honey?

Because combination resurfacing targets multiple layers at once, the skin must be:

  • stable
  • hydrated
  • pigment-regulated
  • and supported at the cellular level

Our 8-week program reduces risks like PIH and maximizes collagen stimulation so you get the highest-level results with the safest possible treatment.
