Reverse Summer Sun Damage with BBL HEROic + MOXI

As the days of sun-soaked patios, hikes, and lake swims fade into autumn, many of us notice that our skin looks a little worse for wear. Sun spots, uneven tone, redness, and fine lines are common souvenirs from summer in Vermont. While SPF is non-negotiable, even the best sunscreen can’t stop every bit of UV damage from settling into the skin. That’s where advanced treatments like BBL HEROic and MOXI come in. Together, these powerful technologies don’t just correct visible damage, they actually help stop the signs of aging at a cellular level.

Glow Aesthetics is proud to bring these innovations to Burlington, Vermont, giving our clients access to some of the most scientifically proven anti-aging tools in the world. Let’s break down why BroadBand Light (BBL) and MOXI are the gold standard for reversing summer damage and maintaining radiant, youthful skin all year long.

What is BBL HEROic?

BroadBand Light (BBL) is the most advanced form of intense pulsed light therapy (IPL). The newest generation, BBL HEROic, delivers faster, more precise pulses of light that target pigment, redness, and vascular lesions while stimulating skin renewal.

A landmark clinical study from Stanford University showed that regular BBL treatments not only improved the visible signs of aging but also changed the expression of genes associated with longevity. In other words, BBL doesn’t just make your skin look younger, it helps your skin cells act younger.

What is MOXI?

MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser that gently resurfaces the skin. It creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production and encourage new, healthy skin cell turnover. MOXI is safe for all skin types and is especially effective for:

• Early signs of sun damage
• Uneven tone and texture
• Fine lines
• Preventative anti-aging

Where BBL focuses on pigmentation and redness, MOXI works to refresh skin texture and stimulate deep collagen repair. Combined, they form an unbeatable duo for reversing sun damage and slowing down the aging process.

The Power of Three: Why 3 Treatments Per Year Keeps Skin Younger

Research has shown that just three BBL treatments per year can help stop the progression of aging at a cellular level. Pairing these sessions with MOXI enhances the results, giving you smoother, brighter, and healthier skin with a reduced risk of long-term UV damage.

Think of these treatments like dental cleanings for your skin: regular maintenance prevents bigger problems and keeps everything in top condition.
