At Wink Medical Aesthetics, the Forever Young Annual Skin Programs are designed for patients throughout Austin, Lakeway, Bee Cave, and the greater Austin TX area who want more than one-time treatments or short-lived results.

This is not a monthly special.

Forever Young is a science-based, long-term skin health strategy built around consistency — using advanced laser technology to support healthier skin function, year after year.

Advanced BBL, MOXI & HALO Laser Treatments
at Wink Medical Aesthetics

The Forever Young Annual Skin Programs at Wink Medical Aesthetics use a strategic combination of BBL, MOXI, and HALO laser technology to improve skin tone, texture, and collagen while supporting healthier skin behavior over time.

Unlike isolated laser sessions, Forever Young is built around consistency. Research shows that regular BBL treatments help maintain improvements and support ongoing skin health — which is why BBL serves as the foundation of every program.

Many patients pair Forever Young with other aesthetic services such as injectables, BOTOX®, chemical peels, wellness treatments, and body contouring to support comprehensive facial rejuvenation and overall well-being.

How Does BBL Help Aging Skin?

BroadBand Light (BBL) treatments are supported by published academic research showing that BBL can influence the expression of genes associated with skin aging. In clinical studies, treated skin has demonstrated gene expression patterns more commonly associated with younger skin.1

In practical terms, this means BBL does more than improve visible concerns like sun damage and redness. It supports healthier skin behavior at a biological level.

Because these effects are best maintained with regular treatments, consistency is key. That’s why Forever Young programs include multiple BBL sessions spaced throughout the year rather than relying on one-time correction.

The Stanford Study Behind Forever Young BBL

In a landmark study conducted by researchers affiliated with Stanford University School of Medicine, BroadBand Light (BBL) treatments were shown to influence the expression of genes associated with skin aging.2

In the study, patients who received regular BBL treatments over time demonstrated gene expression patterns in treated skin that more closely resembled those found in younger individuals.

In simple terms, BBL didn’t just improve the appearance of aging skin — it appeared to encourage skin to behave more like younger skin at a molecular level.

This research is one of the reasons consistency is the foundation of the Forever Young programs at Wink. The benefits observed in the study were associated with repeated, ongoing treatments — not a single session.

While individual results vary, the Stanford research supports what we see clinically: skin treated regularly with BBL maintains healthier tone, clarity, and function over time.

What Do BBL, MOXI, and HALO Actually Do?

Each laser in the Forever Young programs targets different layers of the skin, which allows concerns to be addressed more comprehensively.

BBL uses targeted light energy to treat pigmentation, redness, and sun damage while supporting collagen stimulation and overall skin clarity.

MOXI is a non-ablative fractional laser that creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve texture, pores, and early signs of aging.

HALO is a hybrid fractional laser that treats both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, making it ideal for correcting wrinkles, sun damage, and texture irregularities.

Together, these technologies allow for a balanced approach that supports both prevention and correction.

What to Expect
During Your Forever Young Treatments

What to Expect
During Your Forever Young Treatments

Forever Young treatments are designed to be efficient and well tolerated, with each session building on the last.

During BBL Treatments

BBL treatments typically take 20–30 minutes. Patients often describe the sensation as brief warmth or light snapping on the skin. Mild redness may appear immediately afterward and usually resolves within a few hours.

During MOXI Treatments

MOXI treatments include topical numbing beforehand for comfort. Most patients experience mild to moderate warmth during treatment.

At Wink, your comfort is just as important to us as your results. While MOXI is considered a gentle, non-ablative laser, it is still a medical treatment performed within a medically supervised practice.

We thoughtfully prepare you before treatment and guide you through recovery to support the best possible experience. For some patients, preventative or comfort medications may be prescribed when clinically appropriate to help minimize post-treatment sensitivity.

Even with lighter laser treatments, you’re never navigating recovery alone at Wink.

During HALO Treatments

HALO treatments include topical numbing beforehand and treat both surface and deeper layers of the skin. Because HALO penetrates more deeply, patients may experience a stronger warming sensation during the procedure.

At Wink, your comfort is just as important to us as your results. Because HALO is a medical laser treatment, we’re able to prescribe medications when clinically appropriate to support a smooth and comfortable experience.*

We don’t simply perform your laser treatment and send you home — we thoughtfully prepare you beforehand and guide you through recovery. From preventative measures to personalized aftercare instructions, every step is designed with your comfort and safety in mind.

You’re never navigating recovery alone at Wink.

How to Prepare for Your Treatment

How to Prepare for Your Treatment

Preparing properly helps support results and reduce irritation.

Patients are generally advised to:

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning before treatment
  • Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
  • Pause retinoids, exfoliants, and active skincare products several days prior
  • Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup and skincare products

Your provider will review personalized pre-treatment instructions during your consultation.

Recovery & Aftercare

Downtime depends on the treatments included in your program.

BBL typically involves little to no downtime.
MOXI may cause mild redness and texture changes for 1–3 days.
HALO may result in redness, swelling, and flaking for 1–5 days as the skin renews.

After treatment, patients are advised to:

  • Protect the skin from sun exposure
  • Follow the recommended skincare routine
  • Avoid picking or exfoliating treated skin
  • Stay hydrated and allow the skin to heal naturally

Forever Young programs include recovery products selected to support healing and protect results.

FAQs

Does BBL really reverse skin aging?

Research suggests BBL can influence genes associated with skin aging, supporting healthier skin behavior over time. Results vary between individuals.

What did Stanford research say about BBL?

Stanford-affiliated research published in a peer-reviewed dermatology journal found that patients receiving regular BBL treatments showed gene expression patterns more similar to younger skin. The study suggested that ongoing BBL treatments may help support long-term skin health at a molecular level, in addition to improving visible concerns like pigmentation and redness.

Results vary between individuals, and consistency is key.3

How often should you do BBL treatments?

Most patients benefit from multiple treatments per year. Forever Young programs include four BBL sessions annually.

What’s the difference between MOXI and HALO?

MOXI is a preventative laser for early aging and maintenance. HALO is a corrective laser designed for deeper wrinkles and sun damage.

Is HALO better than MOXI for wrinkles?

HALO is generally recommended for moderate to advanced wrinkles, while MOXI is ideal for early intervention.

How long do BBL results last?

Results are best maintained with ongoing treatments and proper sun protection.

Is BBL preventative or corrective?

BBL can be both. It treats existing damage while also supporting preventative skin health when performed consistently.
