HALO® TRIBRID™ laser skin resurfacing is designed to improve overall skin quality by targeting concerns like sun damage, fine lines, uneven tone, and texture irregularities. By combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, it works both on the surface and deeper within the skin to stimulate collagen and support gradual renewal. At Lycia Thornburg, MD Dermatology, treatments are customized to your skin’s condition and goals, helping create smoother, clearer, and more even-looking skin with results that develop naturally over time.
Rebuild Stronger, More
Even Skin
Laser skin resurfacing is a physician-guided treatment that uses controlled energy to renew the skin at multiple levels. With HALO TRIBRID, we combine ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to gently remove damaged surface cells while stimulating collagen deeper within the skin. This dual approach allows us to improve tone, texture, and clarity in a precise, customizable way. By activating your skin’s healing response, we help restore healthier, stronger skin over time, enhancing what’s already yours rather than changing who you are.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Treats:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage and photoaging
- Uneven skin tone and discoloration
- Age spots and pigmentation irregularities
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Enlarged or visible pores
- Dull, tired-looking skin
- Acne scars and post-acne marks
- Surgical and traumatic scars
- Loss of firmness and elasticity
Treat Severe Scarring With HALO TRIBRID
HALO TRIBRID can also be used in a medical context to improve the appearance of severe acne scars, as well as surgical or traumatic scars. It works by delivering controlled energy into the skin, which helps break up dense, irregular scar tissue while stimulating collagen production where the skin needs support. Over time, this process gradually helps soften raised areas, fill in depressed scars, and create a more even texture. Rather than masking the problem, we guide your skin to rebuild itself in a healthier, more balanced way.

Thornburg MD Dermatology
Overview
Your experience begins with a thoughtful consultation, during which our providers take the time to understand your skin, your goals, and how you want to feel. We evaluate tone, texture, sun damage, and any scarring, then curate a treatment plan using HALO TRIBRID that aligns with your skin’s biology. Every decision is intentional, grounded in science, and carefully curated to enhance what’s naturally yours while supporting long-term skin health.
Treatment
Your skin is cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied to keep you comfortable. Using HALO TRIBRID, our providers pass the handpiece evenly across the treatment area to deliver precise pulses of energy. The ablative wavelength targets damaged surface cells, while the non-ablative energy penetrates deeper to stimulate collagen production. Built-in cooling helps protect the skin and maintain comfort, while treatment density is carefully adjusted as needed.
Recovery
After treatment, your skin will feel warm, similar to a sunburn, with redness and mild swelling for one to three days. By days two to five, you may notice bronzing and light flaking as damaged skin sheds. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days, with makeup typically resumed after 24 to 48 hours. Our providers will guide you on gentle skincare, strict sun protection, and hydration to support healing and protect your results.
Results
You’ll begin to notice brighter, smoother skin within the first week as the surface renews. Over the following two to three months, collagen production continues to improve firmness, texture, and tone. While some patients achieve meaningful results after a single session, a series of sessions may be recommended for deeper concerns. The results are long-lasting with proper care, and maintenance treatments can help you continue building more resilient skin.
