Why Choose Hourglass Aesthetics & Wellness?

Conveniently located in the heart of Lexington, you will feel what makes Hourglass Aesthetics & Wellness special the minute you walk in the door. From the natural light and warm design, curated playlist, and coffee bar, we’ve thought about our clients every step of the way. Our goal is to provide the best treatment experience in a warm, relaxing environment.

How Laser Treatments Work for Skin Revitalization

Our laser treatments rejuvenate and revitalize the skin using advanced technology to penetrate and heat multiple layers of the skin safely. This thermal energy stimulates the body’s natural healing response, prompting the production of new skin cells and boosting collagen and elastin levels.

This process replaces old, damaged skin cells with fresher, more vibrant skin. In addition, increased collagen production improves skin tone, softens signs of aging, and reduces the appearance of acne scars.

Laser resurfacing also targets sun damage, such as brown spots, freckles, and pigmentation irregularities caused by excess melanin buildup. The treatment heats and breaks down melanin clusters using precision lasers, allowing the body to absorb the fragmented pigment naturally.

Over time, sun damage fades, and in some cases, disappears entirely, leaving the skin looking clearer and rejuvenated.

Advanced Laser Technology at Hourglass Aesthetics & Wellness

At Hourglass Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer a curated collection of industry-leading laser and energy-based treatments designed to address everything from acne and pigmentation to wrinkles, skin laxity, and overall skin rejuvenation.

Featured Platform: Sciton JOULE X®

The Sciton JOULE X is our premier multi-application laser and light platform, combining multiple technologies into one advanced system. This versatile platform allows us to customize treatments for a wide range of concerns, including:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Sun damage and pigmentation
Redness and vascular concerns
Active acne and acne scarring
Uneven skin tone and texture
Enlarged pores
Skin rejuvenation and maintenance

Using the Sciton JOULE X platform, we offer the following treatments:

Best for:

BBL HEROic®

This next-generation Broadband Light treatment delivers fast, powerful skin rejuvenation to improve multiple concerns across larger treatment areas.

Best for:

Additional Laser & Energy-Based Treatments

In addition to our Sciton JOULE X offerings, we provide other advanced technologies to further customize your treatment plan.

DEKA SmartXide Tetra CO2 Laser

The DEKA SmartXide Tetra is an advanced CO2 resurfacing platform that delivers highly customizable skin rejuvenation treatments, ranging from light refreshers to deeper resurfacing.

Best for:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Sun damage
Age spots
Acne scars
Enlarged pores
Uneven tone and texture
Skin crepiness

CoolPeel®

CoolPeel is a low-downtime treatment performed using the DEKA SmartXide Tetra CO2 laser. It refreshes the skin with precise CO2 energy while minimizing recovery time.

Best for:

Laser Genesis

Laser Genesis is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that stimulates collagen production while reducing redness and improving overall skin quality.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is an advanced skin remodeling treatment that combines microneedling with fractional radiofrequency (RF) energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin from within. Unlike traditional microneedling, Morpheus8 delivers RF energy deep into the dermis and underlying tissue, helping remodel collagen, improve skin quality, and address mild to moderate skin laxity.

Because it targets both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, Morpheus8 can deliver noticeable improvements in skin texture, firmness, and contour with minimal downtime.

Morpheus8 is a versatile treatment that can be used on the face, neck, and body to address a wide range of concerns, including:

Best for:

Mild to moderate skin laxity
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and other textural irregularities
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin tone and texture
Crepey skin
Jawline definition and jowls
Submental fullness beneath the chin
Stretch marks
Body contouring concerns

Most patients benefit from a series of treatments, with results developing gradually as new collagen and elastin are produced over time. Because Morpheus8 works beneath the skin’s surface, improvements continue to evolve for several months after treatment, revealing firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

Morpheus8 pairs exceptionally well with laser and light-based treatments, allowing our providers to create personalized treatment plans that address multiple concerns for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

MOXI®

A gentle, non-ablative fractional laser designed to refresh and maintain healthy skin. MOXI helps prevent and correct early signs of aging with little downtime, making it an ideal treatment for all skin types and year-round skin rejuvenation.

Best for:

Early signs of aging
Uneven skin tone
Sun damage and pigmentation
Melasma maintenance
Fine lines
Dull, tired-looking skin
Preventative skin rejuvenation

Patient photos can help you envision how your own treatment results might look. However, it’s essential to remember that no two people respond identically to aesthetic treatments.

*results may vary

Laser Treatment Aftercare

Following proper aftercare instructions post-laser treatment is crucial for your results and skin health. Our providers suggest the following for common skin concerns after treatment:

For Swelling and Redness

It’s normal for your skin to be red and swollen for the first few days after laser resurfacing. These side effects are part of the healing process and typically resolve on their own. Most people find that their skin heals within a week, while redness can take two to six months to fade fully, depending on the individual and the type of laser used. Contact us if swelling or redness doesn’t improve after a few days.

For Pain Management

Some discomfort is common once the anesthetic wears off, but note that severe pain is not normal. Over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen can help ease any discomfort. Always follow the instructions on the medication label and consult a pharmacist if needed. To reduce swelling, keep your head elevated on pillows at night and apply a cold compress wrapped in a towel; never place ice directly on your skin.

For Caring for Healing Skin

We may recommend washing your face gently with a special cleanser a few days after the procedure, typically two or three times daily. Moisturizing is important to keep your skin clean, hydrated, and supple. Ask us which skincare products are suitable for your healing skin. Additionally, a course of antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent infection.

For Sun Protection

Avoid sun exposure until redness has completely faded, as the skin is more susceptible to dark patches, particularly in olive, brown, or black skin tones. Once your skin has healed, apply sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 and UVA/UVB protection whenever you go outside. This is essential for at least a year following laser resurfacing to protect your skin and maintain your results.

Hourglass Takes a Layered Approach

Hourglass takes a strategic, layered approach to laser treatments, because no single device can address every level of the skin. By combining advanced technologies, we’re able to treat surface concerns, deeper texture issues, and collagen loss all at once for more comprehensive, noticeable results.

How Laser Layering Works

Each laser targets a different depth of the skin, allowing us to build a customized treatment plan that delivers smoother, clearer, and tighter-looking skin.

BBL / BBL HERO / HEROic (Surface-Level Treatment)

BroadBand Light (BBL) targets the outermost layers of the skin to improve tone, redness, pigmentation, and sun damage. It can be used on both the face and body, making it a versatile option for overall skin correction.

BBL HERO is the next-generation evolution of traditional BBL; designed to treat larger areas faster and more comfortably, making it ideal for patients who want efficient, full-area rejuvenation.

MOXI (Mid-Depth Resurfacing)

MOXI is a fractional, non-ablative laser that works below the surface to improve early signs of aging, uneven texture, and mild pigmentation. It’s a go-to option for maintaining healthy skin and is often combined with BBL or HALO for enhanced results.

HALO (Deep Resurfacing & Collagen Stimulation)

HALO is the deepest and most intensive treatment of the trio. This hybrid fractional laser targets deeper layers of the skin to stimulate significant collagen production, improve skin laxity, and refine texture. It’s ideal for patients looking for more dramatic skin tightening and rejuvenation.

Why We Combine These Treatments

By layering these technologies, we’re able to treat the skin at every level, from the surface to deeper structural layers. This approach allows for:

Instead of relying on a single treatment, this method creates a more complete transformation by addressing multiple concerns at once.

Enhance Your Comfort with PRONOX (Nitrous Oxide)

We understand that comfort is a top priority, especially if you are new to laser treatments or feeling a bit anxious. That is why Hourglass Aesthetics & Wellness offers PRONOX, a safe and effective option to help you feel more relaxed throughout your treatment.

PRONOX is a patient-controlled system that delivers a blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen, helping to reduce discomfort and ease anxiety in real time.

Benefits of PRONOX during your treatment:

Helps you feel calm, relaxed, and more at ease
Reduces sensitivity and discomfort during laser treatments
Fast-acting and wears off quickly once treatment is complete
You remain fully awake and in control the entire time
No downtime, so you can safely drive yourself home after your appointment

PRONOX is completely optional, but many patients choose it to make their experience more comfortable and stress-free. If you are concerned about discomfort or simply want a more relaxed treatment experience, our team can walk you through whether PRONOX is right for you.

What to Expect During Laser Treatments

Laser skin revitalization is typically performed in-office using local anesthesia combined with oral or intravenous sedatives for comfort. The treatment is highly customizable, meaning your provider can focus on precise problem areas or perform a more comprehensive rejuvenation. Depending on your needs, individual areas such as fine lines around the eyes, wrinkles near the mouth, or creases across the forehead can be targeted, or a full-face laser resurfacing may be performed for more dramatic improvement.

During the Procedure

During the procedure, advanced laser technology delivers controlled energy into the skin’s surface layers. This process gently removes damaged or aged skin cells while stimulating the growth of new collagen beneath the surface. By encouraging the body’s natural healing response, the treatment smooths texture, evens skin tone, and softens visible lines. The intensity of the laser can be adjusted based on your unique skin type, concerns, and downtime tolerance.

The treatment area is numbed with a local anesthetic. General anesthesia may be used for full-face treatments.
A partial-face laser treatment takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes, while full-face resurfacing requires about 1.5 to 2 hours.
The treated area will be thoroughly cleaned before the procedure begins.

After the Procedure

Recovery time varies depending on whether you undergo a spot treatment or full-face resurfacing. Most patients experience some redness, swelling, and a sensation similar to a sunburn immediately after the procedure. As the skin begins to heal, you may notice mild peeling or flaking, which reveals fresher, healthier layers beneath.

A nonstick dressing is applied to the treated area for the first 24 hours.
Afterwards, the treated area should be cleaned two to five times daily using saline or a diluted vinegar solution (following specific instructions from your doctor).
To prevent scab formations and to keep the skin hydrated, an ointment like Vaseline® or moisturizing creams such as Eucerin® or Aquaphor® should be applied.

Laser Treatment Areas and Applications

Laser treatments are highly versatile, making them an effective option for addressing a wide range of cosmetic and skin health concerns across multiple areas of the face and body. By delivering focused light energy into targeted layers of the skin, laser technology can improve tone, texture, pigmentation, and overall skin quality with precision and control. Treatment areas and applications are customized based on individual goals, skin type, and the specific laser modality used.

Most laser skin revitalization treatments target and treat the same problematic areas, including:

Facial treatment areas

Facial treatment areas are among the most common applications for laser therapy. Lasers can be used on the forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, jawline, and around the mouth to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, redness, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone. Delicate areas such as the under-eyes and crow’s feet can also be treated with specialized settings designed to stimulate collagen while protecting thinner skin. Many patients choose facial laser treatments to achieve brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin without surgery.

Neck and décolletage treatments

Neck and décolletage treatments are another popular application. These areas often show early signs of aging due to sun exposure and thinner skin. Laser treatments can help improve crepey texture, fine lines, discoloration, and loss of firmness in the neck and chest, creating a smoother and more even appearance that better matches the face.

Body laser treatments

Lasers can be applied to areas such as the arms, hands, abdomen, thighs, knees, and back to address concerns including sun spots, pigmentation, uneven texture, acne scarring, stretch marks, and mild skin laxity. For patients with rough or damaged skin on areas like the hands or elbows, laser resurfacing can significantly improve smoothness and tone.

Vascular and pigment treatments

Vascular and pigment treatments are ideal for patients dealing with redness, broken capillaries, rosacea, age spots, freckles, and sun damage. Lasers can selectively target excess pigment or visible blood vessels without harming surrounding skin, resulting in a clearer and more even complexion over a series of treatments.

Acne and acne scar treatments

Acne and acne scar treatments are another important application. Certain lasers help reduce active acne by targeting bacteria and inflammation, while others stimulate collagen production to soften the appearance of acne scars over time. These treatments can be used on the face, chest, shoulders, and back.

Because laser technology can be adjusted for depth, intensity, and wavelength, treatments are highly customizable. This allows providers to safely treat different skin tones and concerns while tailoring results to each patient. Whether the goal is rejuvenation, correction, or maintenance, laser treatments offer flexible solutions for improving skin health and appearance across many areas of the body.

Our laser devices can also treat a wide range of skin concerns, including, but not limited to:

Skin discoloration
Sun damage
Uneven skin tones
Enlarged pores
Fine lines, wrinkles
Acne
Scarring
Dull skin texture
Dark spots and age signs
