Does BBL laser and Halo offer any benefits for good skin with no issues?

Question

I am 24 years old with relatively good skin - no fine lines, dryness, dark spots, or pigmentation issues. I sometimes have the occasional pimple around that time of month, but they’re very mild and typically go away in a few days. Will I benefit from BBL Laser/HALO Laser? Or will it just be a waste of money?

HALO is an amazing anti-aging treatment, especially when combined with BBL.  However, with the description of your skin, you would really benefit from Forever Young BBL.  Think if it as pre-juvenation.
Studies done with Stanford University show that routine Forever Young BBL (2-3 times a year) actually slows down the aging process. In fact it allows the genes that are responsible for aging to continue to "behave" younger, thereby keeping the skin looking better year after year.  It is never too early to invest in your skin.

I do BBL/halo + morpheus PRP every 3-4 months on my face and neck. this keeps your skin healthy, young, and preventative for skincancer. I do peels like aerify monthly and cosmelan or enlighten every 3 months between my lasers right before or after. all to stay young and healthy looking.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules weekly, see linkt) should be started now to prevent further aging.

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.

Great question! Based on the research, doing BBL at least 2 times a year slows down skin aging - even in young healthy skin. If you want to do the best things you can invest in at your age, I would recommend a daily physical sunscreen and BBL. There is less long term research on Halo, so if your budget allows, you may consider doing those occasionally, but the BBL is absolutely worthwhile - far more so than spending a lot on fancy creams and facials.
