David Stephens, MD, Aesthetics:
State of the Art Skin Rejuvenation in Bellevue, WA
At David Stephens, MD, Aesthetics, we understand that our patients want to look their best with trusted, safe, and effective technologies. Used appropriately by skilled practitioners, minimally invasive and non-invasive devices can reverse the effects of aging skin, such as fine and deeper lines, brown spots, and ruddiness, caused by environmental damage that accelerates skin aging, by rejuvenating your skin. With regular use in treatment protocols, they can maintain these improvements and even reverse the effects of aging, making skin look younger over time. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers, fat transfer, and new fat stimulators such as Renuva better define facial contours, improve your facial balance, and restore youthful skin with minimal downtime and natural-looking results. These innovative treatments and technologies enable patients to maintain or enhance their appearance through bespoke, customized programs.

The Sciton Triad: BBL HERO, HALO, and MOXI:
Forever Young BBL®
Forever Young BBL® is one of our most popular non-invasive skin care treatments with minimal to no downtime. It uses broadband light (BBL) energy to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. It targets the skin by correcting the effects of sun damage, pigmentation, redness, and vascularity to help achieve clearer skin. Over time, with regular applications (four treatments per year), it stimulates collagen and elastin production, reversing the effects of aging for long-term skin health. This gentle, light-based, non-invasive treatment reduces signs of aging, offers noticeable rejuvenation, and provides a fresh glow that is well-tolerated, subtle, and extremely effective.
HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser
The HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser by Sciton® precisely targets both the skin’s surface and deeper layers at once to correct deeper discoloration, fine lines, and uneven skin texture. This minimally invasive treatment offers fast recovery and impressive improvement in skin texture. It combines two laser wavelengths (ablative and non-ablative) delivered through small holes in the skin’s surface, providing more comprehensive renewal with minimal downtime, especially compared with deep skin resurfacing. Your skin immediately feels and looks smoother, more radiant, and luminous. Regular use works synergistically with the HERO and MOXI to further the effects of both treatments. Individual use can improve skin lines, reduce pore size, and even skin texture, while reducing brown spots and discoloration.
BBL® HERO™
This advanced photofacial treatment uses broadband light (BBL) delivered by a high-speed computerized application system, providing coverage previously unavailable for BBL treatments to the face. It reduces the effects of skin aging and sun damage. It rejuvenates the skin by targeting severe pigmentation issues caused by sun damage, including age spots, redness, and visible blood vessels. This advancement allows it to be used anywhere on the body without the risk of uncontrolled skin stripping. BBL HERO improves on previous technology by delivering faster, even, and effective treatments with less discomfort and downtime. Many of our patients choose to combine BBL® HERO with other treatments like Morpheus8 and HALO®, each targeting different aspects of skin aging for stunning, long-lasting results.
MOXI®
MOXI® is Sciton’s newest laser technology. It is purposely designed to be one of the gentler, well-tolerated laser treatments on the market for all skin types, from the fairest to the darkest skin tones. It is designed to gently treat those with more reactive skin, such as melasma. It is rapidly becoming one of our most popular lasers, designed to effectively address skin discoloration and gently improved lines in Asian, South Asian, Hispanic, and African American skin concerns. MOXI® is a non-ablative fractional laser with minimal downtime, designed to improve the skin’s appearance, stimulate collagen production, and target signs of aging. Benefits include improved skin tone and texture, softened lines and wrinkles, brighter, more even skin tone, and minimized pores. This laser is suitable for even the most sensitive skin.
The Sciton MicroLaserPeel®
MicroLaserPeel® is a minimally invasive aesthetic treatment that removes the thin, top layer of damaged skin. This gentle alternative to laser resurfacing stimulates new skin cell production and minimizes skin imperfections, revealing the fresh, smooth, healthier skin beneath. Suitable for most skin types, MicroLaserPeel® is a popular maintenance choice for refreshing a dull complexion, softening fine lines, and improving overall skin tone and texture. You can use it with other Sciton laser devices for additional correction or as a stand-alone treatment.
The Sciton Contour TRL Erbium YAG Laser: For Deep Resurfacing–The Gold Standard for Deep Facial Lines and “Lipstick” Lines
There is no better or more effective way to correct deep skin lines and facial aging than the Sciton Contour Erbium Laser. It is also a very effective treatment for deep lipstick lines. The laser’s versatility can effectively smooth skin. It has a longer recovery than other fractionated lasers as it is a completely ablative laser. This deeper level of resurfacing can soften prominent wrinkles, improve uneven skin texture and pigmentation, and reduce the appearance of scars.
“I never rush surgery – It’s not about treating as many patients as possible in a day. I always take the time and focus needed to provide the best possible end result as well as a more comfortable recovery.”

From InMode(R); Morpheus 8 ® and Embrace(R); FaceTite(R) and BodyTite(R)
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 became an instant hit amongst luminaries and actresses for its ability to use minimally invasive treatments to remodel and tighten the skin and underlying tissues. It utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy delivered to the skin using micro-needles. This treatment tightens loose skin, improves texture, and softens fine lines for a firmer, more youthful appearance. Suitable for both the face and body, Morpheus8 is safe for all skin types and can be paired with other treatments for enhanced rejuvenation.
Embrace™
This professional skin treatment removes impurities from pores, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin in a single soothing treatment. Using patented vortex-fusion technology, Hydrafacial™ delivers nourishing serums and custom infusions that leave the skin fresh, luminous, and visibly rejuvenated for days—a popular choice before weddings and special events.
SkinTyte®
This laser treatment uses infrared light to tighten and firm the skin in a quick, safe treatment suitable for all skin types. It works by heating the skin’s deeper layers, stimulating collagen production. SkinTyte® treatments treat fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin on the face, neck, and body. Treatment is comfortable and involves little to no downtime, making it an excellent option for mild to moderate skin laxity.
Injectables
Neuromodulators (BOTOX® Cosmetic)
This cosmetic injection treatment works as a therapeutic muscle relaxant to help with crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead furrows, and other facial wrinkles, as well as involuntary muscle contractions. BOTOX® Cosmetic is made up of diluted botulinum toxin A, which is a neurotoxin that blocks nerve signals. This helps overused muscles relax and minimize facial lines, creating a more youthful appearance. Botox lasts roughly three to six months.
Dermal Fillers
Cosmetic fillers help restore lost facial volume and reduce wrinkles and folds. Types of dermal fillers include Restylane®, Perlane®, JUVÉDERM®, Radiesse®, BELOTERO®, JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC injectable gel, Sculptra® Aesthetic, and Volbella® Lip Filler. Different dermal fillers treat different areas for volume rejuvenation. Filler substance and result duration vary.
