The theme song
Dolly said it first and said it best. Three minutes and forty-eight seconds of the whole September philosophy — turn it up while you pick your package.


Side A / Side B
BBL is broadband light. It goes after color — the brown spots, the ruddy flush across the cheeks, the freckling that showed up after too many lake summers. It's the track that clears the noise.
Moxi is a gentle fractional laser. It goes after quality — texture, tone, dullness, the early lines. It's the track that makes everything sound polished.
Run them together and you get what people mean when they say someone looks lit from inside. Victoria builds the settings around your skin, not around a poster.

Proof in the pink
These are my actual results after Sculptra BBL Heroic + Moxi
Same lighting, same face, different tissue — because the right depth and the right settings make the laser shine.

My right side before treatment, mirrored beside the same right side exactly one week later, so it's an apples-to-apples comparison. Sculptra placed at the right depth lifted the mid-cheek shadow, BBL Heroic pulled out brown spots and redness along the cheek and jaw, and Moxi smoothed the crepey texture under the eye and around the nasolabial fold.
Day 0 vs. day 7 · Sculptra · Dr. Petro · BBL Heroic + Moxi · Victoria
Why this matters
Tissue changes immediately during a laser treatment. An experienced technician sees that change and adjusts the settings on the spot — not from a chart, from your face. Victoria has been doing BBL for ten years. Dr. Petro places Sculptra at the depth that builds collagen, not volume you don't want. That combination is what lets the result look like you, just lit better.
Better get to livin'
“You better stop whining, pining — get your dreams in line, and then just shine, design, refine until they come true.”
We all have one — me too. The woman, the mirror, the old story. The first decision is yours: stop spinning sad tales and start healing.
This isn't about looking like someone else. It's about getting past the reflection that doesn't feel like you.
I meet you where you are, map a plan that fits your actual face, and I walk with you until the outside matches the inside.
Don't waste one moment of this life standing in bad bathroom light. Book the consult. Take the step. Shine.
September 1 – 30 · Laser Days
All September: book any face treatment with Victoria and the neck is on us — because nothing gives you away like a glowing face on a forgotten neck. Book in September, treat into October, the deal holds.
BROAD BAND LIGHT (BBL)
Full-face BBL, and the neck rides free. Stop spinning sad tales about brown spots and redness and start healing. Color, cleared.
Moxi · Shine, design, refine
Full-face Moxi, neck included. Texture, tone, and that early-light glow — get your dreams in line and refine them until they come true.
Both · The peak experience
BBL and Moxi in the same visit — face and neck, top to bottom. Color and texture in one afternoon. The one that makes people ask what you did.
How the day runs
Victoria looks at your skin under real light and sorts what's color from what's texture. You'll hear which one is actually bothering you.
Topical for Moxi, cold plate for BBL. Fifteen quiet minutes while it sets in.
BBL first, Moxi second. Twenty to forty minutes total depending on what we're covering.
A week of coffee-ground flaking, then the reveal. Written aftercare and a check-in built into the price.
The house rule
Nobody here is competing with the woman across the counter. Getting dolled up isn't a takedown, and it isn't vanity — it's the same instinct as putting your face on before you leave the house. It just lasts longer.
We won't sell you a face you didn't ask for. Dr. Petro's rule has never changed: assess first, price second, and say so plainly when the honest answer is “less than you thought.”
Then get on with it. The day we're born we start to die — don't waste one minute of this life standing in bad bathroom lighting.

Before your visit
Aftercare
PRX Glow is a treatment with PRX-T33, a topical formula developed in Italy by WiQo that blends TCA with hydrogen peroxide and kojic acid. It's massaged into the skin rather than injected, and it's designed to stimulate collagen and brighten tone without the peeling and downtime of a traditional chemical peel.
It's a no-peel treatment. Skin usually looks pink and feels tight for a few hours, and some people notice mild flaking or dryness over the following days. Most people go back to work, errands and makeup the same day or the next.
People who want brighter, firmer, better-quality skin without recovery time. Because it's needle-free and works on all skin tones and types, it also suits anyone who has been told a laser is not the right fit for their skin right now. It can be used year round, including through the summer.
Your skin is cleansed, then the solution is massaged in for several minutes in layers. Expect warmth and a tingling or stinging sensation that settles quickly once the massage is finished. Plan on roughly thirty minutes in the room.
PRX is usually done as a short series spaced about a week apart, then maintained every few months. Victoria and Dr. Petro will map the number that fits your skin at your visit rather than selling you a set package sight unseen.
Keep it simple for the first few days: a gentle cleanser, generous moisturizer, and daily broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. Skip retinoids, acids, scrubs and waxing for about five days, and avoid heavy sweating, hot tubs, saunas and direct sun for the first twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Don't pick at any flaking.
Often yes, but timing matters around BBL, Moxi, Halo and injectables. We sequence it for you rather than guessing — bring your current plan to the consultation and we'll build the order.
Book a consultation first if you're pregnant or nursing, have active acne, eczema, rosacea flares, cold sores, open or irritated skin, a known sensitivity to salicylates or peel ingredients, recent isotretinoin use, or if you're planning other treatments or an event soon. If anything about your skin concerns you, a consultation with Dr. Petro is the right first step.
This page is general information, not medical advice. If you’re pregnant or nursing, on isotretinoin, managing a skin condition, or simply unsure, book a consultation with Dr. Petro before booking the treatment. Call 205-824-6334 and we’ll sort it out with you.

Before you book
BBL is light — it goes after color: brown spots, redness, the freckling that showed up after one too many lake summers. Moxi is a gentle fractional laser — it goes after texture and tone: fine lines, dullness, early sun damage. Color and quality. Together they do what neither does alone.
During September Laser Days, when you purchase a full-face BBL ($450) or Moxi ($700), your neck treatment is included at no extra charge. Face and neck normally run separately; this special treats them as one. Because your neck deserves the same glow your face gets.
You'll look like you slept, drank water, and moved somewhere with better weather. That's the point of this pair — it doesn't change your face, it changes your skin.
Moxi gives you a couple of sandpapery days — think windburn that fades. BBL brings brown spots darker to the surface for about a week before they flake away. Most people work straight through it with a little makeup by day three. Sculptra has no downtime; you can go right back to living. Botox has no real downtime either — just small red dots that fade within an hour.
BBL feels like a rubber band snap with a cold plate behind it. Moxi is warm and prickly and takes about fifteen minutes. We numb you first for Moxi, and nobody has ever needed to be talked down from either.
BBL color correction shows up in about a week as spots rise and flake. Moxi texture glow keeps building for six to twelve weeks. Sculptra is the long game — you'll notice subtle lift and firmness around six weeks, with peak results at three to four months. Botox softens in three to five days with the full result around two weeks. Good things take time, but they're worth it.
Dr. Melanie Petro is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon who oversees every treatment plan. Victoria, our master esthetician, has been performing BBL for ten years and is trained by the very best. Together they adjust your settings in real time so the laser works for your exact skin. Botox plans are mapped by Dr. Petro personally.
