December 11, 2025—As we close out 2025, we’re reflecting on a year shaped by big ideas, bold requests, and the provider wishes that guided everything we created. From the launch of OMNI™ and HALO® TRIBRID™ to the final chapter of the Skin CEO era, and the rise of a new chapter in aesthetic leadership, every advancement began with the same question: What do providers need to deliver their best work?
This year, those answers fueled major breakthroughs—three powerful wavelengths integrated into one powerful device for comprehensive skin resurfacing, the introduction of a next-generation laser hair removal platform, and expanded educational opportunities that build leadership skills, elevate practice growth, and strengthen clinical expertise.
Here’s a look at the progress your wishes inspired, and the momentum we’re carrying into 2026.
The Sciton Wishlist: Turning provider wishes into reality
The Sciton Wishlist captured provider wishes we heard most this year—bringing together the technologies, solutions, and tools practices can turn to as they finish 2025 strong and prepare for an even more impactful 2026.
From innovations like HALO® TRIBRID™ to marketing support through Concierge Marketing and Sciton’s new UP Xchange leadership event series—the Wishlist gives providers a clear path to growth.
And one wishlist theme stood out above the rest: resurfacing needed to deliver real results without putting patients’ lives on hold.
Low-downtime resurfacing became non-negotiable
Patients wanted meaningful change—smoother texture, brighter tone, a more even skin tone, and results they can see quickly—without weeks of recovery.
Providers responded by prioritizing solutions that balanced efficacy with practicality. Hybrid and combination treatments gained traction, and protocols with social downtime measured in days, not weeks, became the new standard.
This shift created the perfect landscape for one of the biggest launches of the year.
HALO TRIBRID redefined what resurfacing can deliver
2025 marked a major leap forward in resurfacing with the launch of HALO TRIBRID, the world’s first and only triple-wavelength resurfacing laser. Backed by years of development, clinical insight, and real-world feedback, HALO TRIBRID combines three award-winning wavelengths—2940 nm, 1927 nm, and 1470 nm—to deliver deeper correction, address a broader range of skin concerns in a single session, and offer expanded treatment options with greater efficiency, all without extended downtime.
Clinics quickly embraced HALO TRIBRID for its ability to target multiple layers of the skin simultaneously, create resurfacing protocols tailored to each patient, and customize treatment intensity. From gentle prejuvenation to dramatic correction, providers gained a single device that adapts to virtually every patient and every level of correction.
Dr. Chris Robb, MD, PhD, FAAD, explains, “HALO TRIBRID completely unleashes the power of all three wavelengths—far beyond what HALO or MOXI can do alone.”
He notes that the platform gives providers “unlimited laser combinations” with seven distinct wavelength pairings and independent control of 2940 nm, 1927 nm, and 1470 nm—making it fast, efficient, and highly customizable for everything from superficial pigment to deep skin renewal.
“Every resurfacing laser can be replaced with TRIBRID,” he explains. “If you can do full-field, fractional, and seven different combinations of wavelengths in one system, you don’t need another box. This is the box.”
Other experts are seeing the same shift in their treatment rooms.
Dr. Thomas Griffin, Jr., MD, has seen firsthand how Sciton’s technology evolves with his platform. “I’ve had HALO for 8 years and MOXI for three, and both have been transformative for my patients. They’ve become the foundation of our growing aesthetic practice.” He explains that HALO TRIBRID builds on that foundation in a meaningful way.
“HALO TRIBRID changes the game. It combines the depth of HALO for deep dermal renewal with the superficial polish of MOXI, all from one handpiece.”
And for him, the versatility is what truly stands out.
“As always, Sciton has thought through every detail. With the ability to individualize wavelengths for a standard HALO or MOXI treatment, or mix and match all three, this tool delivers unparalleled versatility–a true home run for any practice.”
While resurfacing saw a major leap forward with HALO TRIBRID, 2025 also brought a breakthrough in one of the most consistently in-demand treatment categories: laser hair removal.
OMNI™ set a new standard for laser hair removal
Laser hair removal remained one of the highest-volume treatments of the year, but providers were clear about what they wanted next: faster speeds, stronger consistency, and dependable performance across every skin type.
Launching as Sciton’s next-generation hair removal solution, OMNI introduced a powerful blend of speed, control, and comfort—all designed to help practices maximize efficiency without sacrificing results.
Providers responded immediately, praising OMNI for:
- High-power diode performance (up to 5000 W) with multiple wavelengths and large spot sizes for fast, efficient treatments across all skin types.
- Seamless versatility with dual-port connectivity for instant handpiece switching and smooth transitions between body areas.
- Superior comfort and cleanliness, powered by advanced contact cooling, the optional gel-free Spritz™ spray, and disposable hygienic caps.
- Effortless integration into any practice, thanks to its ultra-quiet, compact design, standard 100 V outlet compatibility, intuitive presets, and minimal to no consumables.
In the video below, Dr. Dianne Quibell, MD, captures the appeal of OMNI in everyday practice:
“I have the OMNI laser in my practice. My favorite thing, aside from the big spot sizes and high power, is the blended energy. The 810 nm diode targets melanin, and the 940 nm reaches both melanin and the blood supply in the hair follicle. The contact sapphire cooling is amazing. OMNI is next-generation. Sciton doesn’t mess with devices. If you want to keep patients in your clinic for hair removal and not lose them to someone else, OMNI is the answer.”
As practices expanded their offerings with HALO TRIBRID and OMNI, another wish crystallized across 2025: the desire for more education, more hands-on learning, and more leadership development.
Education became a defining priority in 2025
Throughout the year, providers asked for more opportunities to refine their techniques, build more confident teams, and stay competitive.
Sciton’s growing ecosystem—from in-clinic training to preceptorships to Boosted Bootcamps—supported this need by helping teams elevate outcomes, sharpen skills, and strengthen their leadership.
But one wish rose above the rest:
“Teach us how to run the business—not just the device.”
And that wish sparked something new for 2026.
