What is the HALO® Laser?

The HALO® Laser is a state-of-the-art laser system that combines the benefits of ablative and non-ablative laser therapies in a single treatment, creating what is known as a hybrid fractional laser. This hybrid approach allows for precise targeting of specific skin issues, such as wrinkles, discoloration, uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and sun damage, with minimal downtime. The HALO® Laser stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and resulting in smoother, more vibrant, and younger-looking skin. Its unique ability to customize the intensity of the treatment makes it suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns.

What Can the HALO® Laser Be Used to Treat?

With its hybrid approach, the HALO® Laser can be used to treat a variety of cosmetic and skin health concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Scar revision
• Sun damage and dyschromia
• Pigmented lesions
• Enlarged pores

Am I a Good Candidate for HALO® Laser Treatments?

HALO® Laser treatments are ideal for individuals looking for noticeable improvements in their skin’s appearance without the extensive downtime associated with traditional laser resurfacing procedures. Suitable candidates are those seeking to address signs of aging, sun damage, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and wrinkles, as well as pore size. It’s also beneficial for patients desiring a more even skin texture and a radiant complexion. Our licensed provider will evaluate your skin type, condition, and cosmetic goals to determine if HALO® Laser treatments are the right choice for you.

What is the HALO® Laser Treatment Like?

Prior to the HALO® Laser treatment, a topical anesthetic is applied to minimize discomfort. The procedure itself involves the gentle application of the laser handpiece over the targeted areas, with the device emitting light that penetrates the skin to various depths. Patients may feel a sensation of warmth or tingling, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated. A typical session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size and condition of the area being treated.

What Results Can I Expect from HALO® Laser Treatments?

Following a HALO® Laser treatment, patients can expect to see an initial improvement in their skin’s texture and tone within a week, with more significant results appearing over the following months as collagen production increases. The skin will appear more luminous, with a reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration, and an overall more youthful and refreshed appearance. Results can last for years, provided that patients maintain a proper skincare regimen and protect their skin from the sun.

Is There Any Downtime After HALO® Laser Treatments?

After undergoing HALO® Laser treatments, patients may experience significant swelling. This reaction is a normal part of the healing process and typically subsides within a few days, though some individuals may notice these effects diminish more quickly. Our provider will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and efficient recovery. These instructions will likely include recommendations for gentle skin care products to soothe and hydrate the skin, as well as strict advice to avoid direct sun exposure. Protecting the skin with a high-SPF sunscreen is crucial during this time to prevent any new damage to the treated areas and to support optimal healing. Additionally, it’s important for patients to avoid any harsh skincare treatments or products that could irritate the skin further during the recovery phase.
