HALO Laser Treatment

HALO laser treatment is an advanced skin rejuvenation option that combines the power of two types of lasers, ablative and non-ablative, for noticeable results with minimal downtime. This hybrid fractional laser system targets the skin’s surface and deeper layers, improving tone, texture, and clarity. By using dual wavelengths, HALO treats multiple concerns in a single session, including fine lines, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation.

How HALO Works

The ablative wavelength removes damaged outer layers of skin, encouraging collagen production and resurfacing the skin’s surface. During the treatment, the non-ablative wavelength simultaneously penetrates deep into the dermis, stimulating cell regeneration and addressing discoloration and textural issues. This combination creates controlled micro-channels in the skin that promote healing and renewal from the inside out.

Benefits of HALO

HALO treatments are tailored to your unique skin needs, making them ideal for various concerns. With less downtime than traditional laser resurfacing, most patients experience only three to five days of recovery, with noticeable improvement within one week. With proper skincare, results are long-lasting, and the procedure is considered safe for all skin types.

What to Expect

The treatment typically takes 15 to 30 minutes to complete. A topical anesthetic is applied to maximize comfort, and patients may feel a warm, tingling sensation during the session. Only one to two treatments are needed to achieve optimal results, and the skin continues to improve over time as collagen production increases.

Ideal Candidates

HALO is ideal for individuals looking to address early signs of aging, sun damage, enlarged pores, acne scars, melasma, and general skin dullness. It is effective for a wide range of skin tones and can be customized for each patient’s goals. Whether you are looking for subtle or more noticeable improvements, HALO offers a flexible solution.

Post-Treatment Care

After treatment, avoiding direct sun exposure and following your provider’s post-care instructions is essential to protect your results and encourage healing. As peeling begins around day two or three, patients will notice fresh, rejuvenated skin emerging. Most patients can expect a full recovery within three to five days, with continued skin improvements over the following weeks.

HALO Results

The HALO laser offers a comprehensive, customizable solution for brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin with less downtime than traditional lasers. By treating the skin’s surface and deeper layers in a single session, HALO helps to refresh your appearance.

Before and Afters

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the treatment painful?

Thanks to a topical anesthetic combined with built-in cooling technology, the majority of patients feel minimal discomfort. Most describe the sensation as a gentle warmth accompanied by slight tingling. The use of a topical anesthetic guarantees optimal comfort throughout the procedure.

How long is the recovery period?

During the first 24 hours, it’s important to protect your skin as directed by your clinician. After this initial period, you can typically return to your regular activities. Peeling will begin after the first day, but you’ll be able to apply makeup. For facial treatments, there may be minimal visible changes on the first day. Within two to three days, a light bronzing effect will appear. By the third or fourth day, your skin will start to peel, unveiling fresh, new skin underneath.

How many sessions will I need?

One of the best things about Halo is the flexibility it offers—you can decide how many treatments suit your needs. Talk with our team about your goals, and you can opt for one or two more intensive sessions, or choose a series of gentler treatments spaced out over time to achieve similar results. You’ll notice improvements after just one session, but several treatments may be suggested to achieve the best possible outcome.

When will I see results?

You may notice initial improvements within a week, with further enhancements developing over the following months as collagen production gradually increases.

Is Halo safe for all skin types?

Halo is suitable for most skin types, but a consultation will help identify the most effective treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

How long do results last?

Your Halo results can last for many years, but it’s important to consistently protect your skin by using UV sunscreen to safeguard your new, healthy complexion. Each additional Halo treatment will enhance your results further, helping you achieve even more radiant skin.

Can Halo treat body areas?

Yes, Halo can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas showing signs of aging or sun damage.

Is there anything I should avoid before the treatment?

Refrain from sun exposure, tanning beds, and specific skin treatments such as chemical peels or retinols for a minimum of two weeks before your procedure.
