Halo

One of the key advantages of Halo is its advanced comfort-focused design, which sets it apart from many traditional laser resurfacing treatments. The Halo device also features dynamic thermal optimization and integrated cooling technology, which helps regulate temperature and soothe your skin throughout the procedure. Most patients report only a mild, tingling, or prickling sensation as the laser energy is delivered. After treatment, you might experience some redness and heat for a few hours, but this typically resolves quickly.

The number of Halo treatments you’ll need depends on your skin type, the specific concerns you’re looking to address, and the level of dramatic change you desire. Many patients experience noticeable improvement after just one session; however, for long-term results, especially when targeting deeper skin issues like acne scars, advanced sun damage, or more significant texture irregularities, a series of two to three treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended.

Halo is unique in that it delivers both immediate and progressive results. In the first 5 to 7 days after your treatment, your skin will go through a visible renewal process—old, damaged skin will naturally shed, revealing a fresher, brighter complexion underneath. Many patients notice an improvement in tone, texture, and radiance within the first week, especially once any mild peeling has subsided. Full results typically emerge around 2 to 3 months post-treatment and can last for years with proper skincare and sun protection.

Absolutely; since Halo works on both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, it combines beautifully with treatments like BroadBand Light (BBL) for added pigmentation correction, or injectables like Botox and dermal fillers to target expression lines and volume loss. Depending on your aesthetic goals, we can create a treatment plan that integrates multiple modalities for synergistic results. Whether you’re preparing for a special event or simply want to maximize your skin’s health and appearance, combining Halo with complementary procedures can deliver a more dramatic, refreshed look without the need for invasive surgery.

Halo is considered one of the safest and most effective laser resurfacing treatments available today, especially because it combines ablative and non-ablative technology in a way that minimizes trauma to the skin. However, as with any laser treatment, there are some potential risks to be aware of. The most common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and a warm or tight sensation, similar to a sunburn, which usually resolves within a few days. Some patients may experience mild peeling or bronzing of the skin, which is a normal part of the renewal process.
