Halo Pro Laser

Halo is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser with unique dual wavelengths which applies tunable non-ablative (1470nm) and ablative (2940nm) wavelengths to the same microscopic treatment zone, maximizing results and reducing downtime. Dual wavelengths allow the provider the ability to customize treatments for each individual based on their individual needs.

Halo is a complete skin rejuvenation treatment. You will see improvements in overall tone and texture, significant removal of discoloration, reduction in fine lines, reduced pore size, skin reflectivity and glow.

What’s great about Halo is that you can choose how many treatments you want! Discuss with your provider your needs and you can choose to have one or two more aggressive treatments or have multiple treatments that are less aggressive and achieve a similar goal over a longer period of time.

Forty-five minutes to an hour before the treatment your provider may place a topical anesthetic on your skin to reduce the sensation during the procedure. Prior to the treatment, the area will be measured with motion tracking technology to ensure the area is treated evenly. The provider will treat each measured section by rolling the Halo hand piece over the skin until the system recognizes the treatment is complete. Your provider may treat certain areas more that need a more aggressive treatment to better reach each patient’s goals.

With a topical anesthetic and integrated cooling technology, most patients experience a feeling of heat with a prickling sensation. After the treatment, the treated areas will continue to feel warm for an additional 30 to 60 minutes, or a bit longer with deeper treatment levels. We take measures to cool you off after your treatment. The addition of PRP will dramatically improve (decrease) the heat sensation.

Halo Laser Treatment produces an expected recovery period, often referred to as “down-time”. The intensity and duration of your recovery depends on the aggressiveness of your treatment and your individual healing characteristics. Generally, patients who are treated more aggressively experience more intense and longer recovery periods. Less often, some patients who receive a less aggressive treatment may experience a recovery period of greater-than-expected magnitude. Notify your provider if the severity of your recovery becomes more than you expected. In addition, redness, swelling and pinpoint bleeding may also occur. You may experience more severe swelling around and below the eyes one to two days post treatment. Occasionally, oozing can occur, in isolated areas, for a few days. You will notice some swelling and redness over the next few days. Swelling may be significant and cause some discomfort. The worst swelling is usually in the morning, particularly around the eyes. The skin will start to look “bronzed” and little dark dots will appear on the treated area. Some patients may also experience itching during the healing process. You may notice a “sandpaper” texture a few days after treatment. Your skin will feel dry, and begin to peel or flake. This treated tissue is working its way out of your body as new, fresh skin is regenerated. Sloughing skin is a normal result of Halo treatment; in most patients, this process lasts 5-7 days.

You will see initial results 7 days after your Halo treatment, but your skin will continue to improve over time. Most patients see the greatest pigmentary improvement in the first two to three weeks. This is followed by a dermal regeneration phase that continues to improve for months.

5-7 days after a treatment on the face. (On other areas, such as neck/chest/hands/arms, or any area off the face where healing is slower, the process may take up to 2 weeks to feel smooth.)

Halo results will last for years to come; you should continue using UV sunscreen to protect your new, healthy skin. Each additional Halo treatment you get will only improve the results, giving you even better looking skin.
