HALO LASER TREATMENT

Sandia Skin + Face is proud to offer HALO LASER TREATMENTS.

Over the years, sun exposure and the wear and tear of everyday living may have resulted in the visible signs of aging such as sunspots, fine lines, and loss of your natural healthy glow. HALO® uses laser technology to eliminate years of damage. The laser triggers your body’s natural healing response, revealing the luminous glow you had when you were younger.

A more intense treatment will give your skin that youthful glow with just a few extra days of downtime.

FAQ

Halo Laser is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser system, and combines deep inner skin rejuvenation with dramatic outer skin renewal to produce a beautiful, healthy appearance without the downtime of more aggressive treatments.

Halo Laser treats the following skin conditions:

Areas of pigmentation
Sun damage
Visible signs of aging
Uneven skin tone
Enlarged pores
Poor texture
Fine lines
Acne scarring
Melasma For Dark Skin Types

Halo Laser Treatment uses a motion-tracking technology to measure your face beforehand, so the laser can scan and target imperfections deep within the epidermis — even imperfections that would not be visible to the naked eye. Because of this, the Halo Laser Treatment is effective for all ages, all skin types, and all complexions.

Each person and skin condition is unique, so there is no single answer. Most patients will require between 2-6 Halo Laser treatments with maintenance treatments done every 6-18 months. The number of Halo Laser treatments will also depend on the aggressiveness of the treatment. More aggressive Halo Laser treatments require 1-2 treatments, while less aggressive treatments require 4-6 treatments.

Each person and skin condition is unique. Each consecutive Halo Laser treatment should be approximately 3-weeks apart. After each Halo Laser treatment, you’ll see continued improvement. Results from your Halo Laser treatments will last years to come with proper care. Talk to your skincare specialist about how you can prolong the effects of your Halo Laser treatments.

Yes. Halo Laser treatments work wonderfully to improve the appearance of your skin and it is effective for all ages, skin types, and complexions. Using motion-tracking technology, Halo Laser treatments target skin imperfections, improve collagen production, and treat minor facial flaws.

The average cost of a Halo Laser treatment is $1,475, but it can range from $700 to $2,500, according to 367 reviews from RealSelf members.

After the first 24 hours after your Halo Laser treatment, your skin may peel, but you can put on makeup and or sunscreen. Absolute sun avoidance is required for at least 2 weeks before and after the Halo Laser treatment. After 2-3 days you will develop a light bronzing appearance.

You can expect to see an improvement in textural and pigmentation irregularities several weeks following your Halo Laser treatment. Continued improvement will gradually occur over the course of 3-6 months. You may need multiple Halo Laser treatment sessions to meet your ultimate goals.

24 hours after the treatment, cleanse the skin two times a day with plain, lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser like Cetaphil. Gently apply the cleanser and water, and finish by patting dry with a soft cloth.

Continue to avoid skin irritants (i.e. Retinol, Retin-A, Tretinoin Vitamin A, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, AHAs, LHAs, and Benzoyl Peroxide) for one month after your treatment. For men, do not shave the treated area for 5 days after the treatment.

If you have more moderate skin concerns, like wrinkles and other aging symptoms, you may need one Halo treatment every six months for your best results.

A good candidate for a Halo Laser treatment is a person with acne scars, discolored spots, wrinkles, or other skin conditions on almost any part of the body.

The office staff is super accommodating and helpful, and Dr. Tuggle and Tonya Tuggle are both wonderful at what they do. I have had multiple procedures/treatments here over the years and highly recommend them. I never feel uncomfortable or judged, which is huge when deciding on cosmetic procedures. I also never felt pressured into anything and always felt informed about all of my decisions. They have great seasonal specials on fillers, etc!

Tonya is amazing!! She made me feel so comfortable and really listened to my concerns about my skin. She really cares and knows what she is doing. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!! I was concerned my first appointment but I just had my third and I can say it’s so worth it!!! Botox has been an incredible experience and I’m so happy to have tried it, I’m so much happier with my appearance and it looks incredibly natural. I’ve included before and after photos, neither photo is filtered or edited, you can see how makeup would collect in my forehead, and how the after it’s smooth and looks so lovely. It doesn’t feel weird or like I can’t move my muscles at all, it feels super natural. One of my biggest concerns was that I wouldn’t be able to emote with Botox but that’s just not true at all. I feel so confident and that is thanks to Tonya!

HALO LASER TREATMENT
PROCEDURE PREP

We recommend that all patients having resurfacing treatments done around the mouth have an oral antiviral agent to prevent any cold sore virus from getting into the treated areas. Valtrex 500 mg twice a day to start 1 day before treatment and continue on for 5 days post-treatment (7 days total).
Please discontinue any products containing active ingredients 7 days prior to treatment, such as Retinol (Retin-A, Tretinoin, Vitamin A), Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, AHAs (Alpha-hydroxy acids), LHAs (Lipo hydroxy acids) and Benzoyl Peroxide.
Avoid hydroquinone for 3 days before your treatment.
If you have questions about your current skin care products, please call our office.
Please show up to your treatment appointment with no makeup on.
Avoid sun exposure (including tanning beds) for at least 14 days prior to treatment. Avoid sunless tanning creams or sprays on the treated area for 14 days prior.
Do not wax or use depilatory creams on the treatment areas for 14 days prior to treatment.
Avoid Aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen, Fish Oils, Vitamin E, and other blood thinners 5-7 days before your treatment. If you are on a prescribed blood thinner, please contact our office.
Please bring a wide-brimmed hat with you on your treatment day to protect your skin when you leave the office.

HALO LASER TREATMENT
AFTERCARE

You may shower the day following your treatment. When showering in the next few days, please be sure to avoid getting shampoo directly on the treated area. You may take a shower with the back of your head to the water to avoid directly hitting your face with a full force stream of water. Alternatively, you may wish to have baths instead.
Beginning the morning after your treatment, cleanse the skin with plain, lukewarm water and Cetaphil.
Ensure you wash your hands well before touching your face. Gently apply the cleanser and water and finish by patting dry with a clean soft cloth. DO NOT rub, scrub, use an exfoliant or a skin care brush, e.g. Clarisonic in the treated area. Doing so could cause scarring and pigmentation complications. You will cleanse your skin with Cetaphil twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
After cleansing in the morning, apply 4-6 drops of CE Ferulic Serum by SkinCeuticals to your skin, this may sting but is safe to use. CE Ferulic after a laser treatment is very well tolerated and will enhance your results. Not only will it help with some swelling, it also decreases redness and downtime. You do not need to apply CE Ferulic in the evening.
Your moisturizer (Epidermal Repair by SkinCeuticals) should be applied generously over the treated area immediately after CE Ferulic and reapplied whenever your skin feels dry. For severe dryness, we have included a small container of Aquaphor, which is an occlusive barrier, to apply if you feel you need the added moisture. You may use the Aquaphor on top of Epidermal Repair or mix it in with it, otherwise, just use the Epidermal Repair.
Peeling and flaking occur within 24 hours post-treatment and should be allowed to come off naturally. Peeling can continue for 3-5 days post-treatment. DO NOT PICK, RUB, OR FORCE OFF ANY SKIN DURING THE HEALING PROCESS, THIS COULD CAUSE SCARRING, PIGMENTATION COMPLICATIONS AND INFECTION! Gently washing the skin more frequently will help to promote the peeling process.
Sunscreen is a MUST and should be used daily beginning the day after treatment and used vigilantly for up to 3 months post procedure. Use recommended mineral sunscreen with broadband protection (UVA and UVB) and a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30. Do not use a chemical sunscreen. The SPF provided in your post treatment kit is ideal and what we recommend for daily use (Physical Fusion by SkinCeuticals SPF 50). Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours. If direct sun exposure is necessary, wear a hat and clothing that covers the treated area. If you expose the treated area to sun (direct or indirect) blistering, scarring, hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation can / will occur. You should avoid sun exposure for 2 months post-treatment.
2 days after your treatment, you are safe to use medically approved makeup such as GloMinerals (available at our office) if you really feel the need to. If possible, please wait until after the peeling process to apply makeup (5-7 days post-treatment). Please ensure you properly cleanse any makeup brushes you use.
Avoid strenuous activity and sweating until the skin has healed (5-7 days).
Ensure you keep your hair back and out of your face at all times during the healing process.
Continue to avoid skin irritants (i.e. Retinol, Retin-A, Tretinoin Vitamin A, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, AHAs, LHAs, and Benzoyl Peroxide) for one month after your treatment.
For men, do not shave the treated area for 5 days after the treatment.
Once your skin completely heals (around 7 days), you may discontinue the use of Epidermal Repair and return to your normal skin care regime (except for the use of any exfoliants for 1 month). Should you require a recommendation for a daily moisturizer, please let us know and we can assist you.
