HALO®
As time passes, our skin begins to show visible signs of aging, such as sunspots, fine lines, and a dull, lackluster complexion. If you’re looking to revive your natural glow and address these common concerns, HALO® laser treatments offer an innovative solution that blends the benefits of both ablative and non-ablative laser technologies.
What is HALO® Laser Treatment?
HALO® is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, uniquely designed to target the layers of skin where damage resides while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. By combining both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, HALO® can effectively treat surface-level imperfections while also addressing deeper skin issues, offering comprehensive rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

Target Areas and Concerns of HALO®
HALO® is versatile and can be used on multiple areas of the body. It is particularly effective for:
- Face. Reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and pore size.
- Neck and Décolletage. Smoothing skin texture and minimizing sun damage.
- Hands. Revitalizing skin and reducing age spots.
- Body. Improving skin tone and texture on arms, legs, and other areas affected by sun damage or aging.
- Melasma. A skin condition characterized by dark, discolored patches, often caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or genetics.
How It Works
HALO® works by delivering laser energy to the skin at varying depths. The non-ablative wavelength targets deeper skin layers, promoting collagen production and long-term benefits, while the ablative wavelength removes damaged skin on the surface. This dual approach helps to achieve a smoother, more even complexion while minimizing downtime compared to traditional laser treatments.

Treatment Process
Our HALO® Laser Treatment offers a revolutionary approach to skin rejuvenation, combining both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to address a wide range of skin concerns. Here’s what you can expect during your treatment process:
Consultation and Skin Assessment
The journey begins with a personalized consultation where our expert practitioners assess your skin type, concerns, and goals. This ensures that the HALO® treatment is tailored specifically to your needs.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Before the procedure, your skin will be cleansed thoroughly. A topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. You’ll be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light. Many people may need to pretreat with a topical pigment protector.
HALO® Laser Application
During the treatment, the HALO® handpiece is passed over the target areas of your skin. The dual-wavelength technology works simultaneously—one wavelength treats the deeper dermal layers, stimulating collagen production, while the other targets the epidermis, addressing surface-level imperfections such as fine lines, pigmentation, and sun damage.
Cooling and Comfort Measures
Throughout the procedure, our advanced cooling system helps maintain your comfort by cooling the skin as the laser is applied. The treatment is designed to be precise, with minimal discomfort.
Post-Treatment Care
After the HALO® treatment, your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a sunburn, and you might experience some mild swelling. A personalized post-care regimen will be provided to aid in the healing process and enhance your results. This includes gentle skincare products and sun protection guidelines to ensure optimal healing.
Recovery and Results
Over the next few days, you’ll notice the skin gradually peeling as it heals and regenerates. As the treated areas continue to recover, you’ll begin to see improvements in texture, tone, and overall skin quality. Full results typically develop within a few weeks, revealing a radiant, rejuvenated complexion.
FAQ
How many treatments will I need?
The number of HALO® treatments needed varies depending on individual skin concerns and goals. Some may achieve desired results with just one session, while others may benefit from a series of treatments.
Is HALO® suitable for all skin types?
HALO® is safe and effective for most skin types, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of patients.
Is the HALO® treatment painful?
The HALO® treatment is generally well-tolerated by most patients. A topical numbing cream is typically applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. Patients may feel a warm sensation during the treatment, but it is usually not painful.
How soon will I see results from HALO®?
You may begin to see initial results within a week after the treatment, with continued improvement over the next few months as your skin regenerates and collagen production increases.
How long does the HALO® Laser Treatment take?
The duration of your HALO® Laser Treatment varies depending on the area being treated. For the face, the procedure typically takes between 30 to 45 minutes. If you’re treating the chest or neck, expect the session to last around 20 minutes. Treatments for the hands usually take about 15 minutes, while larger body zones may require 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the specific area.
How long do the results of a HALO® Laser Treatment last?
The longevity of your HALO® Laser Treatment results depends on your unique skin condition and how well you care for your skin afterward. Generally, you can expect to see continued improvement with each treatment, which should be spaced approximately three weeks apart. With proper post-treatment care, the results of your HALO® Laser Treatment can last for years, giving you a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Can I wear makeup after a HALO® Laser Treatment?
Yes, you can wear makeup after your HALO® Laser Treatment, but it’s important to wait at least 24 hours post-treatment. During this time, your skin may peel, but after the first day, you can apply makeup and sunscreen. However, it’s crucial to avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks before and after your treatment to protect your skin and enhance the effectiveness of the laser. Additionally, you may notice a light bronzing of the skin 2-3 days after your treatment, which is a normal part of the healing process.
