What Is Halo Laser?

Halo Laser is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that combines two powerful laser wavelengths: ablative and non-ablative. This innovative approach targets both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin, addressing various concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven tone, and texture. By stimulating collagen production and promoting skin renewal, Halo Laser delivers noticeable improvements with minimal downtime.

How Does Halo Laser Work?

Halo Laser uses a hybrid fractional laser that combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths. The ablative wavelength targets the outermost layer of the skin, inducing controlled damage to stimulate the body’s natural healing response. The non-ablative wavelength penetrates deeper into the skin to promote collagen production.

This dual-action approach effectively addresses various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, and uneven texture. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more youthful in appearance.

Preparation:

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks before treatment.

  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment.
  • Inform your provider about any medications or supplements you’re currently taking.
  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of your treatment.
  • Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment.
  • Arrange for transportation home if sedation or anesthesia will be used.
  • Follow any additional instructions provided by your healthcare provider for optimal results.

Procedure

During the Halo Laser treatment, you’ll first receive protective eyewear to shield your eyes. Your provider will then apply a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Next, the handheld Halo device will be passed over your skin, delivering precise laser energy. You may feel a warm sensation or mild tingling as the treatment progresses. The duration can vary depending on the area being treated and your specific concerns. Afterward, your provider may apply soothing creams or serums to help with any temporary redness or irritation.

Downtime

Following your Halo Laser treatment, you may experience redness, swelling, and a sunburn-like sensation, which subsides within a few hours to a day. Some individuals might notice mild peeling or flaking as the skin undergoes renewal. These effects are normal and indicate the body’s natural healing process. While downtime is minimal compared to ablative lasers, you may take a day or two off from work or social activities to allow your skin to fully recover.

Recovery Guidelines

  • Apply a gentle moisturizer to soothe any dryness or tightness.
  • Avoid touching or picking at the treated area to prevent infection and promote healing.
  • Protect your skin from direct sunlight by wearing sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water to support skin regeneration.
  • Use a mild cleanser and avoid harsh skincare products for at least one-week post-treatment.
  • Attend any follow-up appointments scheduled by your provider for assessment.
  • Resume your normal skincare routine gradually, as advised by your healthcare provider.

Results

You can typically begin to notice improvements in your skin’s texture and tone within a few days to weeks following your Halo Laser treatment. However, optimal results usually become more apparent over the following months as collagen production continues and your skin rejuvenates. These results are long-lasting, but maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the effects over time. By adhering to a proper skincare regimen and protecting your skin from sun damage, you can prolong the benefits of your Halo Laser treatment.
