What Is HALO™?

HALO™ is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, designed to dramatically improve skin tone, texture, and overall quality with less downtime than traditional laser resurfacing treatments.

HALO™ uses a unique combination of ablative and non-ablative laser technology in a single treatment. The ablative component targets the superficial layers of the skin to remove dull, damaged surface cells and improve texture, while the non-ablative laser penetrates deeper to address concerns such as wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage. This dual approach allows for a highly customized treatment with powerful results and a more manageable recovery. Get that Halo glow!

What to Expect

  • 1Your treatment begins with a consultation to assess your skin concerns, goals, and determine whether HALO™ is the right laser treatment for you.
  • 2 During treatment: a topical anesthetic is applied prior to treatment to maximize comfort. HALO™ also features integrated cooling technology. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, often described as warmth with a prickling sensation during the procedure.
  • 3 After treatment: redness and swelling are expected and typically begin to subside within 24 hours. Over the following days, your skin may feel rough — similar to sandpaper — as tiny microscopic skin particles shed. This is a normal part of the renewal process.
  • 4 Many patients begin to see improvement within 5-7 days, with continued refinement as healing progresses. Skin looks smooth and glowy by day 7-10. You can expect even more improvement over the coming months as your skin builds collagen, revealing smoother, clearer, more radiant skin.

What is HALO™?

The world’s first hybrid fractional laser, HALO™️ works to address skin concerns ranging from wrinkles and fine lines to sun damage and acne scars without the discomfort or downtime patients may have come to expect from other laser treatments. By using a specialized combination of non-ablative and ablative laser technology, HALO allows for a completely customized treatment. The ablative laser targets the top layers of the skin to smooth away dull surface cells and reveal renewed and refreshed skin, while the non-ablative laser goes deeper to correct concerns like scarring and wrinkles. The outcome is maximum results, with minimal downtime.

What are the benefits of HALO™?

HALO is a safe and effective laser treatment that can address skin texture and tone, enlarged pores, wrinkles and fine lines, scars (including acne scars), sun damage, and even pigmented lesions. It can treat all skin types on the face, as well as areas of the body such as the neck, chest, and hands. Results may vary depending on the condition being treated, as well as your overall goals; our team will work with you to develop a unique treatment plan.

What can I expect from HALO™ laser treatments?

HALO treatments are more comfortable than traditional laser resurfacing treatments. Thanks to a topical anaesthetic applied prior to treatment and HALO’s integrated cooling technology, most patients experience very little discomfort at all. You may feel some heat, combined with a prickling sensation as the treatment is underway.

Immediately following your treatment, you will experience some redness and swelling which starts to subside within 24 hours. Over the next week, your skin will feel rough, like sandpaper, and little grains of skin will peel off. You should begin to see results 2 to 5 days following your treatment, with final results appearing within 2 to 3 weeks.
