If you’ve been thinking about a way to refresh your skin, nothing does it quite like HALO. This hybrid fractional laser treatment delivers a powerful combination of ablative and non-ablative wavelengths so patients enjoy dramatic results with less downtime than more aggressive lasers. Read on to learn more!
What This Treatment Is All About
This laser resurfacing method works on two levels. The ablative component removes damaged surface skin, while the non-ablative wavelengths stimulate collagen production. That dual action gives you smoother texture, improved firmness, and more even skin tone. Because we can adjust the depth and intensity, each session can be tailored to your skin’s needs.
Who It Helps & What It Treats
You can see great results in numerous areas:
- Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, mouth, or forehead
- Pigmentation issues like sunspots, age spots, or uneven tone
- Rough or irregular skin texture
- Acne scars or other types of acne damage
- Large pores and dullness
It’s especially effective for the face, neck, chest.
What Happens During & After Your Session
Each treatment usually takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the area. Integrated cooling often helps during treatment. As the laser works, you’ll feel warmth or a prickling sensation. Afterwards, there can be redness, mild swelling, and a feeling similar to sunburn. Most people resume regular activities within a few days, though makeup may be limited in the beginning.
How Many Treatments & How Long Results Last
Often, just one or two sessions are enough to see noticeable improvement, especially with mild-to-moderate concerns. If you want more dramatic results, or have deeper damage, multiple sessions might be recommended. The improvements tend to continue over time as your skin produces new collagen.
