Halo Laser Results

In approximately five to seven days, initial Halo results will begin to appear. The final result will appear progressively over the following 2-3 months.

Halo Laser Treatment Process

A topical anesthetic is applied to the skin for approximately 60 minutes before treatment, which will gently numb the skin. Once treatment begins, One of our highly skilled and experienced aesthetic nurses then rolls the Halo’s handpiece over the top layer of the skin, creating small thermal injuries triggering the skin's natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Mild to moderate swelling, redness, and a sandpaper-like texture called MEND’s (microscopic epidermal debris) will form on treated skin approximately 1-2 days after treatment. Swelling and redness will subside throughout the week, and the sandpapery texture then sloughs off in approximately 5-7 days after treatment, leaving your skin with a glowing, pink complexion once fully healed.

Possible Side Effects

Swelling and redness are common side effects of the Halo Laser treatment. Sleeping elevated, avoiding salty foods and alcohol, and avoiding exercise for 48 hours will help to minimize swelling.

It is important to note that swelling will not affect the positive results achieved with Halo. Tylenol, Benadryl, and icing can also help treat discomfort and/or swelling.
If necessary, a steroid may be prescribed to treat severe inflammation.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

Stop using Retin-A, Renova, Differin, for one week prior to treatment and do not resume for one week after treatment.
Do not use any at home peels or products that contain any acids, including alpha-hydroxy acid and beta-hydroxy acids for one week prior to treatment.
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and sunless/self tanning lotions for 2 weeks prior to and throughout the course of your treatments. It is important that your skin remains its natural color without any tanning. In order to avoid tanning, a broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunblock with an SPF of 30 must be applied 15 minutes prior to casual sun exposure. Prolonged sun exposure requires repeated applications of sunblock every 2 hours. Sunblock must be reapplied after swimming. If sun exposure is unavoidable, more treatment sessions may be needed to achieve the desired results as lower settings must be used to protect sun-exposed skin.
Recent sun exposure that causes tanning may result in cancellation of the treatment in order to avoid complications.
Please inform us if you have any history of “herpes”, “cold sores”, or “fever blisters”. In such instances, Valtrex may be prescribed prior to treatment. Like sunlight, laser light may cause a cold sore or fever blister, leading to more serious complications.
Avoid taking NSAIDs such as Advil, Motrin, Aleve, and Aspirin for 1 week prior to the scheduled procedure.

The doctor will assist you with selecting an option of one or two higher-level treatments or multiple lower-level treatments to achieve similar goals.

What Happens During The Halo Treatment?

The staff will apply anesthetic topically to your skin 60 minutes before the treatment, and this will reduce any discomfort during the treatment. Experiencing a tingling sensation with heat is expected. Motion tracking technology assists the nurses in applying an even application, and the system will indicate when the session is complete.

How Does The Halo Treatment Feel?

How Long Will My Halo Laser Results Last?

Your Halo results will last a couple of years if appropriate skincare and maintenance are continued. Our doctors recommend BBL (Broadband Light) therapy and additional Halo treatments to improve and maintain your results. Keeping your skin protected while in the sun is essential.
