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.
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.
Halo Laser is a skin rejuvenating, non-surgical procedure. After treatment, our patients experience noticeable improvements in their skin tone and texture, as well as a significant reduction in skin discoloration, sunspots, fine lines, wrinkles, and pore size. Expect improvements in your skin’s glow and reflectivity! Halo results progressively improve over several months, and with regular use of sun protection, these results can last up to two years.
Halo is an excellent option because of its versatility. You can choose the number of Halo Laser treatments you have! Just discuss your cosmetic requests and time availability with your doctor. 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.
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.
The topical anesthetic, along with an integrated cooling component, ensures that patients experience minimal discomfort. Patients typically describe the sensation felt during the treatment as an occasional prickling with heat. Patients commonly express feeling warmth for the next 15–30 minutes. If you have a deep-level treatment, the area may remain warm for longer.
Follow each of the post-procedure instructions you receive. Protecting your skin is essential. You should be able to resume regular activities on the same or following day. You may be permitted to apply make-up after the first 24 hours.
Within 2-5 days, you will see the first changes, and your skin will continue to improve each day. Within 2-3 weeks, many improvements in pigmentation will be visible, and the dermal regeneration phase will continue to increase over the coming months.
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. Wear UV sunscreen to protect your new, healthy skin from ultraviolet rays!
Halo treatments are customized to treat your skin’s needs, as well as your lifestyle. Your doctor may recommend a single Halo treatment or a series of subsequent treatments. The cost varies and is based on the number of Halo treatments, as well as any combined treatments you choose to have (e.g., an eyebrow lift or lip rejuvenation procedure).
