Halo is Sciton’s world famous hybrid fractional laser for skin resurfacing. HALO combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to address multiple levels of skin concerns, such as texture, pore size, sun damage, pigment, scarring in 1-2 treatments. Known for giving a flawless complexion, it’s called the “Halo Glow” for good reason.
Anyone looking to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, pigmented lesions, enlarged pores, blood vessels, redness, sun damage, discoloration, actinic keratosis, and other signs of aging or scars will benefit from a Halo treatment.
HALO is known as the “Holy Grail” of skin treatments—it addresses vascular lesions, pigmentation and textural issues all in a single modality.
The Halo laser treatment can be tailored based on your unique needs and lifestyle. If you need to get back to work the next day, we can offer light treatment for smoother, vibrant skin with little irritation. Halo can also be performed more aggressively with about 3-5 days of downtime for more dramatic results.
Due to its fractionated nature, most patients require one to two HALO treatments to achieve their goals. These results can be maintained with yearly maintenance treatments.
With a topical anesthetic and integrated cooling technology, patients typically experience very little discomfort. Most patients describe the treatment as a feeling of heat with occasional prickling sensations but are generally comfortable. After the treatment, most patients will continue to feel warm for an additional 30 to 60 minutes or slightly longer with deeper treatment levels.
Discuss your skincare needs with your clinician. You may choose to receive one or two aggressive treatments or multiple gentle treatments to achieve the same goal over a longer period of time. Patients receiving HALO treatments can expect remarkable results in just 1-2 treatments, while the older, non-hybrid technology often requires 5-6 treatments to demonstrate similar results.
As with all laser treatments, there is a possible risk of a burn, scar, or infection. The risk of a burn or scar is higher for dark skin, which is also at risk of hypo or hyperpigmentation however Halo is still the best laser option for all skin tones. If you have a history of frequent cold sores you will be offered a prescription for antiviral medication.
Halo cannot be performed on those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is recommended for those that are nonsmokers and are generally healthy. Contact us today to schedule your free consultation to learn more.
For the first 24 hours, you should keep your skin protected according to your clinician’s instructions. After the first 24 hours have passed, the treated skin will begin to slough off as new healthy skin comes to the surface. You may experience social downtime for a few days but can resume normal daily activities as desired.
