Transform Your Skin With HALO Laser Treatment

Nothing is worse than noticing your skin looks dull, tired, and weathered. If you need a skincare pick-me-up and are looking for ways to get your glow back, the HALO laser treatment is just what you’ve been waiting for. In one quick session, this skin resurfacing treatment will yield transformative results, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun spots, and giving you a rejuvenated, radiant complexion that enhances your natural beauty and leaves you feeling your best.

What Is A HALO Laser Treatment?

The HALO laser is a revolutionary device developed by Sciton®, a world leader in aesthetic technology. Laser skin resurfacing has long been the aesthetic physician’s secret weapon in tackling the signs of aging, but HALO takes regular laser therapy to the next level, for two reasons: its unique combination of laser wavelengths, and its fractionated delivery.

Combining the Benefits of Ablative and Non-ablative Wavelengths

The HALO laser can produce both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths of light – in simple terms, this means that it is simultaneously able to produce a wavelength that removes the uppermost layer of the skin (ablative), as well as a wavelength that leaves the surface of the skin unharmed but transmits heat energy to its deeper layers to create micro-wounds and stimulate the regeneration of skin tissue (non-ablative). This allows the HALO laser treatment device to target signs of aging and skin imperfections in both the dermis and epidermis, giving your outward appearance an immediate boost in the short-term, while also restructuring your skin’s deeper layers to achieve more youthful skin over the long-term.

A Fractionated Approach

What’s more, the HALO laser is fractionated, enabling a highly targeted skin resurfacing treatment: instead of exposing the entire surface area of the skin to a full-field laser beam, the treatment area is targeted with tiny columns of light, ensuring a precise treatment that requires less downtime than non-fractionated treatments. The treatment device’s motion-tracking technology also ensures that each part of the treatment area receives exactly the intended laser exposure, allowing for a highly controlled and even application of the treatment.

HALO Is Like Waving A Magic Wand: It Treats A Variety Of Skin Concerns At Once!

There’s a very good reason why the HALO laser treatment is beloved by clients of aesthetic clinics the world over: it is a highly customizable treatment that can be adapted to a wide variety of skin types and skin concerns, as well as the individual patient’s tolerance for downtime. Let’s take a look at how the HALO laser works wonders for a range of skin issues.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

The HALO laser is highly effective for tackling the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity – all common signs of aging. The treatment device’s non-ablative wavelengths cause tiny wounds in the dermis, triggering the skin’s natural healing processes and boosting the production of collagen, a structural protein that declines as we age and that gives the skin its plumpness, firmness and elasticity. After the treatment, you will slowly see the results of increased collagen production as new, healthy skin that is firmer, plumper and clearer is produced. After several HALO laser treatments, you will observe a marked reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Sun Spots & Pigmentation

The device’s non-ablative wavelengths also target the skin cells responsible for hyperpigmentation, sun spots and an uneven skin tone – melanocytes, which are located deep in the dermis. As a result, hyperpigmentation is targeted at its source. The ablative wavelengths also remove the uppermost layer of the epidermis, resurfacing the skin to reveal a clearer, more even complexion in a matter of days following treatment.

Large Pores & Acne Scars

A HALO laser treatment is also an excellent option if you want to minimize the appearance of acne scars, target large pores, and tackle other skin texture issues. The application of non-ablative wavelengths to the skin ‘tricks’ it into thinking it has been injured, kick-starting your skin’s healing mechanism and quickly producing new, healthy skin cells with improved structure. The result is that damaged skin structures, such as those that appear as acne scars, are healed and become less visible over time. This process also helps to minimize pore size and create skin that is tighter and smoother overall.

Texture & Dullness

One of the major benefits of skin resurfacing treatments such as the HALO laser is that they remove old, tired, damaged layers of skin and reveal rejuvenated, healthy, clear skin underneath. In the case of the HALO laser, the results are so dramatic that fans of the treatment have taken to boasting online about the distinctive ‘HALO glow’ that is noticeable within a few days of treatment. By removing the top layer of skin, the HALO laser also results in noticeably smoother, more supple skin, as rough, dull, damaged skin flakes off in the days after treatment.

Enjoy A Quick, Comfortable Treatment With Little Downtime

A HALO laser treatment takes between 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. For a painless and comfortable treatment, a topical anesthetic is first applied, and cooling technology is activated on the HALO laser device to calm the skin throughout the procedure. After your treatment, you’ll be given detailed instructions for post-treatment care and will be told what to expect during recovery. For the rest of the day, you’ll likely experience a sensation similar to sunburn, and your skin may feel tight and appear red.

A major advantage of the HALO laser’s combination of non-ablative and ablative wavelengths is that treatment downtime is significantly shorter when compared to traditional laser treatments. The downtime you’ll need after your HALO laser treatment will greatly depend on the skin concern being treated and the intensity of your treatment, but usually, your skin should start to heal within 2-5 days. However, you’ll be able to resume your normal routine a day or two after treatment, although you may want to avoid social activities while the uppermost layer of your skin that was targeted by the ablative laser wavelengths begins to darken, roughen, and flake off. This is a normal part of the skin’s healing process after laser skin resurfacing, and you must allow your dead skin to flake off naturally in the days after treatment.

The HALO Glow Begins To Show

Within approximately a week after treatment, you’ll be enjoying that sought-after HALO glow, as clear, bright, smooth skin begins to reveal itself. The results of your treatment will continue to become apparent in the weeks and months that follow, as collagen production gradually increases and the rejuvenated layers of skin move toward the surface through the skin’s natural cellular replacement cycle. Hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and dark marks should be less visible within a few weeks after treatment, and fine lines and wrinkles will become noticeably less pronounced as the months go by. Ideally, you should schedule a yearly laser skin resurfacing treatment to maintain your results, so that you can eliminate any environmental damage done to the skin since your last treatment.
