Reviews
Do I qualify for HALO Laser Treatments?
You have several factors to consider when choosing which method of laser skin resurfacing treatment is best for your skin. Laser skin resurfacing is ideal for people who are unsatisfied with their skin's appearance. If you see sun-damaged skin, age spots, acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, redness, or pigmentation troubles, this procedure can help improve these imperfections. Also, this treatment works well if you have rough texture, scaly patches, or other irregularities. Laser skin resurfacing isn't recommended for anyone who has very dark skin tones or active acne. In addition, it's important to understand that there is a recovery period needed after laser therapy. Certain patients, based on the condition of their skin, may require as much as 2 – 3 weeks to recover.
How do Halo Laser Skin Treatments Work?
Halo laser skin treatment uses two wavelengths. One bypasses the outer part of your skin to allow treatment of abnormalities underneath the surface. The other treats the epidermis, the outer skin, to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles. It also addresses solar damage and stimulates collagen for more radiant younger-looking skin.
Ablative skin laser treatments are the most effective method of treating aging skin. Ablative skin lasers deliver a wavelength of light to the skin which removes the outer layer of skin affected by sun damage which can improve fine to moderate wrinkles, age spots, uneven skin tone, sun-damaged skin, freckles, acne, or other facial scars.
Nonablative laser skin treatments also treat wrinkles, skin spots, wrinkles, and facial scarring by creating heat under the skin’s surface without resurfacing the skin. Nonablative laser treatments promote collagen production which produces skin-tightening giving your skin a youthful, healthy glow and anti-aging benefits!
What to Expect During and After Your Halo Laser Treatment
Before your Halo laser treatment, a topical anesthetic will be applied to the skin to slightly numb the area. Our handheld Halo hybrid fractional laser will be used to combine the benefits of an ablative and non-ablative laser to focus the laser’s energy towards the deeper collagen layer of the skin.
Your treatment will last around 30 – 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated and additional in-office time after the procedure should be considered. Redness, swelling, and warmth of the skin should be expected for a day or two post-procedure.
Forty-eight to seventy-two hours after the procedure patients will notice darker spots on the skin in the treatment area, this is the collagen layer of your skin is rejuvenated! Your skin will peel in the treated area and may last from 5 – 7 days and up to two weeks. During the first three months, we suggest a generous supply of sunscreen applied to the treated area.
How much does HALO laser treatment cost?
The cost of HALO laser treatment can vary based on the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions recommended, and the specific skin concerns being addressed. Because HALO is a customizable treatment that can be adjusted in intensity, pricing is tailored to your individual needs and desired level of correction. Many patients choose HALO for its ability to target multiple concerns at once, which can make it a valuable option for improving overall skin tone and texture in a single treatment plan.

During the treatment, you may experience a warm or prickling sensation, but most individuals find the treatment to be tolerable.
Can I use my normal skincare products after HALO laser treatment?
After HALO laser treatment, your skin will be more sensitive, so it is usually recommended to pause certain products, especially those with active ingredients, until your skin has healed. Our providers will guide you on when to safely resume your regular routine and which products to avoid temporarily.
Is HALO laser skin treatment safe for dark skin tones?
HALO can be safe for a range of skin tones when performed by an experienced provider who understands how to customize the treatment appropriately.

What’s the best time of year to get HALO laser skin treatment?
