Halo combines the power of ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in one advanced laser treatment:

• Ablative wavelengths remove damaged layers of skin, improving tone and texture.
• Non-ablative wavelengths stimulate collagen production, tighten the skin, and promote long-term regeneration.

This two-in-one approach targets skin damage you can see and damage beneath the surface, delivering beautiful, lasting results. Halo strikes the perfect balance: dramatic results with minimal downtime.

Ideal Candidates for Halo

Halo is ideal for women and men seeking to improve:

• Discoloration
• Uneven texture
• Early signs of aging

To be a good candidate, patients must be in good health and have realistic expectations. While Halo delivers a youthful, revitalized glow, it does not replace surgical procedures like a facelift or neck lift. Results are unique to each individual, as they depend on your body’s natural healing process.

For enhanced outcomes, Halo can also be combined with complementary treatments like Moxi and Sylfirm X.

A: Yes! Halo pairs beautifully with other facial rejuvenation procedures to maximize your results.

Q: Is it normal to get breakouts after a HALO laser treatment?

A: Yes, it is not uncommon to experience breakouts after a HALO laser treatment. This can happen for several reasons:

• Skin Purging: The laser stimulates cell turnover, which can bring clogged pores and impurities to the surface, resulting in temporary breakouts.
• Post-Treatment Products: The heavy moisturizers or occlusive products often recommended for healing can occasionally clog pores, especially if you're prone to acne. Follow with our customized EOL post-care kit.
• Inflammation or Stress on the Skin: The skin’s natural healing process after the treatment can sometimes trigger inflammation, which may lead to breakouts.
• Pre-existing Acne Prone Skin: If you have a history of acne or are prone to breakouts, your skin may react more strongly during the healing process.
