Halo® is a hybrid fractional laser that combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to target skin at multiple depths in a single treatment. This technology allows for comprehensive rejuvenation, addressing texture, tone, and early signs of aging – with less downtime than traditional resurfacing lasers.
Your provider will start with a detailed consultation to evaluate your skin and discuss your goals. Halo is ideal for clients seeking more dramatic skin improvement without the extended recovery time of fully ablative lasers. Together, you’ll create a plan that fits your needs and schedule.

Treatment
Topical numbing is applied for comfort. During the session, you may feel a warm, prickling sensation as the laser is passed over the skin. Treatments typically take 60-90 minutes, depending on the area. You can expect redness, swelling, and visible peeling over the following days as your skin renews.

Results
Improvement can be visible as soon as 2-5 days after your treatment, with the most noticeable pigment correction typically appearing in the first 2-4 weeks, and deeper skin regeneration continuing over the following months. With sun protection and regimented skin care, results can last for years.
Your Questions, Answered
What skin concerns can Halo treat?
Halo is effective for sun damage, enlarged pores, uneven tone, acne scars, fine lines, and mild skin laxity. It’s one of the most versatile laser treatments available.
How is Halo different from other lasers?
Unlike single-mode lasers, Halo combines two wavelengths to treat both the surface and deeper layers of the skin simultaneously. This means more dramatic results with less downtime than traditional fully ablative lasers.
Does a Halo treatment hurt?
With a topical numbing cream and cooling technology in the machine, most clients find the treatment manageable. You may feel a warm, prickling sensation during the session, followed by lingering heat for 30-60 minutes afterward, occasionally longer with deeper treatments. Overall, discomfort is minimal and well-tolerated.
What’s the downtime like?
Most clients experience redness, swelling, and peeling for about 5-7 days. You may feel like you’ve had a sunburn for the first 24 hours. Avoid sun exposure during the healing period, and follow aftercare instructions carefully to support recovery.
Is Halo safe for all skin types?
Your provider will evaluate your skin tone and type during your consultation to ensure safety and customize the treatment settings accordingly.
Can I get Halo while pregnant or breastfeeding?
