HALO (Hybrid Adjustable Laser Output) is a hybrid fractional laser that uses both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to improve overall skin quality. It helps address:

• Fine lines + wrinkles

• Sun damage

• Uneven pigmentation

• Enlarged pores

• Acne scars

HALO is great for a wide range of skin types. It’s ideal for patients looking to treat sun damage, improve texture, fade acne scarring, and achieve an overall brighter, more youthful complexion. Most patients notice a radiant glow a few weeks after treatment.

Downtime varies depending on treatment intensity, but typically expect:

• 5–7 days of moderate downtime

• Redness and swelling (sunburn-like) for the first few days

• Peeling or flaking as the skin renews (about 1 week)

• Possible MENDS (tiny dark spots) that fade over a few days to a week

• Warmth and a prickling sensation during the procedure

• Post-treatment redness, swelling, and tightness

• Gradual darkening of pigment spots before they flake away

• A smoother, more even, more radiant complexion in the weeks following treatment

• Continued collagen improvement over months

Proper skin prep is key. Prior to treatment:

• Complete a consultation with a licensed provider to ensure HALO is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.

• Use recommended skincare products to prep the skin and optimize results.

• Make any necessary lifestyle adjustments (sun avoidance, pausing certain skincare products, etc.).

• Consider professional exfoliation if your provider recommends preparing the skin beforehand.
