What Can I Expect From My HALO® Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment?

HALO laser skin resurfacing effectively improves skin concerns such as dark spots, fine lines, acne scars, and texture issues. With this customizable hybrid treatment, you can expect to experience the “HALO glow”—skin that looks more radiant, smooth, and youthful.

HALO is a hybrid fractional laser that delivers ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to your skin’s outer and inner layers. The combination of these 2 wavelengths addresses various skin issues with minimal downtime, encouraging new skin cell growth and promoting collagen production. During your HALO procedure:

  • Your provider will cleanse and apply a numbing agent to your skin.
  • You may feel a prickling sensation and notice some redness when the laser is applied, but these symptoms will subside quickly.
  • After treatment, you will have some peeling and crusting for the first few days. You should avoid scratching or rubbing your skin while it heals.

You may see an improvement in your skin within a couple of days, but it can take up to a few weeks to see complete results. Your skin needs time to produce new collagen and elastin before you can enjoy your new youthful glow. Your HALO results are long-lasting with proper skin care, but you can have touch-up treatments as needed to maintain your glow. Take a look at our patients’ before and after photos to see HALO results.
