HALO® by Sciton
Understanding HALO
HALO is a revolutionary hybrid fractional laser treatment that combines ablative and non-ablative technologies to deliver comprehensive skin rejuvenation. This innovative approach targets both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, effectively addressing a wide range of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. By stimulating collagen production and removing damaged skin cells, HALO helps to improve skin texture, clarity, and overall radiance.
Treatment Overview
A HALO treatment typically involves a consultation to assess your skin condition and treatment goals. The procedure itself begins with cleansing the skin and applying a topical anesthetic. The laser handpiece is then gently moved across the treatment area, delivering precise pulses of laser energy. The treatment time varies depending on the size of the area being treated but usually takes about 30-60 minutes. Following the procedure, the skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. It's essential to follow post-treatment care instructions, including avoiding sun exposure and using gentle skincare products.

FAQs
While there may be a sensation of warmth or mild discomfort during the treatment, most patients describe it as tolerable. The use of a topical anesthetic helps to minimize any discomfort. The overall experience is designed to be comfortable, and many patients find the results well worth the brief period of sensation.
HALO typically involves a downtime of 5-7 days, during which the skin may appear red and slightly swollen. It's important to avoid sun exposure and use gentle skincare products during this period. Most patients can resume their normal activities after a few days, with the skin gradually returning to its natural appearance.
The number of HALO treatments required varies depending on individual skin concerns and desired outcomes. While some patients may see significant improvement with a single treatment, a series of treatments is often recommended for optimal results. Your skincare provider will be able to recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your specific needs.
