Experience the cutting-edge technology of the HALO hybrid fractional laser at Priority You MD. Our employment of HALO’s unique combination of ablative and non-ablative features allows us to resurface and tighten the skin while minimizing downtime and tailoring procedures to each individual patient.
HALO by Sciton stands as the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, offering both non-ablative and ablative wavelengths within the same treatment area. This innovative approach grants patients the benefits of more aggressive ablative laser treatments alongside the shorter downtime associated with non-ablative lasers. By targeting the skin’s outer layer (epidermis) and deeper layer (dermis), HALO effectively resurfaces and tightens the skin, enhancing texture and reducing discoloration.
HALO employs sophisticated technology to precisely gauge the amount of laser light pressure and frequency required to break down the damaged epidermis and stimulate new growth. It’s a safe, effective, and well-tolerated procedure by patients.
Individuals of all skin types, both women and men, concerned about their skin’s health and appearance can benefit from the HALO hybrid laser treatment. Besides the face, HALO is suitable for improving the appearance of the neck, chest, arms, hands, and legs. Common skin concerns treated by HALO include uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, wrinkles, scarring, sun damage, and pigmented lesions.
The treatment begins with the application of a topical numbing cream to the treatment area, ensuring patient comfort throughout. HALO’s integrated cooling technology further minimizes discomfort, with most patients experiencing only mild heat or occasional prickling sensations during the procedure. Typically, HALO treatments are more comfortable than traditional laser skin resurfacing methods.
– More comfortable than traditional fractional resurfacing
– Rapid healing
– Minimal social downtime
– Noticeable improvement within weeks
– No post-treatment dressing required
Expect the procedure to last approximately an hour, varying based on the treated areas. Following the procedure, temporary redness, swelling, and sensitivity may occur for about 2 to 4 hours. The ”downtime” with HALO is expected to be approximately 2-3 days with peeling on day 2 -3.
The number of treatments required depends on individual goals and the extent of sun damage. Patients may opt for 1 or 2 deeper, more aggressive treatments or choose multiple less-aggressive sessions over time. We recommend HALO laser skin resurfacing once per year, though many patients opt for treatment every 6 months.
Combining HALO with other skin rejuvenation procedures allows for targeted treatment of specific skin concerns while providing overall revitalization and renewal. For instance, combining Forever Young BBL HERO™ with HALO enables aggressive treatment of hyperpigmentation while enhancing skin texture and tone. These can be done on the same day.
