HALO® is a comprehensive hybrid fractional laser treatment for skin revitalization, resulting in a noticeable enhancement in your skin’s condition. This includes minimizing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, shrinking pores, enhancing skin radiance and luminosity, and effectively reducing skin discoloration.
Please note, that all laser treatments performed at VAIN require an initial in-person consultation with the provider prior to booking. All HALO®/BBL® appointments must be scheduled by calling 978-409-2230.
THE VAIN GLOW WITH HALO®
This hybrid fractional laser is suitable for most skin types. While ablative procedures tend to be more invasive and usually entail extended recovery periods, non-ablative treatments may not deliver the desired results for some patients. HALO® seamlessly integrates both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to provide impressive outcomes with minimal downtime. This includes a significant reduction in sunspots, fine lines, wrinkles, skin dullness, and other imperfections.
By utilizing a topical anesthetic and incorporating advanced cooling technology, patients typically encounter minimal discomfort during the procedure. The majority of patients describe the sensation as warmth with occasional tingling sensations, resulting in an overall comfortable experience. Following the treatment, patients may continue to experience warmth for an additional 30 to 60 minutes, or slightly longer in cases of deeper treatment levels.
After your HALO® treatment, you can expect to notice initial results within a range of two to five days, with ongoing improvements in your skin’s condition. The majority of patients observe the most significant enhancement in skin pigmentation within the initial two to three weeks. This is succeeded by a phase of dermal regeneration that continues to advance over the course of several months.
The results achieved through HALO® are long-lasting, spanning several years, provided that you consistently shield your skin from UV rays by using sunscreen and other forms of sun protection. Subsequent HALO® treatments will lead to ongoing enhancements, resulting in healthier and more youthful-looking skin. Every HALO® treatment is tailored to suit your specific skin type and lifestyle. Depending on your individual requirements, your provider may suggest one or more treatment sessions.
