Pros

Customizable Treatment: HALO laser allows for precise customization, tailoring the treatment intensity to address your specific concerns and desired results.
Minimal Downtime: Unlike traditional ablative laser treatments, HALO laser offers minimal downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities sooner.
Enhanced Comfort: The integrated cooling technology of the HALO laser delivers a more comfortable treatment experience than other laser procedures.
Versatile Treatment: HALO laser can be used on multiple areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, and hands, providing comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Cons

Temporary Side Effects: After the treatment, you may experience temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, or mild peeling, which typically subside within a few days.
May Require Multiple Sessions: Depending on your specific goals, multiple HALO laser sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.
Higher cost: HALO laser is considered a premium treatment and may come with a higher price tag than other non-laser skin rejuvenation options.

What to Expect

HALO laser resurfacing is an outpatient procedure that lasts 15-30 minutes, depending on the treatment area and intensity.

Local anesthesia (topical numbing) are administered before the procedure.

The handheld laser device emits a powerful beam of light across the treatment area, followed by post-treatment moisturizing by coating the skin with ointment and dressings.

Recovery

Downtime varies from several days for fractional treatments to over two weeks for fully ablative ones. Swelling, scabbing, and discomfort are common during recovery. You can manage pain with over-the-counter or prescribed medication. Prescription steroids and ice packs help reduce swelling, and proper cleansing and moisturizing are crucial for healing. The skin may remain pink for weeks post-treatment, and sunscreen with SPF 30+ is essential when outdoors.

Results

Visible outcomes depend on treatment intensity and healing duration, which can take weeks for fractional treatments and months for fully ablative ones. Immediate improvements are seen post-healing, with enhanced collagen production leading to firmer skin over several months. Results can last several years with proper skin care and sun protection. To sustain long-term outcomes, clients may consider continuous laser treatments or other rejuvenation therapies.

Safety Profile

Sciton states that HALO suitable for all skin types, regardless of short or long wavelengths. The technology utilizes motion-tracking to assess the skin prior to treatment, allowing for precise targeting of imperfections located deep within the epidermis.

Nevertheless, it is advisable for individuals with darker skin tones to consult a provider with expertise in treating melanated skin with lasers in order to minimize the risk of potential complications.

Cost

The average cost of a HALO laser treatment typically ranges from $900 to $1,500. The price may vary depending on the settings used, with a lower cost associated with more conservative settings. Conversely, treating multiple areas during the same session may result in a higher overall cost.
