Halo Laser San Francisco
What Is Halo™ Laser Treatment?
Halo™ laser treatment is a innovative skin resurfacing treatment that combines both ablative and non-ablative laser technology. Unlike traditional laser treatments, the Halo hybrid fractional laser targets both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. This dual approach improves skin texture, reduces fine lines, and helps with multiple skin concerns like acne scars, sun damage, and enlarged pores.
Many people seek out the Halo glow laser because it delivers noticeable skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. The treatment helps to improve skin texture, brighten skin tone, and promote collagen production for long-term improvements. Since it uses hybrid fractional laser energy, it provides better results than many older skin treatment modalities.
How Does Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser Work?
The Halo hybrid fractional laser combines two types of laser energy in one treatment. The ablative laser removes damaged skin cells from the surface, while the non-ablative laser penetrates the deeper layers to stimulate collagen production. This dual process helps with skin clarity, fine lines, photodamage and signs of aging.
After a topical anesthetic is used, the laser device creates tiny micro-channels in the skin to trigger the body’s natural skin healing process. Over time, the skin beneath becomes firmer, healthier, and more radiant. Since Halo laser resurfacing targets multiple depths, it can address multiple skin concerns in one session.
Treatment Areas
Halo laser treatment is commonly used on the face, but it is also effective on other areas prone to sun damage. The neck, chest, and hands are popular options for those looking to improve skin brightness and texture. Some patients also opt for treatments on the arms and legs to improve skin texture and reduce pigmentation from sun damage.
Because the Halo laser procedure is customizable, it can be adjusted for different skin types. Those with sensitive skin or deeper treatment levels can benefit from the integrated cooling technology built into the laser device. This keeps the skin protected while minimizing discomfort.
Halo Laser Treatment Benefits
Halo laser resurfacing is a powerful option for improving a wide range of skin concerns. It helps reduce fine lines, acne scars, and pore size while also addressing uneven skin tone. This makes it an excellent choice for people looking for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
The treatment can also help with skin laxity and signs of aging by stimulating collagen production. Over time, this leads to smoother, stronger skin and a youthful glow. The combination of ablative and non-ablative laser energy means that a single Halo treatment can produce results comparable to multiple laser treatments.
Halo Laser Recovery
Most patients experience some redness and swelling during the Halo laser healing process. Swelling, redness and MENDs (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) are a normal part of the healing process as the body works to repair the skin beneath. Some people notice a light bronzing appearance on the skin due to MENDs which appear as tiny dark dots on the skin surface and typically go away within a few days.
The swelling typically subsides within a week, and skin appearance improves as the healing continues. During this time, it’s essential to avoid sun exposure and follow aftercare instructions to both keep the skin protected and optimize results.
Halo Laser Cost
Halo treatments are customized, and the cost will therefore be different for each patient. It typically depends on your unique concerns and treatment areas in addition to the extent of treatment needed. Factors like deeper treatment levels and the number of sessions required can influence pricing. Book a consultation to learn more about the cost.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What does a Halo laser do?
The Halo laser is a hybrid fractional laser that improves skin texture, fine lines, and multiple skin concerns. It uses both ablative and non-ablative laser energy to target the surface and deeper layers of the skin. Most patients find that their Halo laser results enhance skin clarity and promote collagen production for long-lasting benefits.
Is Halo laser worth the money?
For many people, Halo laser resurfacing is worth the money because it delivers significant improvement in skin appearance and health with minimal downtime compared to other ablative lasers on the market. The treatment effectively reduces sun damage, enlarged pores, and acne scars while promoting smoother skin and long-term collagen production.
Which is better, Halo or Fraxel?
Halo laser treatment and Fraxel both improve skin conditions, but they use different technologies. Halo is a hybrid fractional laser, meaning it combines ablative and non-ablative laser energy, while Fraxel is strictly non ablative. Many patients prefer Halo because it provides deeper treatment levels and a more comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.
What is the usual Halo laser downtime?
Most patients experience minimal downtime after a single Halo treatment. The initial redness and swelling subside within a few days, and the skin begins to peel as it heals.
Halo vs CO2 laser: Which is better?
Both Halo and CO2 laser resurfacing can improve skin conditions, but they work differently. CO2 lasers are fully ablative, meaning they remove the top layer of skin entirely, while Halo is a hybrid fractional laser that treats both the surface and deeper layers.
