HALOโข Hybrid Fractional Laser
Transform your skin with the best of BOTH worlds in ONE treatment! HALOโข combines the synergistic benefits of both ablative and non-ablative laser rejuvenation to improve skinโs texture and tone with minimal downtime dramatically.
HALOโข, by Scitonยฎ, is the worldโs first hybrid laser treatment that combines two types of wavelengths, non-ablative and ablative, to achieve transformational results with minimal downtime. This feature allows patients to enjoy the dramatic effects of ablative laser resurfacing without the discomfort and lengthy downtime traditionally associated with this procedure. Also, patients reap the benefits of non-ablative lasers without the need for multiple sessions. The HALOโข treatment diminishes the appearance of the fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation, even hormonally induced melasma. It is also an effective treatment for acne scarring, rough skin texture, and enlarged pores.
HALOโข Hybrid Fractional Laser Overview
Unlike any other treatment available today, HALOโข is completely customizable depending on the patientโs desired downtime and outcome. The laser has a dynamic thermal optimization (DTO) technology which allows your provider to precisely control the laserโs energy and modify the depth and temperature of your treatment. Dual wavelengths allow for deep dermal regeneration and epidermal surface renewal. Because treatments are uniquely adjusted to you and your skin, outcomes are very safe and consistent. HALOโข is targeted at the exact depth and level that your skin needs and the amount of downtime you desire!
Ideal Candidates For HALOโข Hybrid Fractional Laser Treatment
If you want to rejuvenate your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, you are a good candidate for HALOโข treatments. If you have uneven skin tone or discoloration, you may undergo this fractional laser treatment to gain back your youthful glow. A HALOโข treatment is also recommended if you have enlarged pores.
It is important to have realistic expectations and a positive attitude before you undergo this cosmetic treatment.
Your HALOโข Hybrid Fractional Laser Treatment Consultation
During your consultation, you will be physically examined to determine the proper approach for your concerns. Then, a discussion of your medical history will take place. This will include past or present medical conditions, current medications, and recent cosmetic treatments. Before-and-after photographs may be taken for comparison.
The HALOโข Procedure
As with all of our treatments, your certified laser technician will discuss adequately preparing your skin for treatment and ensure that you are a good candidate for HALOโข. A numbing cream will be applied to your skin before your procedure to keep you comfortable, although most patients only cite mild discomfort, almost like a prickling sensation with heat. Next, a small handpiece will be evenly rolled over your skin as the laser energy penetrates through your skinโs dermal layer. Treatment time, including numbing, takes less than an hour to perform.

HALOโข Hybrid Fractional Laser Treatment Aftercare
Immediately after your HALOโข treatment, your skin may appear slightly flushed and feel tight, like a light sunburn. Your provider will recommend specific aftercare products to ensure safe recovery and enhance healing. You will also be advised to wear a physical sunscreen of at least SPF 30 the month following your procedure.
Depending on the depth of your treatment, you may notice light flaking within two days. It is important not to pick at this skin, as new, fresh, luminous skin lies just underneath! Over the next several weeks you will see continued improvement in the skinโs texture and tone, with full results observed at three months after treatment. If damage lies more buried in the skin, or you wish for intensified results, your provider may recommend a series of 2 or 3 HALOโข treatments for an optimal outcome. She may also suggest complementary therapies such as ForeverYoungโข BBL to enhance skinโs tone further.
