HALO skin laser is a treatment designed to give maximal results for skin rejuvenation. Halo does skin rejuvenation by resurfacing and tightening the skin while boosting the collagen renewal process. Halo does all of this while minimizing the intense downtime that can occur with other laser treatments. There are many great treatments out there but the downtime can be a put-off for some clients. With Halo, you get the best of both worlds: beautiful results with minimal downtime. A hybrid fractional laser, the Halo, minimizes recovery time by breaking laser light into many tiny beams, which leaves some skin intact and allows for faster recovery.
Halo Skin Laser Treatment
Every person heals differently but this is what you can normally expect days following the Halo procedure:
Day 1: You will be numbed for about an hour before the procedure. During the treatment, you will feel heat and a hot sensation. Most people don’t consider it painful but pretty uncomfortable. The Halo device has an integrated cooling air system that makes it a more comfortable during treatment. After treatment, skin will become red and hot, compared similarly to a sunburn feeling. If needed, cold compresses or ice packs may provide comfort during this time.
Day 2: Depending how intense your treatment was, you will have some redness and swelling. You will notice tiny dark spots of coagulated skin that gives your skin a more ‘bronzed’ appearance. Note, you will be recommended to use an enzyme cleanser that helps remove dead skin cells while nourishing, calming, and soothing even the most sensitive skin.
Day 3: During this time, your skin will be very dry and have a sandpaper texture and will begin to flake and peel. The damaged skin is working its way out of your body while new fresh skin makes its appearance. Itching most likely will occur and you’ll have some redness due to the new skin that is active.
Day 4: Some parts of skin might still feel a bit rough similar to a sandpaper texture. You might start to notice great improvement in the way your skin looks and feels.
Day 5-Day 7: Your face should be almost healed and minimal to no flaking at this point. Other parts of the body can take up to 2 more weeks to heal. You will be GLOWING and happy with the visible results. Even better news, because the collagen that is generated from the treatment won’t be fully visible for another 6 weeks or so, this will continue to improve the appearance of the skin even more.
