Some patients will benefit from an active home treatment program; others will need a combination of microdermabrasion with acne peels, for non-inflammatory type acne. The patient with inflammatory acne with pustules and deep cysts will require phototherapy with Blu-U photodynamic therapy, laser or intense pulsed light in red spectrum for thermal shrinking of the sebaceous glands.* For acne scars, we offer micro laser peel or fractional laser, dermal fillers, subcision, and grafting.
Acne affects 80% o the population at some time during their life, from adolescence to adulthood. It usually appears on the face, chest, back and limbs and can produce life-long scars, physically and emotionally.
There are several defects that contribute to the development of acne and are targets for specific treatments; 1) increase in sebum production, 2) hypercornifcation of the pilosebaceaus duct, with decreasing exfoliation, 3) increase proliferation of P. bacterium acne and 4) inflammation with development of pustules, cysts and nodule formation.
Some patients have only limited non-inflammatory lesions during puberty while others have deep inflamed lesions with multiple locations on the face and the body that may last well into adulthood. Acne has very different responses to treatment. Some patients respond in the first or second month, while most may take more into 4 months to improve. Over the past several years more and more patients have a high failure rate if only one type of treatment is used once to development of resistance. Others develop side effects such as irritation to gels or creams, gastrointestinal problems or systemic reactions to oral medications or resistance to antibiotics.
FAQ's
Every Halo treatment is customized for your skin and your lifestyle. Depending on your needs and the area, the cost may vary, we may recommend a single treatment, or a series of 2 treatments.

With the topical anesthetic Dr. Laronn uses and the integrated cooling technology, most patients experience very little to no discomfort. Most patients describe the treatment as a feeling of heat, but are generally comfortable.
One of the things that makes Halo so revolutionary is the minimal downtime! After the first 24 hours your skin will begin to peel, but you will be able to put on makeup. After two to three days you will develop a light bronzing appearance. By day three or four your skin will peel, revealing your new skin beneath. At Laronn Clinique, we typically tell patients to expect 2-4 days of downtime.
