What is Halo?

Halo precisely targets years of damage to your skin, including:

• FRECKLES, SUN DAMAGE, & AGE SPOTS
• UNEVEN SKIN TONE INCLUDING MELASMA
• REDNESS & ROSACEA
• ENLARGED PORES & EXCESSIVE OIL PRODUCTION
• TEXTURE INCLUDING FINE LINES AND WRINKLES
• ACTIVE ACNE & ACNE SCARS

The most common areas include the face, neck, chest, and hands.

A topical anesthetic and integrated cooling technology are used so most patients experience very little discomfort. Most patients describe the treatment as a feeling of heat with occasional prickling sensations.

After the treatment, most patients will continue to feel warm for an additional 1-2 hours or longer with deeper treatment levels.

The appointment is scheduled for 2 hours, but the actual treatment time is only 10-30 minutes. This ensures you have adequate time to numb, ask questions, and discuss your goals without feeling rushed.

We typically recommend a halo treatment on a yearly basis.  If there is a prominent amount of texture and hyperpigmentation, a series of halo treatments may be recommended initially. 

We also offer Halo with PRP (see add-on pricing), which uses the growth factors from your own blood to produce even greater results! Prior to treatment, we’ll draw your blood and then have it spun down in a special centrifuge to extract the PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). These growth factors contain regenerative properties that can help to further stimulate collagen and repair.

The PRP is applied immediately following your Halo treatment, allowing the skin to absorb it while you cool down afterward.

BBL (BroadBand Light) Hero uses pulsed light energy and is not an actual laser treatment. It’s great for targeting hyperpigmentation, rosacea, acne, facial veins, and more surface-level skin concerns. It is non-invasive, with no downtime, and works to slow cellular aging.

Moxi a non-ablative laser treatment, meaning it does not remove the top layer of skin but rather targets the dermal layer beneath it. Moxi aims to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking more gentle rejuvenation and the prevention of future signs of aging.

Halo is a hybrid fractional laser treatment that combines both non-ablative and ablative wavelengths, making it unique in treating multiple skin layers simultaneously (mean both the skin surface and underlying layers). It creates micro-injuries in the skin, prompting the body’s natural healing response, leading to collagen production and regeneration of healthier skin cells.

You will work with one of our providers to decided which of these treatments is right for you based on your individual goals and skin concerns!

For a full list of pre-care steps, please refer to your patient portal. A brief rundown includes:

• Stop Retinol 5-7 days before Halo
• No active tan or recent sun exposure
• People prone to cold sores need pre-treatment with an antiviral medication
• People prone to acne need pre-treatment with an antibiotic
• Wear sunscreen every day

For a full post-treatment plan, please refer to your patient portal. A brief rundown includes:

• Sleep in an elevated position for the first 2-3 nights
• Do not scratch or exfoliate your skin until MENDS exfoliate off naturally
• Avoid the sun and strenuous exercise until the skin has completely healed
• Use provided skincare kit daily

Results can be seen 7-10 days post-treatment.  The skin will continue to improve weeks to months after your halo treatment as collagen stimulation still occurs.

For more information, please refer to your patient portal. Our licensed providers will work with you to minimize discomfort and/or side effects.

• Redness (first 48 hours)
• MENDS (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) will appear on days 3-7
• Pinpoint bleeding during treatment
• Swelling/edema, most commonly around the eyes

A skincare consultation is required before Halo can be scheduled. Halo is a good option for men and women who are looking for radiant, healthy skin. There are a few people Halo is not appropriate for:

• Pregnant or breastfeeding women
• Anyone who has taken Accutane (or its generic forms) within the last year
• Anyone on anticoagulants
