Glowing Skin with HALO Laser Treatments
In the quest for smooth, flawless skin, traditional options have often left patients facing tough choices: endure invasive procedures with lengthy downtime or settle for less effective, non-invasive treatments. Enter HALO, Sciton’s revolutionary hybrid fractional laser, offering a game-changing solution for anyone concerned about wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and enlarged pores. At Olympia Aesthetics med spa in Palm Harbor, Florida, we understand the difficulties and sensitivity of skin struggles and are here to provide you with the best treatment options available to meet your skincare goals.
What is a HALO Laser Treatment?
HALO redefines skin rejuvenation by merging ablative and non-ablative lasers into a single treatment. This unique fusion of wavelengths allows for comprehensive skincare addressing various concerns from aging to acne. Unlike its predecessors, HALO offers remarkable outcomes with minimal downtime, making it a top choice for individuals seeking radiant, youthful skin quickly.
HALO laser treatments effectively address a multitude of skin concerns including:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Sun damage and dyschromia
- Acne scars
- Signs of aging
- Pigmented lesions
- Enlarged pores
- Skin texture
One of the critical advantages of HALO is its compatibility with all skin types and can be performed on various body areas including the neck, chest, arms, and legs.
Gone are the days of getting repeat treatments every few weeks. Results from a HALO laser treatment typically become noticeable within the first 5 to 7 days, with continued improvement over time, particularly in skin tightening, which may take up to 6 months to fully develop.
To maintain the highest degree of anti-aging and skincare effects, undergoing a HALO laser treatment annually is recommended, along with consistent sun protection measures like sunscreen and covering up from the sun to safeguard your skin from UV damage.
How HALO Treatments Work
HALO utilizes two wavelengths to create the ideal laser treatment: an ablative laser that works on the surface of the skin and a non-ablative laser that targets the deeper levels of the skin. When used together, these two wavelengths work to stimulate collagen production and improve skin’s texture, signs of aging, enlarged pores, and hyperpigmentation. HALO triggers the body’s natural healing process through precise heat energy to unveil smoother, more youthful-looking skin after just one treatment.
Benefits of HALO Treatments:
- Comfortable Experience: HALO prioritizes patient comfort with its advanced cooling system that moderates the temperature of the treatment area to ensure a soothing treatment journey.
- Minimal Downtime: No need to hide away after your laser treatment and say goodbye to lingering discomfort. With a HALO laser treatment, you can resume normal daily activities within days, showing off your new, radiant HALO glow.
- Visible Results: Experience noticeable improvements to your skin within just days with continued enhancement over time.
The HALO Treatment Experience
Before embarking on your HALO laser treatment journey, an Olympia Aesthetics med spa provider will apply a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort during your entire treatment session. During your treatment, the HALO laser handpiece will glide over your skin, adjusting the cooling settings to ensure that your skin does not become too warm throughout your procedure. During your post-treatment, you may experience some warmth on your skin that feels akin to a mild sunburn. In only a few short days, you’ll show off your radiant HALO glow to the world.
Post-Treatment Care After HALO Laser Treatment
Following a HALO laser treatment, it is important to embrace a skincare routine that is tailored to nurture your newly revitalized skin. It is normal to expect some initial side effects such as warmth and pin-point bleeding, and these side effects usually resolve quickly. Redness, itching, and flaking may occur over the next day or two with redness lasting up to a week.
Post-treatment care may involve using gentle cleansing and moisturizing products along with any prescribed medications like oral medications or steroids if needed. It is advised to avoid using regular skincare products or harsh chemicals on the skin for at least five days after your HALO laser treatment. When applying cleansers and moisturizers, be gentle with your skin, as it may experience irritation and inflammation after treatment. Once redness has subsided, it is recommended to wear sunscreen whenever you are outside and to avoid direct sunlight as much as possible.
Side Effects of HALO Laser Treatments
After undergoing a HALO laser treatment, it’s common to experience temporary side effects which may include redness, swelling, and tightness at the treatment sight that typically diminish after a few days. Additionally, bronzing and flaking of the skin may occur, but not to worry! These side effects indicate the renewal of your body’s skin cells.
While HALO laser treatments are generally considered safe treatment options for most individuals struggling with fine lines, texturized skin, and acne scars, infection is a possibility, especially with more intensive treatments. Developing cold sores and acne breakouts are potential side effects, and preventive medications or acne management strategies may be required if side effects persist.
Depending on your skin’s sensitivity and reaction to treatment, you may experience redness that could last for several weeks. Some individuals may also experience a flare of melasma or dark patches on the skin.
It’s important to understand that individual responses to HALO treatments vary, and there’s no guarantee of specific outcomes; however, discussing concerns and expectations with an Olympia Aesthetics provider can help to determine whether a HALO laser treatment is right for you.
