HALO® by Sciton
_{Revolutionizing Laser Skin Resurfacing}

Are you looking to improve your skin’s appearance dramatically? Traditional skin treatments have provided limited results for many patients, making Halo® laser’s comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation a welcome advancement in aesthetic medicine.

Halo by Sciton is a fractional Erbium laser used to rejuvenate the face with less recovery time than many other treatments. HALO delivers deep dermal rejuvenation combined with epidermal renewal for superior results without significant downtime.

Because everyone has different skin care needs, Halo can address multiple complexion concerns at once, is incredible for patients with sun damage, and is a gentler alternative to traditional CO2 laser resurfacing.

While many patients see positive results after just one session, a series of treatments is often recommended for the best outcome. Each session is customized to your personal preferences and concerns. The initial results are visible just a few days after your first session.

What is Halo?

The Halo Laser is groundbreaking, combining both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths. This dual-wavelength technology makes it highly effective in simultaneously treating fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, enlarged pores and uneven skin texture. As the first of its kind, it offers deep skin resurfacing without the extensive downtime traditionally associated with laser treatments. For patients looking to refresh their skin, the Halo laser is an excellent option that delivers noticeable results with minimal recovery.

What Makes Halo Different?

Unlike traditional laser treatments that target only the surface or deeper layers of the skin, Halo is the first laser to do both. This dual action allows for enhanced results as it tackles skin concerns at different levels. The non-ablative wavelength rejuvenates skin at a deeper level, while the ablative wavelength resurfaces the skin’s outer layers. As a result, patients achieve dramatic improvements in skin quality with a reduced recovery time, making Halo an attractive choice for individuals with busy lifestyles.

_{Get back to your daily routine quickly}

See noticeable results within days, with continued improvement over time. The HALO treatment is more comfortable, with less downtime than traditional fractional resurfacing. Patients can resume daily activities within a few days without time-intensive post-care. Mild swelling and redness in the treated area will begin to subside 3-4 days after treatment.

Benefits of Halo Laser Skin Resurfacing

For those considering laser skin resurfacing in the Southern Indiana and Lexington areas, Halo offers a unique combination of benefits:

Customizable Treatment: Halo treatments can be tailored to each individual’s skin concerns. Whether you need a mild refresh or a more aggressive resurfacing, the settings can be adjusted for personalized results.
Minimal Downtime: Although more intense than other treatments, Halo’s healing time is much shorter than that of older laser technologies. Most patients experience redness and peeling for about 5-7 days, making it easy to fit into their schedules.
Long-lasting Results: Halo not only improves the skin immediately but also continues to stimulate collagen production for months after treatment. This helps to maintain a youthful, radiant complexion long after the procedure.
Safe for All Skin Types: With its advanced technology, the Halo laser can be safely used in a broader range of skin tones and types, making it more inclusive than traditional lasers that may pose risks to darker skin tones.
Comfortable Experience: Built-in cooling technology ensures maximum comfort during treatment.
Natural-Looking Results: Gradual improvement produces natural-looking enhancement that keeps people guessing.

The Treatment Process

When you visit A Woman’s Touch MD for Halo laser treatment, you can expect a thorough and comfortable experience starting with your comprehensive consultation. During this initial visit, we assess your skin, review your history and discuss your goals to determine your optimal treatment approach.

The treatment process includes:

Consultation: A detailed skin analysis using advanced diagnostic techniques to evaluate your concerns and develop your personalized treatment plan.
Preparation: Application of topical numbing cream and careful cleansing of the treatment area.
Treatment: The Halo handpiece is rolled across the skin, delivering precise energy to targeted areas, while built-in cooling technology ensures your comfort.
Recovery Plan: Detailed instructions for post-treatment care to optimize your results and minimize recovery time.

Results and Expectations

While some patients notice improvement in their skin’s appearance within days, the full benefits of Halo laser treatment continue to develop over time. As your skin is healing and producing new collagen, you may experience:

Improved skin tone and texture
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
Diminished sun damage and age spots
Smaller pore size Enhanced skin radiance
More even skin color Improved overall skin quality

These results typically last for years with proper skin care and sun protection. Many patients achieve their desired outcome with just one or two treatments, though individual results may vary based on specific skin concerns and treatment goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DOES HALO WORK?

HALO uses two distinct wavelengths, ablative and non-ablative, to target skin concerns on multiple levels. The treatment can eliminate years of sun damage by triggering your body’s natural healing response and reveal the HALO glow our patients can’t stop talking about. When included as part of a long-term skin maintenance plan, HALO improves skin texture and clarity of all skin types and may help delay or eliminate the need for surgical procedures in the future.

How many treatments do I need?

Dr. Samuels and her team will discuss different courses of treatment. You may choose to receive one or two aggressive treatments or multiple gentler treatments to achieve the same goal over a longer period of time.

What does HALO feel like?

With a topical anesthetic and integrated cooling technology, patients typically experience very little discomfort. Most patients describe the treatment as a feeling of heat with mild prickling sensations but are generally comfortable. After treatment, most patients continue to feel warm for 30-60 minutes or slightly longer with deeper treatment levels.

How long will my results last?

Your HALO results will last for years, but you should protect your skin at all times with UV sunscreen. With each additional HALO treatment, you’ll experience continued improvement and healthier, more youthful-looking skin.

What to Expect During Your Halo Laser Treatment

Before your Halo treatment, a thorough consultation will determine the details of your personal laser journey. On the day of your procedure, we do all we can too ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. The Halo laser device uses a handpiece rolled across the skin, emitting both wavelengths of energy. While the treatment is relatively comfortable, you may feel a slight warming sensation and a prickling feeling on your skin. After the treatment, your skin may feel hot for a few hours, similar to a slight sunburn. This is normal and part of the healing process. Over the next few days, your skin will begin to peel, revealing fresh, radiant skin underneath. It’s important to follow aftercare instructions closely, including wearing a mineral-based sunscreen to protect your newly treated skin.

What is the Long-Term Care and Maintenance?

Most patients will need a series of Halo treatments to achieve optimal results. While some improvement is visible after one session, a series of 2-3 treatments spaced several weeks apart will give you the best outcome. After completing your initial series, annual maintenance treatments are recommended to keep your skin looking youthful and healthy.
