About Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser skin resurfacing is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses laser energy to improve the appearance and health of the skin. By removing the top layer of damaged skin, laser skin resurfacing promotes the growth of new, healthy skin cells, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone and texture.

With many different types of laser skin resurfacing treatments available, the HALO laser stands out as one of the most advanced and effective options. Unlike other laser skin resurfacing treatments, the HALO laser uses two types of laser energy to penetrate the skin at different depths, allowing for a more precise and effective treatment.

What is the HALO Laser Used for?

The HALO Laser is a versatile treatment that can be used to address a variety of skin concerns, including:

  • Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Minimizing sun damage like age spots and freckles
  • Improving skin tone and texture
  • Reducing the appearance of acne scars
  • Improving the overall appearance and health of the skin
  • One of the biggest benefits of the HALO laser treatment is its minimal downtime. Unlike other laser skin resurfacing treatments that require days or even weeks of downtime, the HALO laser allows patients to resume their normal activities after just a few days.

    Is the HALO Laser painful?

    The HALO laser treatment is designed to be as comfortable as possible, although you may experience minimal pain or discomfort. Before the treatment begins, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the skin to help minimize any potential discomfort. Patients may feel a warm, prickling sensation on their skin during the treatment, but most are able to tolerate the procedure easily.

    Are There Any Side Effects or Risks of the HALO Laser?

    As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects and risks associated with the HALO laser; however, these are typically minimal and can be managed with proper care and attention. Some patients may experience some redness and swelling in the treated area immediately following treatment. This is normal and should subside within a few hours, up to a few days. Additionally, as the skin starts to heal after treatment, patients may experience peeling or flaking, which will also subside within a few days. It’s important to discuss any potential concerns over risks or side effects with your provider at Rowe Plastic Surgery before undergoing the HALO laser treatment. By carefully following your provider’s instructions to properly care for your skin after your treatment, you can help minimize any potential side effects and achieve the best possible results.

    Is HALO the Same as Laser Resurfacing?

    Yes, the HALO laser is a type of laser resurfacing treatment. Laser resurfacing is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance and health of the skin. Whether you choose the HALO laser or another type of laser resurfacing treatment, you can expect to see noticeable improvements in the overall tone, texture, and youthfulness of your skin.

    Am I a Candidate for the HALO Laser?

    The HALO laser is a safe and effective treatment for many individuals looking to improve the appearance and health of their skin. However, it’s important to schedule a consultation with a qualified provider at Rowe Plastic Surgery to determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment.

    Generally, good candidates for the HALO laser treatment include individuals who:

    1. Are looking to improve the overall appearance and health of their skin
    2. Have mild to moderate skin concerns, such as fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, acne scars, or uneven skin tone and texture
    3. Are in good overall health and free of any underlying medical conditions that may interfere with the treatment
    4. Are not pregnant or breastfeeding

    Results with the HALO Laser

    Many patients will begin to see results from the HALO laser treatment within a few days to a week following the procedure. However, the full results of the treatment may not be visible for several weeks as the skin continues to heal and new collagen production increases.

    Most patients will require multiple HALO laser treatments to achieve the best possible results. Your provider at Rowe Plastic Surgery will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that takes into account your individual skin concerns and goals.
