HALO is a hybrid fractional laser treatment that offers a breakthrough for multiple skin conditions, including wrinkles, acne scars, age spots, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores. The dual lasers work together to target both deep and superficial skin damage, resulting in tighter and visibly rejuvenated skin. The procedure takes about one hour to complete in-office, and significant results can be expected from a single HALO treatment. There is about a 10-day downtime, during which patients experience swelling and flaky skin, to be followed by smoother, tighter, radiant skin.

Collagen stimulation continues for months, supporting lasting, youthful skin
HALO Fractionated Resurfacing is the ultimate skin rejuvenation treatment, designed to eliminate minor imperfections while refining skin texture for a radiant and youthful glow. This revolutionary hybrid fractional laser is the first of its kind, seamlessly blending ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to resurface both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin. Unlike traditional laser treatments, HALO delivers approximately 25 to 30 percent skin resurfacing in just a single session, compared to only 5 percent from standard treatments. This makes it an advanced solution for deep dermal rejuvenation.
This luxurious laser treatment effectively targets skin concerns such as sun damage, acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin tone. It also enhances collagen production, promoting epidermal renewal for a smoother, more refined complexion. The HALO laser is safe and effective for all skin types, including darker skin tones, as it features motion-tracking technology that precisely scans and treats areas often overlooked by other resurfacing methods.
The healing process is swift, with visible signs of improvement appearing as soon as the skin begins to regenerate. Post-treatment, patients often experience microscopic epidermal necrotic debris, which sheds naturally, unveiling healthy skin with improved skin tone and texture. As the skin heals, continued collagen production enhances long-term rejuvenation, leaving behind a refreshed, youthful glow.

The HALO laser simultaneously emits two classes of laser light to fractionally resurface the skin. The treatment is virtually painless and typically takes 20 minutes to an hour to complete. Refer to the sections below for a more detailed rendition of the treatment process.

Treatment is profitable for any individual seeking a youthful appearance with significant improvements in overall skin health and texture.
HALO Fractionated Resurfacing is not recommended for patients who have undergone chemotherapy or other radiation treatments. The treatment can be extremely damaging for weakened skin post-radiation.



Patients will experience a noticeable improvement in skin texture within three to five days of their initial HALO treatment, with more noticeable results appearing within two to three months. This skin rejuvenation method provokes elevated collagen production for six months after treatment. With proper skin care and UV protection, HALO results can last for years.
The cost of your HALO treatment varies based on your desired treatment area(s), provider, procedure length, and severity of the skin. Please schedule a consultation for a comprehensive evaluation of your skin condition and a more detailed pricing structure.

The side effects of the HALO fractionated resurfacing treatment are typically part of the body’s natural healing process. After the skin has fully healed, it will continue to form new collagen for 2 to 3 months.
We do not recommend HALO laser treatment for individuals who are currently undergoing chemotherapy or any other radiation therapy. It is important to note that the HALO laser may affect tattoos or hair located in the targeted treatment area.
Patients can observe visible skin improvement within 3 to 5 days of treatment. Results will continue to improve for six months as HALO promotes enhanced collagen production. With proper skin care and sun protection, results can last for years.
Hybrid fractional laser technology allows the HALO treatment to effectively resurface 25-30% of the skin after a single treatment, compared to 5% resurfacing of other lasers. Treatment is virtually painless, requires minimal downtime, and results can last years with proper skin care protection.
The HALO laser utilizes ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, while Fraxel emits solely ablative wavelengths. The HALO device is currently the preferred skin rejuvenating solution as it provides vast improvements to the superficial and deep layers of the skin.
Fractional resurfacing with HALO laser technology provides substantial results for years to come. The combination of ablative and non-ablative wavelengths stimulates enhanced collagen production six months after treatment.
Laser resurfacing procedures have produced far superior results than chemical peels. Laser treatments are more precise and can penetrate the deeper layers of the skin to provoke the healing process and enhance natural collagen production.
Your provider will apply a local anesthetic before treatment to reduce discomfort. Patients may experience mild heat or “tingling” sensations, but many report little to no discomfort.
The ideal age for a HALO laser treatment varies, but most patients benefit from it in their 20s to 60s, depending on their skin concerns. Younger individuals use it for preventative care and acne scars, while older patients seek it for skin rejuvenation, fine lines, and sun damage correction.
