HALOTM is a hybrid fractional resurfacing laser that can sequentially utilise two wavelengths in its delivery, non-ablative (1470nm) and ablative (2940nm) to the same microscopic treatment zone to maximise results and minimise downtime.
HALOTM is a hybrid fractional resurfacing laser that can sequentially utilise two wavelengths in its delivery, non-ablative (1470nm) and ablative (2940nm) to the same microscopic treatment zone to maximise results and minimise downtime. This means, it resurfaces the top layer of skin (epidermis) and the thick layer of tissue under the epidermis (dermis). HALOTM is able to resurface about 25-30% of the skin, while most others resurface about 5%..
HALOTM precisely targets areas of concern, including:
- Hyperpigmentation
- Melasma
- Sun damage
- Visible signs of aging
- Enlarged pores
- Overall skin quality and texture
You will likely see the initial results between two and five days after your HALOTM treatment, but your skin will continue to improve over time. Most people see the greatest pigmentary improvement in the first two to three weeks. This is followed by a dermal regeneration phase that continues to improve for months with an overall improvement in your skin, including a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, reduced pore size, improved skin reflectivity and glow, and significant removal of discoloration. HALOTM results will last for long-term, but you should continue to keep your skin protected at all times using UV sunscreen to protect your new, healthy skin. Each additional HALOTM treatment you get will continue to improve the results.
What does it feel like? With a topical anaesthetic and integrated cooling technology, people typically experience very little discomfort. Most people describe the treatment as a feeling of heat with occasional prickling sensations but are generally comfortable. After the treatment, most people will continue to feel warm for 30 minutes to a few hours depending on the intensity of the treatment. There is downtime with the treatment, and this will depend on your histamine response. Some people experience swelling that peaks around 72 hours following treatment. Typically, there is a bronzing effect on the skin that will peel or flake off over days 3-5, revealing the revitalised skin underneath.
HALOTM (a hybrid fractional resurfacing laser) and BBL HEROic can be paired without additional downtime. Also achieving better results in the treatment of pigmentation, facial redness, and skin tone, along with results in Texture, pore size and general brightening of the skin. The devices, one being the latest in intense pulsed light therapy and the other the first of its kind hybrid fractional laser (ablative and non-ablative) stand on their own merits but used in combination they are the dream team of laser and light therapy technology.
There are always risks with any treatment and these will be discussed at your consultation (note: HALOTM treatment can only be booked after a consultation with our team), these include swelling (likely), hyperpigmentation, blistering, and burns/scarring. Note: all treatments require a consultation with our team first; to assess suitability and ensure you are fully informed about the potential risks and benefits of treatment.
