HALO® Laser

The world’s first Hybrid Fractional Laser for total skin transformation.

THE PRODUCT:

The HALO® laser by Sciton is a medical-grade breakthrough that delivers both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to the same microscopic treatment zone. This dual-action technology targets years of skin damage and visible signs of ageing simultaneously. HALO® provides the dramatic results of a deep resurfacing laser but with the significantly shorter recovery time usually associated with much gentler treatments.

KEY BENEFITS

The HALO® laser is the gold standard for restoring your skin’s youthful glow. By precisely targeting damage in the deeper dermis while renewing the surface epidermis, it addresses everything from fine lines and large pores to significant sun damage and uneven texture. It is a highly customizable treatment that allows us to dial in the exact level of renewal your skin requires, providing maximum results in fewer sessions.

What is the HALO® Laser?

The HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser is a revolutionary medical-grade device from Sciton that combines two laser wavelengths to eliminate years of skin damage. It targets both the surface and deeper layers of the skin simultaneously to address various irregularities with precision.

Suitable for individuals concerned about Sun Damage, Deep Wrinkles & Large Pores with transformative results for all ages.

Deep Skin Resurfacing: The HALO® laser significantly improves the overall texture and tone of the skin, dramatically reducing the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles.
Advanced Pigment Correction: It effectively targets and eliminates stubborn sunspots, freckles, and actinic keratosis by renewing the skin layers.
Pore Size Reduction: A series of HALO® treatments can noticeably shrink large pores and improve skin reflectivity for a healthy, youthful glow.
Scars & Texture Improvement: The hybrid technology helps smooth out acne scars and uneven skin texture, enhancing the overall smoothness of your face or body.
Long-term Collagen Boost: While not its only function, HALO® triggers a massive production of new collagen that continues to improve skin density for months.

It can help with advanced skin ageing, deep pigmentation, and textural irregularities. Due to its hybrid technology, it is safer than traditional ablative lasers for a wider range of skin tones. The treatment is part of a high-impact plan, ideal for those seeking significant results in fewer sessions.

How it works:

It employs a hybrid fractional technology, delivering non-ablative and ablative wavelengths at the same time. Patients will feel a sensation of heat and occasional prickling. Integrated cooling technology and topical numbing are used to ensure a manageable and comfortable experience during the procedure.

Clinical studies on hybrid fractional technology show a remarkable improvement in skin tone and texture with a single HALO® treatment. The procedure is efficient, highly customizable, and designed for maximum comfort.

The procedure is swift, doesn't require anesthesia, and is not painful.

HALO® Laser Treatment Overview

Our HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser procedure is a sophisticated skin resurfacing experience tailored to your specific dermatological needs.

PRIOR TO THE TREATMENT

We perform a comprehensive skin analysis to calibrate the laser to your skin type. Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least 4 weeks before your session. Discontinue the use of retinoids and exfoliating acids 5 days prior to ensure skin stability.

DURING THE TREATMENT

Your eyes will be protected with safety shields. A powerful topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area for 45-60 minutes. The HALO® handpiece uses integrated cooling to protect the skin as it delivers dual-wavelength energy. The treatment time varies but usually takes 20-35 minutes depending on the area.

POST-TREATMENT

Your skin will feel very warm for 1-2 hours (like a heavy sunburn). We apply a soothing post-laser balm and a mineral SPF. Avoid intense heat (gym, saunas) for 72 hours. Keeping the skin hydrated and protected from the sun is vital for the best results.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE

Redness and swelling are expected for the first 2-3 days. Around day 3, “MENDs” (Microscopic Epidermal Necrotic Debris) will appear as tiny dark spots. Do not pick at your skin; these will naturally shed over the next 5-7 days, revealing your new, radiant complexion.

Who is it for?

Alright, so let’s talk about who can benefit most from our HALO® laser treatment. If you’re looking to address more significant concerns like deep wrinkles, enlarged pores, or stubborn sun damage, HALO® is your premier choice. Now, you might be wondering about the number of sessions. Because HALO® is so powerful, many patients achieve their goals in just 1 to 2 transformative sessions.

You see, our treatments are as unique as you are! Whether you’re in your thirties noticing the first real signs of environmental damage or in your golden years seeking a total skin reset, we can tailor the HALO® settings to fit your lifestyle.

It’s the gold standard for those who want maximum results with manageable downtime. If you’ve struggled with uneven skin texture or scarring, this is your secret weapon. HALO® doesn’t just treat the surface; it reaches deep to restore the skin you thought was gone forever!

How long until I see results?

Our HALO® Laser treatment provides a two-phase transformation. Immediately after the procedure, you’ll feel a significant warmth, but within a few days, the real magic begins. Your skin will undergo a deep renewal process, shedding old, damaged cells to reveal a vibrant, luminous complexion underneath.

As you reach day 3 to 5 post-treatment, your skin will develop MENDs—tiny bronzed spots where the laser has worked its magic. Once these naturally lift away by day 7, you’ll see a dramatic improvement in clarity.

The beauty of HALO®? The results actually improve over several months.

While the initial “HALO glow” is visible within a week, the deep collagen remodeling continues for up to six months. This means your skin keeps getting smoother, firmer, and more youthful long after you leave the clinic.

Referring to the clinical principles of hybrid fractional resurfacing, researchers have observed a significant regeneration of the dermal layers after treatment. By combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, the laser effectively rebuilds the skin's internal architecture, making aged tissue behave and look like much younger skin. Over a series of focused treatments, clinical observations show that the treated skin regains the density and elasticity of a more youthful state. It’s not just a surface-level fix; HALO® treatment provides deep-seated structural renewal, giving you a long-lasting, refreshed appearance. Isn't that fantastic?

HOW DOES A HALO® LASER TREATMENT WORK?

01.

Consultation (10-15 mins)

Your journey begins with a private consultation with our laser specialists. We use advanced skin imaging to map out your specific needs, ensuring the HALO® settings are perfectly calibrated for your skin’s thickness and degree of sun damage.

02.

On the Day (15-30 mins)

After capturing clinical photographs, we apply a medical-grade numbing cream for 45-60 minutes to ensure a comfortable experience. Once the skin is ready, the HALO® handpiece is guided over the treatment area. You will feel a warm, prickly sensation, but the integrated cooling system keeps the skin protected throughout the 20-30 minute procedure.

03.

Results

Initial warmth fades within hours, followed by a few days of specialized healing. By day 5-7, your old skin will have finished shedding, revealing a dramatic improvement in texture and glow. Results continue to enhance for up to 6 months as new collagen is formed.

HALO® Hybrid Laser vs Traditional Fractional Lasers

When it comes to advanced skin resurfacing, HALO® and traditional fractional lasers are the primary options. While they both create micro-channels to stimulate healing, HALO® is in a league of its own as the world’s first hybrid system. Traditional lasers are typically either ablative (deep but long recovery) or non-ablative (gentle but many sessions). HALO® eliminates this compromise by delivering both wavelengths simultaneously, allowing for a highly tailored treatment that matches your skin’s specific damage and your desired recovery timeline.

Compared to older, single-wavelength devices, HALO® is recognized for its unmatched precision and safety. It can deliver deep dermal rejuvenation and epidermal renewal in the same pass, significantly reducing the total number of sessions needed to see results. A standout feature of HALO® is its integrated cooling and intelligent energy delivery, which monitors the skin’s temperature in real-time. This level of control ensures uniform results and a much more comfortable experience than traditional resurfacing.

While traditional lasers can treat various conditions, the dual-action power and significantly shorter downtime offered by HALO® put it years ahead of conventional fractional treatments.

FAQ

Does HALO® laser treatment hurt?

With HALO®, your comfort is our priority! While it is a powerful resurfacing treatment, the integrated cooling technology and the application of a high-strength topical numbing cream ensure a manageable experience. You will feel a sensation of intense heat and some occasional prickling during the procedure, but this is fleeting. Post-treatment, your skin will feel like a sunburn for about 1–2 hours, which is perfectly normal. You’re in expert hands!

Do I need numbing cream for my HALO® laser treatment?

Yes, for the HALO® treatment, we apply a medical-grade topical numbing cream approximately 45 to 60 minutes before we begin. This is essential because HALO® reaches deeper layers of the dermis than standard lasers. This preparation ensures that you remain comfortable throughout the session while the hybrid technology works its magic.

Does HALO® Laser really work?

Absolutely. HALO® is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, meaning it delivers results that single-wavelength lasers simply cannot match. It is scientifically proven to improve skin texture, eliminate years of sun damage, and shrink pore size. Most patients see a dramatic difference after just one or two sessions, with skin health continuing to improve for months as new collagen is produced.

Which skin types are ideally suited for HALO® treatment?

One of the greatest breakthroughs of HALO® is its versatility. Unlike traditional ablative lasers that can be risky for darker skin, HALO’s hybrid technology allows us to customize treatments for a wide range of skin tones (Fitzpatrick types I-VI). It is ideal for anyone looking to treat fine lines, discoloration, or general skin ageing, regardless of the season.

Is skin tightening achievable with HALO®?

Yes! While HALO® is primarily known for resurfacing and texture, the deep dermal heating it provides triggers a robust “wound-healing” response. This stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which leads to increased skin density and a noticeable tightening effect over the following 3 to 6 months.

What treatments can I do at the same time as HALO® laser?

To achieve the “Ultimate Glow,” we often combine HALO® with BBL Hero™. This combination allows us to target surface redness and pigment with BBL while HALO® focuses on deep texture and wrinkles. It is the most comprehensive skin rejuvenation protocol available today.

How do I take care of my skin post-HALO® treatment?

Post-treatment care is vital. For the first 24 hours, keep the skin clean and apply only the recommended post-laser balms. Around day 3, you will notice “MENDs” (tiny dark spots) appearing—do not pick or scrub your face! They will naturally flake off within a week. Always use a mineral-based SPF 50 and avoid direct sun exposure for at least 4 weeks to protect your new, radiant skin.
