For those who can’t commit to the downtime of an ablative laser, Halo’s hybrid fractional technology offers beautiful results with less recovery. You’ll look like you’ve had a sunburn for a couple of days, followed by light swelling and flaking over the next week. It’s not as intense as an ablative laser for deep wrinkles, but if radiant, refreshed skin is your goal, Halo delivers!

Halo is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, meaning it uses both ablative (which resurfaces the skin) and non-ablative (which promotes collagen production) wavelengths to treat the skin at different depths—all in one session. One major perk? Dry healing. Instead of several days of ointment and no makeup, you can apply makeup as soon as the next day. That’s a game-changer for anyone with a busy schedule.

Patients generally experience a few days of redness and swelling, followed by flaking as brown spots lift off and reveal more even, glowing skin underneath. Deeper wrinkles may still require an ablative laser, but Halo is a fantastic option for improving skin tone, texture, and mild wrinkles with minimal downtime.

As with any skin treatment, preparing your skin with products like Retin A and Hydroquinone before your appointment (and restarting after recovery) helps maximize your results. Don’t forget your sunscreen—sun protection is key to maintaining that glow!
