Sunspots, pigment abnormalities, fine lines, and sagging: the aging process can have a noticeable impact on how you look and how you feel about your appearance. The Halo laser was created to target these imperfections, giving people back a reflection they recognize. If you want to feel a little better every time you look in the mirror, we’ll tell you more about how this technology works.
At the Cellular Level
At the cellular level, aging is characterized by a gradual decline in collagen and elastin production, leading to the formation of wrinkles, sagging skin, and uneven texture. By harnessing the body’s natural healing response, the Halo laser stimulates the production of these vital proteins, effectively restoring the skin’s firmness, elasticity, and overall vitality.
Skin Revival With the Halo Laser
The Halo laser boasts two wavelengths of energy and a cooling system that makes it more comfortable for the patient. With one wavelength, the laser gives you a more even skin tone. The other wavelength goes a layer deeper to target anything from skin damage to large pores. If you’re familiar with BroadBand Light therapy, you should know that the two do share similarities. As a general rule, the Halo laser may be more suitable for women who experience sun damage. The best way to learn more about which treatment is right for you is to visit a reputable dermatologist.
How Long Does the Halo Treatment Last?
Halo treatment typically lasts 1—1.5 hours (including prep time). Around a half hour before the treatment, you’ll receive a topical anesthetic, reducing any discomfort you may feel. After the anesthetic has kicked in, the laser treatment is anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your preferences, goals, and skin type. The cooling mechanisms built into the Halo laser are designed to work with the anesthetic, making the entire procedure hassle-free for patients.
