Halo Laser

Anyone that is looking to improve the texture and radiance of their skin. If you suffer from wrinkles, discolouration, pigmentation, sun damage, uneven skin tone, acne scarring, enlarged pores and poor texture, then the halo could be the treatment for you.

Halo treats areas such as face, eyes, neck, chest/décolletage, hands or any areas that there is sun damage or textural concerns.

The halo laser treatment does have some downtime and recovery and your skin does require time to heal. During this time, your skin is vulnerable to the sun, and you should avoid exposure to UVA and UVB rays. Therefore, often the most suitable time of year to have this treatment is winter. This is the time of year we are indoors, and UV exposure is lower. Avoiding sun exposure will aid in achieving the desired results.

You and your skin therapist can choose how many treatments you want to do. You can have two deeper treatments or have multiple treatments that are less aggressive and achieve a similar goal over a longer period of time.

The halo treatment works to counter the signs of aging by damaging and removing the old damaged superficial epidermal cells of the skin. The dual laser technology penetrates deep into the skin using heat energy. This targets skin concerns non-invasively. Book your consultation to learn more about how the treatment works and may benefit your skin.

Yes, your skin does require preparation before treatment. It is advised to have a consultation with our skin clinicians to ensure that you are using the correct cosmeceutical skin care products that are mandatory for the halo treatment.

You also must avoid active skin care products such as vitamin A, BHA and AHAs one week prior to the halo treatment.

Avoid sun exposure for two to four weeks prior to laser, including fake tan. Please advise your skin clinician if you have an upcoming holiday. Wear sunscreen daily with vigilant application every two hours.

Please prep your skin with the prescribe skincare for you, avoid hot baths, saunas and exercise before the treatment. If you suffer from cold sores, please take the recommended medication to prevent a viral breakout. Take an anti-viral (for cold sores) medication the day before treatment and the day of treatment. Most importantly avoid the sun.

You will feel minimal discomfort during the treatment. We adjust our treatments to help patients have a comfortable and positive experience.

For the first 24 hours you will be instructed by your skin clinician of what products to use to protect and support your skin healing. Avoid the sun, exercise, hot showers and baths. Don not touch your face. Mineral make up can be applied the next day.

Yes, you do need to take time off work. Downtime is typically five to seven days. You experience heat, swelling and redness immediately post-treatment, which generally lasts for the first two days.

Three to five days post-treatment, your skin can feel tight, with a slight bronzed appearance, and dry skin may flake off. Four to five days post-treatment it is recommended to come into the clinic for your post-treatment omnilux. The omnilux treatment can help speed up the recovery time of the halo.

You need to continue to use the products that were first prescribed to you in the initial consultation, especially sunscreen. Avoid sun exposure and other invasive skin treatments. Four weeks after treatment, you may choose to have another halo treatment.

Your halo results can last for years to come as long as you continue to keep your skin healthy and protected against UV.
