Laser treatment with HALO works on both the pigmentation and texture of the skin. The end result is smooth, glowing skin with reduced lines/wrinkles and dramatic reduction in any discolouration.

Although treatment is tailored to individual requirements, typically most patients require only 1 or 2 treatments to achieve their desired result.

To make the procedure as comfortable as possible, a topical anaesthetic may be applied to the skin 30-45 minutes before the procedure. This will numb the skin and reduce any sensation. Cooling technology is added to provide additional comfort. Motion tracking technology is used to provide even treatment to the skin with the HALO handpiece.

Patients report a sensation of heat and occasional prickling with the treatment, which is tempered with the use of topical anaesthetic and cooling technology. The sensation of feeling warm can last 15-30 minutes after treatment with those receiving deeper treatment levels feeling warmer for longer times.

It is essential to protect your skin for the first 24-hours after which you can resume your normal activities. The next day, your skin will start peeling, but makeup can be applied. A light bronzing appearance will develop within two to three days. Your skin will peel within three to four days, exposing your new skin.

Timings can vary from person to person but typically improvements begin from just two to five days after your HALO treatment. The biggest change in pigmentation is typically seen in the first two to three weeks. After this, dermal regeneration continues with skin improving for several months.

To maintain your healthy glowing skin, always protect it from the sun using appropriate factor sunscreen. HALO is a long-lasting treatment, so much so, that on average only 1 treatment is needed every 12 months. Each additional treatment session will further improve your skin.
