HALO™ Laser
HALO™ Laser
When it comes to skin rejuvenation, the HALO™ laser has become so popular that patients refer to its results as the “HALO™ glow.” With convenient treatments at Twin Ports Dermatology, you can experience that glow for yourself!
What is HALO™ by Sciton®?
HALO™ is a hybrid fractional laser created by Sciton® for skin rejuvenation. It combines an ablative and non-ablative laser wavelength to treat your skin’s surface and deeper layers. This second-generation device can be customized to each patient’s unique skin and needs, minimizing recovery and maximizing results. HALO™ can treat various common skin concerns, including wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and more.
How Does HALO™ Laser Resurfacing Work?
Before starting your HALO™ treatment, we’ll apply a topical numbing cream to your skin to ensure your comfort. Then your Twin Ports provider will move the handheld device over the treatment area. Depending on the size of the area, the treatment typically takes an hour or less. You’ll feel the warmth from the laser, and some patients describe the sensation as prickling or a rubber band snap.
HALO™ uses two wavelengths, both ablative and non-ablative, to provide comprehensive treatment. Since it’s a fractional laser, the laser is broken into multiple small beams that cause pinpoints of controlled damage without harming the surrounding skin. The laser works in multiple ways to rejuvenate your skin.
First, by partially ablating the top layers, the laser clears away dull, sun-damaged skin on the surface to make way for healthy new skin. Second, the laser heats up the dermis to trigger a healing response. This prompts your skin to produce more collagen and elastin to heal the superficial damage. Increased collagen has an anti-aging effect, leaving your skin firmer, smoother, and more youthful.

Am I a Good Candidate for HALO™ Laser Treatments?
With two wavelengths that can be adjusted for each patient’s needs, HALO™ is safe for all skin types. Your provider can adjust the intensity of the laser depending on your skin tone, the conditions you’re treating, and your comfort level.
Almost anyone who wants to rejuvenate their skin is a good candidate for HALO™ laser treatments. We offer HALO™ for the face, neck, and body. For patients seeking an even gentler treatment option, we may recommend BBL™ HERO by Sciton®.
What Results Will I See With HALO™?
Patients often start to see their HALO™ Glow within one week. As your skin repairs itself and clears away the old, damaged surface cells, you’ll see a more radiant complexion and clearer skin. Some of the results patients see with HALO™ include:
- More even skin tone and texture
- Fewer fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduced hyperpigmentation and dark spots
- Faded acne scars
- Brighter complexion
Most patients only need one or two HALO™ treatments for optimal results. You can maintain your HALO™ Glow with follow-up treatments as needed.
Is There Any Downtime With HALO™ Treatments?
Most patients resume their usual activities within a day or two after HALO™. After the treatment, your skin may be red, tender, and slightly swollen. Some peeling and flaking are also normal as your body removes the damaged skin to make way for healthy new growth. These side effects should start to subside within a few days.
We’ll give you aftercare instructions for managing any discomfort and helping your skin heal. Patients should use gentle skincare products, moisturize often, and avoid sun exposure during recovery.
