Turn back the visible signs of photo‑ageing with HALO, the first laser to combine ablative and non‑ablative wavelengths in a single treatment. Our dermatologist‑led team uses HALO to soften fine lines, refine enlarged pores, fade stubborn pigment and restore youthful radiance – all with less downtime than traditional resurfacing.
How HALO Works
Each pass of the handpiece delivers two wavelengths. The 2940 nm beam creates microscopic channels to remove damaged surface cells while the 1470 nm beam heats deeper layers to trigger fresh collagen. Surrounding healthy skin speeds recovery so you achieve powerful rejuvenation with a social downtime that fits your schedule.
Who Benefits
HALO is ideal for mottled sun damage, early wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scars and dull or rough skin texture. Energy and density are customised for every Fitzpatrick type, including pigment‑prone skin when prepared correctly, making HALO suitable for most patients seeking a step between chemical peels and CO2 resurfacing.
Treatment Experience
Your visit begins with Observ skin imaging and forty‑five minutes of topical anaesthetic. The laser takes about twenty minutes for a full face. You will feel a warm prickling sensation followed by residual heat for thirty to forty‑five minutes, which settles under cool airflow and hydrating mist.
What to expect?
How uncomfortable is the treatment?
With topical anaesthetic and integrated cooling the sensation rates three to four out of ten and warmth fades within the hour.
Downtime and Recovery
Downtime depends on treatment intensity and your goals.
- Day 0 to 1: Redness and heat, swelling peaks within twenty‑four to thirty‑six hours.
- Day 2 to 3: Swelling eases, bronze micro‑exfoliation dots develop, skin feels dry.
- Day 3 to 7: Dots flake away naturally, light mineral make‑up is fine from day four if skin feels intact.
- Day 7 to 10: Flaking completes; deeper settings may extend redness toward day ten.
- Weeks 2 to 12: Collagen rebuilds, fine lines smooth, pores tighten and overall clarity improves.
Will I peel?
Yes, fine coffee‑ground flakes shed between days three and seven, sometimes to day ten after higher energy passes. Let them fall away naturally.
After‑Care Essentials:
- Hydrate with a barrier ointment until peeling ends.
- Sleep on two pillows the first two nights to reduce swelling.
- Avoid active skincare for seven days.
- Apply SPF 50 daily and seek shade for two weeks.
- Skip saunas, pools and vigorous exercise for five days.
Can HALO treat melasma?
When paired with pigment‑stabilising skincare and conservative energy settings HALO can safely address melasma and uneven tone.
How many sessions will I need?
Many see impressive change from one session. Deeper wrinkles, scars or enlarged pores often benefit from a second session six to eight weeks later.
When can I return to work?
Remote work is possible next day. Public‑facing roles generally resume between days three and seven once swelling settles and make‑up can be worn.
How long do results last
Pigment correction is long‑lasting with sun protection. New collagen can remain for twelve to eighteen months; annual maintenance HALO is common.
