HALO Hybrid Fractional Laser Edmonton South

HALO Hybrid Fractional Laser is a skin resurfacing treatment that delivers two laser wavelengths, non-ablative (1470 nm) and ablative (2940 nm), to the same microscopic treatment zone. This hybrid approach stimulates the skin's natural healing response to visibly improve tone, texture and clarity while addressing concerns such as fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, scarring and uneven pigmentation. HALO can be used on the face as well as off-face areas including the neck, chest, arms and hands.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Taking photographs

Taking a picture of your face before your Halo treatment allows you to better visualize the progress before/after the treatment.

Step 2

Application of topical anesthetic for Halo treatment

A topical anesthetic is all most patients need to experience very little discomfort during the Halo treatment. This product is applied to the skin for about 1 hour prior to treatment.

Step 3

Cleansing and disinfecting the skin

Carefully removing all traces of gel, makeup and lipid film is an essential step before your Halo treatment. It is important to disinfect the skin with alcohol to create a suitable and sterile canvas before the procedure begins.

Step 4

Adequate eye protection

Protective eyewear may be required to provide adequate eye protection in the event of light emission. It is normal to see a few flashes of light throughout the treatment. Once well protected, your eyes are safe and have nothing to worry about.

Step 5

Treatment

Applying the applicator to the skin of the target area and discharging the energy onto the surface signals the beginning of the treatment. Your technician will treat a section of your face at a time by rolling the Halo hand piece in a crisscross pattern.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

You can have one or two deeper treatments or have multiple treatments that are less aggressive and achieve a similar goal over a longer period of time. You will see initial results between day 2 and 5 after your Halo treatment, but your skin will continue to improve over time. Most patients see the greatest improvement in the first 2 to 3 weeks.* For the first 24 hours, you should keep your skin protected according to post-treatment recommendations, but after that you can resume your normal activities. After the first 24 hours, your skin will begin to peel, but you willbe able to put on makeup. Prolong your results by keeping your healthy skin protected with sunscreen daily. *Individual results may vary.

Contraindications

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should delay this type of treatment, as well as anyone who has received Accutane treatment in the past 6 months. Patients who have been exposed to the sun without sun protection within 7 days before the treatment date will have to delay the treatment.
