Halo Laser: The Most Talked About Resurfacing Treatment
A NEW SECRET WEAPON HELPING WOMEN PUT OFF THE NEED FOR A FACELIFT AND ENJOY THE BEST SKIN OF THEIR LIFE
The generations before us weren’t so lucky – preventative treatments such as laser resurfacing weren’t as common as they are now, and they certainly weren’t as advanced. But today, a new secret weapon is helping women everywhere put off the need for a facelift and enjoy the best skin of their life.
Celebrity plastic surgeons, dermatologists, and estheticians across the U.S. can’t stop talking about the Halo Laser by Sciton—a breakthrough hybrid device that delivers powerful results with far less downtime than traditional resurfacing. At H/K/B Cosmetic Surgery, Halo is used to gently but effectively renew your skin’s tone, texture, and clarity while fitting into real-life schedules. As a next-generation face laser treatment that blends ablative and non-ablative laser treatment technology, Halo helps bridge the gap between subtle and dramatic facial rejuvenation.
The Halo Laser Treatment Difference
Why is the Halo laser one of the most talked-about resurfacing options? Because this single platform can address a wide range of skin concerns with customizable intensity and recovery.
Here’s why the experts at H/K/B love using the Halo laser device:
- It’s the first fractionated laser to use both ablative and non-ablative technology.
- It improves the appearance of rough skin texture, wrinkles, and fine lines.
- Halo laser treatment helps correct sun damage, brown spots, dark pigmentation, uneven skin tone, and pore size.
- It gives your skin a luminous glow, often called the “Halo glow.”
- Halo laser encourages collagen and elastin production to help you look younger.
- It requires minimal downtime with most patients recovering in 2 to 5 days, depending on the depth of treatment.
- It can treat almost all skin tones, including many who are not typically good candidates for more aggressive resurfacing.
- As a hybrid laser fractional skin resurfacing treatment, Halo precisely targets both the superficial and deeper layers for smoother, brighter skin.
How Does The Halo Laser Work?
The Halo laser is the first hybrid fractional laser that combines ablative, non-ablative, and fractional technologies to deliver significant results without extended downtime.
Ablative lasers like CO2 and Erbium remove the outer layers of skin (epidermis) and stimulate collagen in the dermis. They can create dramatic improvement but often require a longer recovery.
Non-ablative lasers are less invasive and do not remove the outer layer of skin. Instead, they bypass the surface to gently heat deeper layers and stimulate collagen growth. They typically require less downtime but multiple sessions.
Fractional lasers—ablative or non-ablative—break the beam into tiny micro-columns so only a fraction of the skin is treated in each pass, leaving surrounding tissue intact to speed healing.
The Halo laser is a true breakthrough because it combines these approaches in a single customized treatment. It gives you the impact of deeper resurfacing with the flexibility and recovery profile of a non-ablative laser treatment. You don’t have to choose between a fast recovery with mediocre results and a long recovery with great results. With Halo laser resurfacing, you can have both.

Am I A Halo Laser Candidate?
If you find yourself considering a handful of different aesthetic treatments to effectively reach your skin goals, then you may be a great candidate for Halo laser resurfacing.
Halo Laser is especially beneficial if:
- You see early to moderate signs of aging, sun damage, or dullness.
- You have acne scars or uneven texture that don’t respond to skincare alone.
- You want visible change without weeks of downtime.
- You are looking for a face laser treatment that can be customized to different areas and intensities.
Can I Combine Halo Laser Treatment with Other Procedures?
Yes. Halo pairs well with complementary treatments to enhance overall results. Many patients combine Halo with BBL for pigment and redness correction, light chemical peels for maintenance, or injectables such as neuromodulators and fillers to soften expression lines and restore volume. In select cases, Halo can be integrated into a staged plan with other laser fractional skin resurfacing technologies or RF microneedling for more advanced texture work. Your provider will recommend safe combinations and ideal timing, so your skin heals properly while maximizing glow, clarity, and lift.
How Do I Maintain My Halo Face Laser Treatment Results?
To protect your investment, adopt a consistent routine: daily broad-spectrum SPF, antioxidant serum, gentle cleanser, and hydrating moisturizer. Avoid tanning, smoking, and harsh at-home exfoliation. Many patients schedule lighter maintenance treatments or annual Halo sessions to keep pigment, pores, and texture in check. When appropriate, we may suggest alternating Halo with other non-ablative laser treatment or medical-grade skincare for long-term facial rejuvenation. Your provider will personalize a simple, sustainable plan that keeps your face laser treatment results looking fresh and natural.
Understanding Your Needs To Create Amazing Results
Once you age out of your 20s, you might start to see more fine lines and discolored spots that make your skin look tired and splotchy, or you might have texture issues from years of poor skin maintenance or struggles with acne. Even with a combination of these issues, you probably don’t need serious cosmetic surgery, and you likely aren’t getting much help from even the strongest medical-grade creams and serums. But by dealing with dermal and epidermal issues simultaneously, the Halo laser skin resurfacing treatment could be the ideal solution that gives you the results you’ve been searching for.
During your one-on-one consultation and skin evaluation, our providers will review:
- Your current sun exposure and lifestyle
- Your skincare regimen and prior procedures
- Specific concerns such as pigmentation, scarring, or persistent redness
- How Halo can be tailored as part of your long-term facial rejuvenation strategy
From there, they’ll design a plan that fits your skin, schedule, and comfort level.

FAQS Halo Laser Treatment
About 30 to 45 minutes prior to your Halo laser, a topical numbing cream is applied to the skin to help you feel comfortable throughout your treatment. The laser hand-piece is passed over your skin to measure your face diameter and skin depth – this helps calculate the appropriate amount of energy to be infused into the skin for maximum effect. Once those settings are established, the Halo laser treatment will begin and may last anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of treatment being delivered.
The Halo laser will pulsate heat energy deep into the skin, and you will feel a moderate to intense warming sensation throughout the area. This is improved by the use of a forced-air system that pumps cold air over your heated skin, allowing you to feel more comfortable throughout the duration of your Halo laser treatment.
The warm sensation may last in your skin for about 30 to 60 minutes after the Halo laser treatment. Your provider will give you detailed instructions on how to care for your skin at home, which may include cleansing, applying healing serums, or the use of topical moisturizers. During the next 2 to 5 days, you may also experience skin sensitivity, puffiness around the eyes, nose, and mouth, mild swelling overall, a pink-to-red coloration, and mild peeling and flaking. Some areas, especially those where you may have had sun damage, may turn brown and slough off during daily cleansing.
- Your skin will continue to improve over time, but you can apply makeup after the first 24 hours.
- Most people can return to normal daily activities between day 4 and 7
- You’ll start to see results between 2 and 5 days, but your skin will continue to improve over the next few weeks.
- Most patients see the greatest improvement in 2-3 weeks.
- You’ll experience a skin regeneration phase that continues to improve the appearance, tone, and texture of your skin for months afterward
Even though we’re continually aging and battling against external factors like sun exposure and free radicals, your Halo laser results can last for many years to come. Just be sure to maintain your skin health with a proper product regimen that includes the use of a broad-spectrum UVA / UVB sunscreen.
Halo is a hybrid system that combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in a single pass, allowing us to treat both the surface and deeper layers simultaneously. Traditional laser fractional skin resurfacing often requires choosing between more downtime for stronger results or less downtime with milder change. Halo lets us fine-tune intensity for your needs, making it an excellent option for patients who want visible improvement in tone, texture, and pores without a prolonged recovery.
Halo is unique because it’s both ablative and non-ablative. It uses an ablative wavelength to create microscopic channels in the skin and a non-ablative laser treatment wavelength to heat deeper tissue and stimulate collagen. This hybrid approach offers the benefits of deeper remodeling with a recovery profile closer to non-ablative treatments, which is why it’s popular for busy patients seeking effective facial rejuvenation.
Yes. Halo is frequently performed as a comprehensive face laser treatment to improve uniformity of tone and texture. It can also be safely applied to the neck, chest, and hands to address sun damage and fine lines, creating a more consistent look between face and body. Your provider will recommend specific areas and settings based on your skin type and goals.
Halo’s fractional technology makes it a strong option for refining acne scars and visibly enlarged pores. By creating controlled micro-injuries and stimulating collagen, Halo can soften edges of depressed scars and tighten pore appearance over a series of treatments. It is often integrated into multi-step plans that may include other resurfacing or collagen-stimulating modalities for more advanced scarring.
Some patients achieve satisfying improvement with a single, more intensive session, while others prefer a series of lighter treatments. The number depends on your starting point and goals, from pigment, fine lines, and scars, to overall glow. During consultation, we’ll map a realistic plan that may include one stronger Halo session or 2 to 3 gentler sessions spaced several weeks apart, always tailored to your lifestyle and desired level of facial rejuvenation.
Ideal candidates have visible sun damage, fine lines, uneven tone, mild scars, or enlarged pores and want meaningful change without the commitment of traditional, fully ablative resurfacing. Many skin types can be treated safely. We’ll review your history, medications, and prior procedures to ensure Halo hybrid laser fractional skin resurfacing is appropriate and customize your parameters.
Absolutely. Halo improves your skin’s canvas, or its texture, clarity, and tone, while neuromodulators and fillers address lines of expression and volume loss. Many patients undergo a face laser treatment like Halo first to rebalance the skin, then refine with injectables once healing has progressed. This layered strategy creates a smoother, brighter, and more youthful look that remains natural and well-proportioned.
