Fall and Winter are perfect seasons for a Halo treatment




Unveiling Radiance: The Power of Halo Hybrid Fractional Lasers from Sciton

In the ever-evolving world of skincare and aesthetic treatments, technology has introduced groundbreaking solutions to address concerns like skin laxity, wrinkles, pigmentation, and uneven tone. Among these innovations, the Halo hybrid fractional laser from Sciton stands out as a premier choice for those seeking rejuvenated, glowing skin.


Understanding Halo Hybrid Fractional Lasers

The Halo hybrid fractional laser merges both ablative and non-ablative laser technologies. This unique combination allows it to effectively treat deeper skin layers while simultaneously rejuvenating the skin's surface. By stimulating collagen production and promoting skin resurfacing, the Halo laser addresses common concerns like wrinkles and pigmentation while enhancing overall skin texture and tone.


Why Sciton's Halo?

Sciton has designed the Halo hybrid fractional laser with precision and patient safety in mind. The device's customizable settings allow Dr. B Rike to tailor treatments according to individual skin types and concerns, ensuring optimal results for every patient. The laser is smart with Dynamic thermal optimization DTO technology that monitors the skin and ensures the proper amount of energy is being delivered. This laser also just celebrated it's 10th anniversary and remains one of the best aesthetic laser treatments. The Halo gives you ablative results with non ablative downtime.


Benefits of the Halo Laser

1. Reduced Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Effective in minimizing the appearance of aging signs, resulting in a smoother, firmer complexion.

2. Improved Texture and Tone: Treats irregular pigmentation and dyschromia, enhancing the skin’s overall appearance.

3. Customizable Treatments: Versatile settings cater to individual needs, making it suitable for all skin types.

4. Minimal Downtime: Compared to traditional lasers, Halo requires significantly less downtime, allowing for a quicker return to daily activities.

5. Long-lasting Results: Improvements often continue as collagen production increases over time after treatment.





Risks and Complications - we use safe settings and rarely if ever see any issues with the Halo laser treatments but, it is important to be aware of potential complications. Also good pre-and post care will help prevent any complications.

1. Redness and Swelling: After treatment, some patients may experience temporary redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. We include a BBL HERO 1 month later and Glacial Rx 3 months post.

2. Hyperpigmentation: Those with darker skin types may be at risk for post-treatment pigmentation changes.

3. Infection: As with any skin treatment, proper aftercare is crucial to reduce the risk of infection. HOCL spray helps prevent any bacterial, viral or fungal infections.

4. Scarring: While rare, this can happen with a burn or adverse reaction. Irresponsible or inadequate aftercare could result in scarring.



Expected Downtime

One of the defining factors of the Halo laser is its relatively short downtime:

Total downtime is typically 5 to 7 days depending on the type of treatment and settings used.

- Immediate Effects: Patients may notice redness and swelling for 2 to 3 days.

- Peeling: Skin may begin to peel around days 3 to 5 as part of the healing process, which typically resolves within a week.

MENDS develop and are usually more visible around day 3 these are the microscopic epidermal debris from the laser pulse path that come out of your skin. This is then replaced by new "baby" skin. Do not pick or scratch your face. Half vinegar half water soaks can help remove MENDS around day 4.

- Return to Normal Activities: Most individuals can resume normal activities within 5 to 7 days, although some might prefer to wait until full recovery is achieved for complete confidence.





Post-Care Recommendations

To ensure the best outcomes and promote healing, follow these post-care guidelines:

1. Sunscreen Use: Daily application of broad-spectrum SPF is crucial for protecting the fragile skin post-treatment. A good physical barrier sunscreen with titanium or zinc oxide is best. You are not going to want to be in the sun at all after a Halo for about 2 weeks. After you recover it is still important to use good sun protection including wide brimmed hats and good physical barrier sunscreen reapplied every 2 hours.

2. Gentle Cleansing: Use only mild, non-irritating cleansers to avoid aggravating the treated skin.

We also recommend adding the Regenerative Skin Nectar by Alastin 2 weeks before and after until gone. This improves results and decreases complications.

3. Moisturizing: Keep the skin hydrated with gentle moisturizers to support healing and comfort.

4. Avoid Harsh Products: Refrain from using retinoids and acids for at least a week after treatment to prevent irritation.

5. Follow-Up Consultations: Regular check-ins with a practitioner can help monitor healing and address any concerns.


Studies Supporting Halo’s Efficacy


Multiple studies affirm the effectiveness of the Halo hybrid fractional laser in skin rejuvenation:


- A 2019 study published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology indicated that patients experienced substantial improvements in skin texture and pigmentation after a series of Halo treatments, with high satisfaction rates noted.


- Research published in 'Lasers in Surgery and Medicine' demonstrated that patients had a marked reduction in wrinkles and enhanced skin elasticity following Halo sessions, with minimal adverse effects reported.


- An observational study featured in 'Dermatologic Surgery' confirmed that Halo's combination of ablative and non-ablative treatments yielded impressive results, further endorsing its safety and efficacy in clinical practice.



The Halo hybrid fractional laser from Sciton represents a remarkable innovation in the field of laser treatments for skin rejuvenation. With its unique dual-action technology, it effectively tackles a range of concerns, from skin laxity to pigmentation, providing patients with smoother, healthier skin with minimal downtime.
