HALO Menlo Park

HALO is a comprehensive skin rejuvenation treatment. You can expect improvements in overall skin tone and texture, a significant reduction in discoloration, smaller pore size, and a noticeable increase in skin reflectivity and glow. Depending on the intensity of your treatment, you may also see a reduction in fine lines and scarring.

HALO is flexible, allowing you to choose the number of treatments based on your goals. Some patients opt for one or two more intense sessions for faster results, while others prefer multiple, less intense treatments spread out over time. Your provider will work with you to develop a treatment plan that best suits your needs.

Before your HALO treatment, a topical anesthetic may be applied to your skin to ensure comfort. During the procedure, the area will be measured using motion-tracking technology to ensure even treatment. The HALO handpiece is then rolled over the skin, delivering the laser therapy precisely where it's needed. The entire process is designed to be as comfortable and effective as possible.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the treatment, often described as a feeling of prickly heat with occasional sensations of pins and needles. Thanks to the topical anesthetic and integrated cooling technology, the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Afterward, you may feel a warm sensation similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within 15 to 30 minutes.

After your HALO treatment, it's important to follow your provider's instructions for skincare during the first 24 hours. Following this period, you can usually return to your normal activities. Your skin may appear red or pink for a few days, and you'll notice light peeling as the new skin emerges. By day three or four, your skin will reveal a fresh, rejuvenated appearance.

Initial results are typically visible within two to five days after treatment, with continued improvement over the following weeks. Most patients notice significant pigmentary changes within the first two to three weeks, followed by ongoing improvements in skin quality as collagen production increases.

HALO results are long-lasting, but your skin will continue to age naturally over time. Protecting your skin from UV exposure with sunscreen and protective clothing will help maintain your results. Additional HALO treatments can further enhance and prolong the rejuvenation effects.

The cost of HALO treatment varies depending on your specific needs and goals. Each treatment is customized to your skin and lifestyle, so it's best to schedule a consultation with Dr. Zeidler and the team at Aesthetx to determine the best plan for you.
