HALO laser treatment is a cutting-edge skin resurfacing procedure that combines ablative and non-ablative lasers to improve skin tone, texture, and overall radiance with minimal downtime.
Over time, your skin can lose its youthful glow due to sun or other environmental exposures as well as your body’s natural aging process. Consequently, you may develop sun spots and fine lines or lose that natural healthy radiance. Previous lasers couldn’t effectively remove this damage with a single device, because the treatment was either too shallow or too deep. That’s where HALO is unique. It eliminates years of damage by precisely targeting the right skin depth and in doing so, restores the luminous glow you once had.
HALO precisely targets years of damage to your skin, including:
HALO is the first and only laser to combine dual wavelengths, that essentially means it’s two laser therapies in one delivered simultaneous based on your specific skin needs. Dr. Hausauer believes, “this is a paradigm shift, a game changer because every treatment can be highly customized to match your lifestyle and desired outcomes.”

HALO is a complete skin rejuvenation treatment. You will see improvements in overall tone and texture, significant removal of discoloration, reduction in fine lines (depending on treatment intensity), shrinkage in pore size, and an increase in skin reflectivity and glow.
What’s great about HALO is that you can choose how many treatments you want! Discuss with your clinician your needs and desired overall results. Sometimes, patients prefer one or two more intense treatments, while others may have multiple, less intense sessions to achieve a similar goal over a longer period of time.
Thirty to sixty minutes prior to the laser treatment, your clinician may place a topical anesthetic on your skin to reduce the sensation during the procedure and make the process as comfortable as possible. The area will be measured with motion tracking technology to ensure it is treated evenly and appropriately. HALO’s sophisticated software allows your provider to measure each treatment area by uniformly rolling the HALO handpiece over the skin until the system recognizes the treatment is complete.
With a topical anesthetic and integrated cooling technology, most patients experience very little discomfort. Most describe the treatment as a feeling of prickly heat with occasional pins and needles, but are generally comfortable. After the treatment, most patients will continue to feel warm for an additional 15 to 30 minutes, much like a sunburn. For deeper treatments, this sensation can persist a bit longer, then subsides.
For the first 24 hours, you should keep your skin protected according to your physician’s instructions. After that, you should be able to go about your normal activities. Your skin may remain red-pink for 1-3 days; then after the first 24 hours, it will begin to flake. However, you will be able to put on makeup. For a facial treatment, you will see very little change on the first day. After two to three days, you will develop a light bronzing appearance. By day three or four, your skin will peel, revealing new skin beneath.
You will see initial results between two and five days after your HALO treatment, but your skin will continue to improve over time. Most patients see the greatest pigmentary improvement in the first two to three weeks. This is followed by a dermal regeneration phase that continues to improve for months, as collagen and other necessary skin elements build, turnover, and improve in quality.
HALO results will last for years to come. However, your skin continues to change and age over your lifetime, so it is important to protect exposed areas diligently at all times using broad-spectrum sunscreen, wide-brimmed hats, etc. Good ultraviolet (UV) protection will help maintain that HALO glow, and each additional HALO treatment you get will only improve the results, giving you even more luminous skin.
Every HALO treatment is customized for your skin and lifestyle. Depending on your needs, your physician may recommend a single treatment or a series of treatments. To find out the best option for you, please book a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Hausauer and her team, who specialize in designing individualized, cutting-edge, effective, and safe treatment plans.
