How long to do have to wait after getting Voluma filler to have a Halo procedure?

Question

My nurse injector at one office is saying 6-8 weeks and my dermatology office who is doing the HALO is saying 2 weeks. I was wondering what other opinions might be. thank you so much!!

Voluma is typically placed quite deep in the cheeks and the Halo will only be treating the skin, it doesn't penetrate deep enough to get under the skin. As such, you could theoretically have both performed the same day. If you already have the Voluma, then you can get a Halo whenever you want.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Quintessa

Hello,
At our practice, we recommend waiting 2 weeks to get Halo after a filler procedure, and that is mostly to allow the swelling and bruising to resolve and let the filler settle into the tissue. There is no problem with waiting longer but I wouldn't treat sooner than 2 weeks after having any filler.

Rebecca Gelber, MD · Answer

I rarely disagree with other professionals, but having done the original Halo prototype in 2013, the ONLY reason you can't do them both the same day is that if you want the patient to smooth the filler, they shouldn't be rubbing freshly Halo'd skin. Halo does not penetrate anything near the depth of the filler and unless they are doing a VERY aggressive Halo, there isn't enough heat to affect the filler.So the question is how many days do they want you to smooth the filler? You can do the Halo as soon as you are done.
