I had minimal redness, swelling and peeling after my Halo and several weeks later, I don't see much improvement in my overall skin quality. I still have enlarged pores, age spots and fine lines and wrinkles. I am 60, have good skin but wanted better. I had this done at a premier Atlanta plastic surgery practice. Is it appropriate to ask my surgeon for a redo? The results were purported to be "amazing". Instead I am very underwhelmed and disappointed as I spent over $1600.
Answer: Halo Results Halo improves fine lines, wrinkles. pigmentation, pore size, texture and redness. You will still have some after one treatment depending on the status of your skin when initially seen. It takes 6-8 to see your full results. Having one treatment will not take care of all your concerns no matter how aggressive the treatment is. Two treatments plus BBL is really the optimal regimen. Those in combination with neurotoxins and fillers could also help achieve even better results. However, routine skin care with a qualified esthetician is the same as seeing the dental hygienist to make sure what you are doing at home is being complimented with other treatments in the office.

Answer: Post Halo expectation Its probably too early to tell still, but it is a good idea to schedule a follow up with your physician a couple of months post treatment if you are not sure. At our office, we do before and after photos because that can be helpful in viewing the results or lack of results. We typically recommend 2-3 treatments for best results with this technology and often combine it with other procedures, such as neurotoxins.

Answer: Halo Reults Halo improves fine lines and wrinkles but you will still have them after the procedure. It takes 6-8 to see your full results. Having one treatment will not take care of all your concerns no matter how aggressive the treatment is. Combination treatments are recommended to obtain the results you want. Neurotoxins and fillers along with lasers could also help achieve less wrinkles and fine lines.

Answer: Halo Results Thanks for the great question and I'm sorry you're disappointed with the results. What I have noticed in my own patients is that it sometimes takes 10-12 weeks after the treatment to see the best results. This is because it takes time for the body to produce new collagen to fill in the areas damaged by the laser. I don't know what settings were used for your treatment, but the laser is able to produce very aggressive treatments which should make a noticeable improvement in your skin. I would talk to your doctors office about your results to see what they think.Best,~Dr. Sieber

Answer: HALO Results Sorry that you are disappointed, although a few week later is still too early to gauge results on many of the changes that HALO delivers. Usually age spots will show improvement this early, but many of the other changes, such as wrinkles and overall skin texture take more time to show the results. I would definitely contact them to discuss what changes you should see by now and what is yet to come. It is not uncommon to have to do multiple HALOs on some skin to see great results and every patient responds differently to each treatment.
