You are asking a very broad question that I could write a chapter on. In fact, I have!The Halo is going to improve the texture and wrinkles of the skin, while the nanopeel really just helps the visible photodamage of the skin, improving some of the browns and a little texture. If you have a lot of browns and reds in the skin, I'd recommend a broad band light (BBL) treatment. If you need improvement in wrinkles, then I'd recommend the Halo. Many combine them to get the best result. If you are considering a Halo, I'm not sure where the nanopeel will help. We don't do many nanopeels since we got our Halo 18 months ago.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Plastic SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers
Hi and thank you for your question! We find that Halo is great when a patient would like improvements in brown spots, texture, pores, etc. This usually requires two treatments, minimum. When our patients have more crepy/ thinning skin issues and/or more severe sun damage, we find using the nanopeel or contour is beneficial. You will also see some improvements in brown spots with this. Part of this decision is depending on a patients skin type, Halo is safer for darker skin types. We prep many of our patients with bleaching creams before and after either of these. Best, Dr. Grant Stevens
These two treatments are as different as night and day. . A nanopeel is the most superficial 'full field' laser treament where the topmost layer of skin is removed at a very precise depth, thus encourging the treated area to heal in a fashion very similar to a chemical peel, but without any chemicals begin used. The Halo System is a fractionated laser, effectively creating columns of injury deeper into the skin, but done in a way that only a certain percentage of skin is actually treated. This depth and density creates a very different type of injury and a somewhat longer, but predictable recovery. We love both systems and find that both can contribute to healthier, more luminous skin every time you undergo a treatment.
Nanopeel is a very superficial laser treatment. Choosing which laser depends on your wants and needs. Do you want to target the browns and reds or soften wrinkles? Schedule a consultation with a provider to talk about what each laser can do for your skin. Halo has some downtime of 3 up to 10 days depending on the intensity.
Hi and thank you for your question. We have the Halo laser at our office and have had wonderful results with the procedure. We also have noticed some people experience much more swelling than others, for reasons not exactly clear. They seem to experience more of a histamine reaction. This is...
Botox is injected deep into the muscles and the Halo laser treatment affects only the skin. They are not affected by one another. Its no problem to do both treatments on the same day ,Good Luck!
Thank you, mr77, for asking this question. The simple answer is that getting VOLUMA filler injected doesn't prevent you from having a Halo laser skin resurfacing procedure. The Halo laser is a unique hybrid that uses 2 different laser wavelengths to penetrate beneath the skin at...
