I had an aggressive Halo laser treatment yesterday. Today my face is so swollen that I feel my skin will burst. I have had other laser procedures in the past and have never swollen up like this. How long will it take for the swelling to subside and is there anything I can do to ease it a bit. Possibly ice or ibuprofen? I'm a bit nervous that because it's so swollen, the skin won't go back to it's normal shape. Given my age of 61 I'm nervous it will stay stretched after the swelling goes away.

Answer: Swelling after Deep Halo treatment This is very normal. A deep treatment will cause significant heating of the deep skin layers and this is what you want. It takes 4-5 days to recover from a Halo treatment and this is very short given the significant improvement to the skin quality that results. Halo can also be combined with BBL to give even further improvements to the skin. Ask your physician about this at our follow up visits.Good Luck!

Answer: Swelling is normal response and it a good one! Hi, as you know the beauty of a halo treatment is that you can find tune the settings to achieve the best results for you. I noticed that my patients in which I gave a deeper and more aggressive treatment they tend to swell more, which in the other hand I'm happy to see because I know they will get an amazing results. I routinely gave the patients before halo and antihistamine and ibuprofen to improve their post procedure experience. You can also take a ibuprofen as needed. The swelling should improve within the first few days, some people swell more than others. If the swelling persists more than a week make sure you contact your surgeon's office. I'm sure you'll get a great result.
