I am getting Halo & BBL in a few weeks- 1) I have some broken capillaries on my nose from a horrid facial- will these go away? 2) I also have some unwanted, reoccurring facial hairs that just appear periodically and a few from a mole on my face- will this treatment help these to stay away? 3) I had blepharoplasty eyelid surgery in March 2019- will there be an issue with the laser procedure?

Halo is not made for removing hair and does not penetrate deep enough to effectively damage the hair follicle. It is completely safe to receive even if you have a beard.
Thanks for posting. HALO would not be a go to laser for acne scarring. It can help with some texture issues, but it was designed for sun damage and skin discoloration. The pro fractional laser (as made by Sciton) is safe on darker skin tones and can be useful with acne scarring. Best of luck, Dr. M
