I had Halo laser procedure done on my face 4 days ago. As the material stated, my face turned red, swelled, turned to bronze color with dots and started flaking. Day 3 my face no longer looked like a chunky Asian face- my face was huge, however my eyes remain being swelled badly. I am at day 4 post and most of the bronze has flaked off and my skin is red, however, I now have little white pimples all over my face. I did not read anything about this the pimples- any advise?
Answer: Common Skin Reaction after Halo Those little white pimples are called Milia and are a skin reaction to the treatment. It is very important that you contact your doctor as they can address this by either 'unroofing' the Milia or prescribing an exfoliating agent to help improve this condition which is self limited, and temporary.

Answer: White pimples advice! Hi, What you are experiencing is not an uncommon reaction. In my practice I usually give antibiotics for deeper treatment, specially if a patient is acne prone, but this is my personal preference. Those white spots could be acne break out, and is a reaction to the treatment. The best thing is to see you provider and he/she will decide how to treat it. Most likely you will be put on an antibiotic treatment.

Answer: White pimples after Halo Laser Treatment The small white bumps that you may be seeing are known as milia -they are not pimples. It is typical after most resurfacing procedures on the fact that on occlusive ointment (e.g. Aquaphor, Bacitracin, etc..) is used to calm the skin; as well as, accelerate the healing. The occlusive nature of these ointments also obstructs the natural openings of the oil glands to the surface of the skin, causing the oil they produce to build up, and thus resulting in the visible little “white pimples” in the skin.. However, they usually resolve on their own by the body absorbing them. Rarely they persist, but if so would be corrected with an extraction in the provider’s office. I would suggest mentioning it to the provider or the Laser Practitioner at your follow up or sooner if any other you have other concerns. It is important that you not pick at these to try and “extract” them yourself.

Answer: Halo - Break Out Please follow up with the provider who performed the treatment. They can effectively analyze the skin to address your concerns. It may be that you need to be placed on a round of short-term orals for the outbreak.

Answer: Halo Laser and Now With Pimples What Do I Do? This is a common "complication" from people who get fractional resurfacing and needs to be treated with oral antibiotics and topical acne medication. I suggest speaking to your physician but this will improve with the right course of short term treatment. Best, Dr. Emer.
