Why don't I have any peeling 4 days after Halo? (Photos)

Im sure by now this issue has passed for you, but for those who are reading this and have undergone a treatment recently these answers may still be helpful. 

It is common for flaking and peeling to occur anywhere on the face during the first 5 days after Halo.  Some areas will peel differently depending on the technique, the oiliness of your skin, and the condition your skin was in before Halo.  There is often a second almost invisible peel around day 10-12 that few people discuss. Its so subtle most don't notice it but this is also completely normal.  Moisturize with Cetaphil or CeraVe. 
Some things you should be more concerned about. The things to look for:
honey colored crust, red streaky areas (noticeably red and streaky), when one side of the face is red and swollen while the other is not, fever. 
If you notice these things with any laser treatment then contact a health care provider.  

Halo is a very tunable laser and the result are aimed to address particular issues. I would recommend talking to your provider to clarified your doubts. In my experience people don't tend to peel much and your skin will feel dry. It is important to keep it moisturizer and to protected from the sun.

Halo procedure is dependent on every individual treatment and the settings used. Secondly the red and flaking happens mostly on the epidermis level if there is/was a lot of sun damage. So if you were taking care of your skin for the most part thats when you will not see a lot of flaking. Secondly, the most important part of the halo procedure is at the dermis level where it stimulates collagen and you will see results not only in 2-3 weeks down the line but you will keep seeing better results in 2 - 3 months.. This not only helps stimilae collagen but also tightens and reduces most superficial level wrinkles. 

Try not to worry.  The treatment definitely will produce results.  HALO treatments can be specifically adjusted to each patients needs.  You should follow up with your doctor's office to discuss the intensity of your treatment and when you should expect any flaking following your specialized treatment.   It is still too early to see the true results of your treatment.  

Thanks for the great question. The degree of peeling patients experience is dependent on a number of factors. The most significant factor has to do with the depth and intensity of the treatment. More superficial and low density treatments tend to have very little of the dark bronzing with significant flaking you see in some other patients on here. Even if you're not peeling that doesn't mean that the treatment didn't do anything. I tell patients that it takes 10-12 weeks to see your final results! Best of luck!~Dr. Sieber

The great thing about The Halo laser is that the treatment can be tailored and tuned to the patient's skin type and goals.  Most people will start to peel around day three but this can vary depending on how aggressive or light your treatment was, as well as how deep the treatment was and your skin.  It may be that the "dark spots" or mends on your skin have not loosened enough to release and slough yet. They should peel soon. Give it some time- about 21 days before you judge your results and remember to protect your skin with a good quality sunscreen!  

3 main factors- what settings were used? Who performed the procedure? Was this one pass, two passes? Over laps? Specialist tend to use this to the best of the lasers capacity. Also depends on your own individual heal factors, including after laser care- this would have been provided by your Board Certified Specialist. This laser is excellent for superficial indications- improving skin texture etc... Hence the heal times depend on the above, all the best. Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane Dermatologist. Australia.
