If my goal is to reduce fine lines & pores, and to help with uneven pigmentation, what laser treatment is best? I've not been able to find/read much on Halo, which makes me feel as though it's not the holy grail it was introduced as. Thank you
Answer: Halo or Profractional The beauty of Halo is that it can address multiple problems with the skin. You can literally dial the strength of it, the coverage, and the density depending on your individual needs. The pro-fractional laser is a deeper treatment, but it can result in a longer recovery period. The Halo can be dialed to give you minimal recovery, but that leads to a lesser change. If you want a more drastic change, you will have to increase the surface area treated, which could lead to a longer recovery period. If you are interested in the fine lines, I would certainly recommend using the TRL by Sciton which is an extremely effective way to not only efface the fine lines, but also the deeper lines especially around the eyes and the mouth.

Answer: Halo or Profractional That's a great question. These lasers are made by the same company, and the Halo (ablative 2940 and non-ablative 1470 together) is the second-generation version of the Profractional (only ablative 2940). There has been more buzz building around the Halo recently, as more clinical data is available. I like them both, but the Halo makes more sense for the problems that you are describing. There is much less downtime with the Halo - you can put makeup on and get back to work (as I've done!). I used to automatically reach for my Profractional for treating scars, but now offer my patients the choice of a few Profractional treatments with downtime, or a short series with the Halo but without much social downtime.

Answer: Halo Treatment Our practice has both lasers and based on the concerns you have listed you sound like a good candidate for the Halo. It addresses all the concerns you have listed with very little downtime. It would be best to consult with a provider that has multiple options to get a true recommendation on the laser best suited to address your concerns. Good luck!

Answer: Halo is the world's first hybrid fractional laser Profractional is only one wavelength and has a longer recovery time. Halo is the first and only one in the category of dual wavelength, hybrid fractional laser. It has superior results with 24 hours downtime. The combination of two different wavelengths addressing the skin's issue in epidermis and various layers of dermis yields most superior results. The synergy between the two wavelengths also cuts down on the healing time. It is clearly the holy grail of all lasers invented so far.

Answer: Halo versus Profractional The Halo has two laser 2940 and 1470. The profractional only has 2940. The Halo is the first ever laser to have 2 wavelengths in one handpiece. This treatment can reduce fine lines, pore size, sun damage and pigmentation. It's a great system to allow us to customize a treatment that will tend to your needs and wants.
