Is Halo safe for people with sensitive skin?

Question

I would appreciate input safety of Halo for people w/ sensitive skin? I have never had issues w/ my skin, but started using ZO products 3 wks ago (to help w/ sun damage), & my skin is now always dry & the products sting my face. Makes me think I have sensitive skin. Worse, my skin now looks a mess: very blotchy (some areas lightened, some red, some w/ my pre-lightened color, & my freckles & sun spots). I am contemplating Halo to fix it all, but am concerned it might do more harm than good. Thx!

Halo is a highly effective fractional laser renowned for its versatile capabilities. When used at higher intensity settings, it may require longer healing times compared to other non-ablative lasers. Halo is also highly versatile and can be adjusted and customized to fit a patient's needs. If this is still a concern for you, there are several less-intense alternatives to Halo: BBL, Moxi, and Fraxel. Effective post-laser skincare is equally crucial in achieving optimal results and ensuring you heal the right way.

Sciton's Halo is a very effective fractionated laser with a wide range of capabilities.  If used on a more aggressive setting the healing can be longer than most nonablative lasers.  With sensitive skin there are many options including Halo:  BBL, Moxi, Fraxel.  The post laser skin care will be equally important.  We've had great success with Alastin Nectar.

The Halo laser treatment is safe and effective for most skin types. Your doctor can customize settings according to your skin needs. The Halo hybrid fractional laser is exceptionally popular because it combines both ablative and non ablative wavelengths maximizing results with little downtime.
Best,
