Is there a certain period of time I should wait between the threads and when I get the Halo?

Question

Can I get a Halo treatment after PDO threads?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I do them together at the same time so you have one downtime. pretreat with cosmelan or enlighten and post treat with emerageskin refit face, eye and hyla b; anteagemd serum; light stim LED; and faith essance serum!  Best, Dr. Emer.

PDO threads are placed below the skin. The Halo laser treats into the skin, not below it. The Halo laser does roll across the skin, so I would recommend you wait a week or two after the threads, it would be completely safe to have a Halo at that time.

Great question - in our office about 70% of our patients opt to combine threads and Halo. As threads can be placed deeper in the skin and Halo penetration settings can be customized to not reach that depth, there would hypothetically be no damage to previously placed threads.

However, Halo does generate a great deal of heat which can damage threads. We love placing PDO threads on the same day as Halo immediately AFTER the laser - we find the two treatments very complimentary and patients get more out of the downtime that they invested in the laser, particularly around the mouth and lower face where you don't generally want the bulk of filler.
