Can Halo Laser be used after facial fillers?

Question

Is it possible to have Halo Laser Treatments if one already has facial fillers? I am wondering whether the halo laser would cause the fillers to break down faster or cause any other problems like lumps etc etc?

Hannah Vargas, MD · Answer

Yes, you may.  Consult with your provider on the type of filler you have had injected.  Usually, these treatments are in different depths of the face and are not an issue.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I typically do laser and then fillers unless its ablative like co2 laser, then I do fillers then lasers.  Everyone will have a difference of opinion but I often do these on the same day.  Best, Dr. Emer.

A very simple answer is in order.  Halo can be done over the top of all fillers, with the possible exception of Belotero which is the most superficially injected filler.   Think of it this way: Halo treatment uses two different wavelengths of laser energy, right on top of each other.  Only laser that can do this.   Treatment is based on depth of treatment as well as density(the number of holes you are place per area).  A deep treatment with Halo is creating columns of injury at 500 microns, which is about 0.5 millimeters.  Virtually all fillers are easily 2+ mm in depth or more.  Halo effectively is treating way above where the fillers are.

Having fillers in place is not a contraindication to having a Halo Laser. If interested in getting fillers after the procedure I would wait until you feel there is no residual swelling and your skin is clear. This may be any time from a couple of days to a couple of weeks based on the aggressiveness of your treatment.The combination of volume replacement with fillers and skin rejuvenation with laser treatments is a very nice complimentary way to stay looking fresh and rejuvenated. If you are interested in trying to do both procedures at the same time I would speak with your physician about their specific recommendations based on what you need and where.

We always recommend waiting at least 4 weeks after any injections.  There have not been any reports that the Halo laser can breakdown products but if you are worried consider having the laser procedure done first and then follow up with all your injectables.

Thank you for your question.   Halo laser treatment can be done approximately 72 hours after filler treatment.   It is generally recommended to wait at least 7-10 days after Botox treatment before undergoing any Halo procedures.

Kris M. Reddy, MD, FACS · Answer

Halo can be done post fillers - generally 72 hours post filler to allow the skin to heal post filler. Patients need to wait longer after botox.
