I am currently doing a series of Skin pen treatments. I am also doing a Halo laser. How long should I wait in between?

Question

David A. Sieber, MD, FACS · Answer

Thanks for the great question. This is something you will always want to ask the doctor treating you, but if I have a patient who is having multiple procedures which cannot be done at the same time, then I typically have them wait at least 8 weeks in-between. In my opinion, I would have the Halo done first and see what your results are like afterwards. There is a chance you may not even need the skin pen after a successful Halo treatment! Best of luck!~Dr. Sieber

What is your end goal? HALO has both an ablative wavelength (erbium) and non - ablative - deeper wavelength. Skin pen is similar to erbium EXCEPT erbium generates heat and HSP or Heat Shock Protein. The target for erbium and NA is water in your skin. Essentially you are doubling up on treatments. If you insist that you want BOTH - I would conduct both procedures on the same day. This will minimise your downtime significantly. Dr Davin S. Lim, Brisbane. Australia.
