Recovery time from a Halo treatment is directly related to the depth and density of treatment given. The deeper you go and the more densely you pack the columns of energy, the longer the recovery. For most of our patients we tell them that they should be makeup ready in about 4 or 5 days. I personally have had a Halo treatment and was working the next day, so one can return to normal activities if a bit of swelling, redness and subsequent microflaking doesn't bother you. Halo is a great treatment with very predictable and tolerable recovery.
Hello and thank you for your question! The downtime from the Halo varies per patient and is also dependent on the depth and density of the treatment. For some concerns, we will want to go more aggressive but Fri - Tues is a good amount of time for healing. You still may have some dry, flaky skin. Let your provider know you want to be presentable by Tuesday. Best, Dr. Grant Stevens
Most patients do not miss work post Halo. Typically, you will be red post treatment (lasting 1 to 2 days). On the 3rd day, you will start flaking which may last 1 day to multiple days. Most patients do not find this process such that they need to miss work.
That depends on the intensity of the laser. You can apply makeup by the third day and go to work. But if you are asking when all those tiny brown spots will flake off a moderate intensity takes about a week.
These two treatments are as different as night and day. . A nanopeel is the most superficial 'full field' laser treament where the topmost layer of skin is removed at a very precise depth, thus encourging the treated area to heal in a fashion very similar to a chemical peel, but without any c...
Hi and thank you for your question. We have the Halo laser at our office and have had wonderful results with the procedure. We also have noticed some people experience much more swelling than others, for reasons not exactly clear. They seem to experience more of a histamine reaction. This is...
Botox is injected deep into the muscles and the Halo laser treatment affects only the skin. They are not affected by one another. Its no problem to do both treatments on the same day ,Good Luck!
Thank you, mr77, for asking this question. The simple answer is that getting VOLUMA filler injected doesn't prevent you from having a Halo laser skin resurfacing procedure. The Halo laser is a unique hybrid that uses 2 different laser wavelengths to penetrate beneath the skin at...
I basically create levels for individual patients typically based on the amount of downtime they would like what we are trying to treat.Halo is completely individualized so the laser can be adjusted in so very many ways. There is no standard for "levels" this is just dependent on the...
I find that clear + brilliant with microneedling/PRP and skin care is the best for melasma. once its under control you can try something stronger like venus viva or fraxel or halo. often melasma can recur if you do something too strong to start. you should do peels in between...
