When will I see results?

Question

Hello, I am almost 2 weeks out from a medium Sciton Halo treatment (20%) and a BBL forever young combo. I am seeing no amazing changes like I keep reading/hearing about. My next treatment is in two weeks. When will I see results?

Thank you for your question about when to expect results from your Sciton Halo treatment.  Everyone is different in how soon they will see results.  Your skin actually continues to improve over time (weeks to months) with collagen remodeling underneath the skin's surface.  Within the first 2-3 weeks, most patients will see their pigmentation improve, followed by deeper skin regeneration that keeps improving ove the ensuing months.If you have further questions or concerns, it is advised that you contact the provider that performed your procedure.   hope this helps.

Hi there, The collagen stimulation after laser treatment can happen over the course of several months, up to 6 months. Often times, it about a month before you see the skin really have that glow, like our patients report from Halo. If you had discoloration/brown spots, those often will start to flake off over the first few weeks following BBL. If there were not many brown spots, then the BBL will gradually help to improve the skin over time. We normally recommend 3-5 BBL (if done independently) and 2 Halo treatments. Combined, as you are doing, you may need less. It all depends on what conditions you are trying to treat and where the skin was when starting treatment (amount of sun damage, collagen loss, etc). Hopefully the practice took before pictures so you can see the progress. Best, Dr. Grant Stevens

With only 20% of the surface area treated, it will take at least 2 treatments to see a result. The brown color, especially when BBL 515 is done at the same time will improve over several weeks. Texture and fine lines will take longer. Need time for new collagen growth. Good luck
