The Halo can be effective in reducing pore size and treating acne scarring. Depending on the severity of the scarring a more aggressive treatment may be necessary. It is always best to consult with a provider that can analyze your skin and recommend the best procedures to address your concerns. Good luck!
You need a cosmetic dermatologist who specializes in acne scarring/pigmentation and does a combination of treatments including: surgery, subcision, or TCA cross for deep or pitted "ice pick" scars; fillers like Bellafill or Sculptra or Radiesse for broad "boxcar" or "rolling" scars; Eclipse Micropen for all types of scars and improvement in texture and tone; lasers such as co2 laser resurfacing or Fraxel/Clear+Brilliant or radiofrequency such as Venus Viva to improve the scars and give long term collagen production. There are many options but you want someone who can customize a regimen for your short and long term goals based on your individual situation. Best, Dr. Emer.
Yes. Halo does reduce pore size and ice pick scars. In my opinion it works better for these issues than any other device I have tried. That being said, it is important that the person doing your treatment and or supervising your treatment is very experienced with the device and can choose appropriate treatment settings to give you an optimal result. Typically I recommend multiple treatments about a month apart for optimal results. at least commit to 2 treatments spaced about a month apart and then you can wait 4-6 months and repeat for additional benefit.I hope this helps!Dr. Quenby Erickson

Although the majority of your skin is healed at this point, you still have some healing that is taking place and this can often lead to dryness. We recommend a Hydrafacial treatment to all of our Halo patients 2 weeks after surgery to help exfoliate any remaining skin and infuse hydration...
Although the Halo laser is not primarily for skin tightening, many patients do feel and see a tightening effect. The ablative setting of this laser is takes off dead skin and the non-ablative layer stimulates collagen causing a natural tightening effect.
