Is there any risk that Halo laser will permanently remove beard hair?

The Halo laser does not target pigment (dark hair) and it can not penetrate deep enough to cause injury to the hair follicle, so the Halo laser will NOT cause any loss of hair.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Rejuvenation SpecialistQuintessa

Halo is not made for removing hair and does not penetrate deep enough to effectively damage the hair follicle. It is completely safe to receive even if you have a beard.

HALO does not penetrate deep enough to permanently damage the hair follicles and its wavelength does not target pigment.  You'll be fine with your HALO treatment over beard areas.

Thank you for your excellent question. Halo is a hybrid Fractional laser that gas two wavelengths both of which are in the invisible infrared spectrum. This means that the laser is color blind and only attracted to water in the cells so you can safely go over hair bearing areas without having any effect on the hair follicles.

Halo laser is a fractional laser for skin resurfacing. It does not target the hair and would not be expected to result in hair removal. Lasers that target hair are very different.  Regards,Dr. Ort
