Do you have any tips to help me 4.5 days after Halo treatment? (Photo)

Hi there,
Thank you for your question and picture.
I am concerned about the degree of skin sloughing you appear to have.  This is not typical of a post Halo convalesce.  We do not recommend using any kind of topical occulsive creams with Halo. You should be using a very gentle cleanser such a Ceravae cleanser and also a very hydrating moisturizer such as Ceravae.  I am a bit worried that you may have an underlying infection because of the Vaseline ointment.  I would recommend getting in touch with your treatment provider immediately for a follow up appointment.
Good luck.

You seem to have a lot of skin sloughing and need to make sure that the skin is cleansed twice a day with a gentle cleanser. without knowing your exact Halo settings its impossible to know if this is normal. That beings said, I just got my Halo done two days ago and am using the Alastin nectar. I recommend it for all my patients and they do well and it reduces downtime and speeds up recovery. Its important to follow up with your provider and see if they think your healing is expected for the specific Halo settings you had in your treatment. Best, Dr. Ali

Have you tried washing your face in the shower or with a washcloth. This will help take off the dead skin. It's very common where patients are too gentle after a laser procedure. You should expect to be pink underneath the washing. At 4.5 days post halo, you do not need to use the vaseline anymore. A lighter moisturizer and makeup can be applied at this point. If this still concerns you, please follow up with your laser specialist.
