I am confused about acne scarring procedures and trying to decide which one's right for me. Is Halo considered an ablative procedure, non-ablative, or both? I have acne scarring, so is it worthwhile to do HALO & will it produce similar results to say a CO2 laser? Or would I be better off with non-laser treatments, like TCA cross or subscision? I am hoping the HALO laser will be a good solution for clearing up acne scars and a general refresh.

Answer: Halo laser for acne scars Great question! Halo is actually the only laser which is both ablative and non-ablative. We were fortunate enough to receive the very first Halo prototype, so have been researching its benefits in scars for years. It is great in that you can dial up or down both the ablative and non-ablative components depending on goals, skin type and downtime tolerance. I would personally never use any form of CO2 in your darker skin type due to much higher risk of permanent hypo pigmentation.

Answer: Halo Laser Treatment Thanks for your question. It sounds like you have been doing a lot of research. The Halo is both ablative and non-ablative at the same time, but the beauty is that it is tunable for each patient based on his/her needs. Our Halo device is being used all day long and we've really been happy with the results we are seeing. To get the best possible result with acne scarring, you may need a comprehensive approach (laser resurfacing, microneedling, fillers, and skin care products). I hope that helps a little.
