I am scheduled for a Halo Laser treatment on my neck and face to help with hyper-pigmentation. I am 48 years old and have some minor sagging under my chin. Also I can tell that my face has a slight droop to it that wasn't there when in my 30s. Can I expect the Halo Laser to help tighten these areas? Even a minor lift would be great!
Answer: Halo and Skin Tightening This is a very good question, because often times the expectation is that one laser treatment will be able to address the multiple problems that you may have. In your particular scenario, you will definitely see an improvement int he pigmentation as well as the vascularity and pore size. Halo can even be effective for some of the fine lines around the eyes and lips. However, Halo will not be effective in tightening your skin. The most consistently effective procedure for tightening any sagging of the neck area is a surgical lift, which will also provide you with the longest lasting results. Short of that, there are a number of procedures such as a mini lift, or using ultherapy or radio frequency which have shown some benefit. However, the results are not dramatic, and you have to decide whether it is worth the time and money to pursue these other modalities.

Answer: Halo Laser Procedure Thank for your question about the Halo procedure and skin tightening. Although the Halo is not indicated for skin tightening, patients can expect a small degree of tightening. Everyone is different in how soon they will see results from their treatment. You will often begin to see smoother brighter skin within 3-6 days. 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 over the ensuing months. To be sure you receive appropriate treatment, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Answer: Halo And Skin tightening. I personally have tried different technologies and my patients have been very pleased with their result with Halo, particularly color, tone, wrinkle reduction and overall skin appearance. Halo is not primarily a 'tightening' procedure but many of my patients have told me they feel a 'lift' effect. In my opinion, there is no technology yet available that would substitute a good neck/facelift yet. Best, Dr. RG

Answer: Halo Tightening 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.

Answer: Halo for Sagging Skin Halo is an excellent choice to help reduce pigmentation. You should not expect the Halo to tighten sagging skin. While this treatment does, in fact, tighten the skin, it is minimal and usually not significant enough to be a solution. I would suggest that you consult with a provider for surgical options to address these needs.
