What is the ideal time between Halo procedures? I have my first treatment 5 weeks ago.

Question

I had my first Halo procedure 5 weeks ago. I'm going to have a second treatment, how long should I wait?

Faiyaaz Kalimullah, MD, FAAD · Answer

This is an excellent question!  I generally recommend waiting at least 6-8 weeks between Halo treatments - this allows your skin to heal fully between treatment, and also allows us to see the initial results of your prior treatments.  It takes several weeks to see the full extent of collagen stimulation after a Halo treatment (in some cases up to 12 weeks), so I don't like to perform treatments too closely together.  The results build on themselves, so a series of treatments is often best.  Best of luck!

Thank you for your question.  Halo is an excellent laser that will address many skin issues.  If the patient should need a second treatment in one year, we recommend scheduling the treatments three to six months apart for optimal results.

Robert G. Aycock, MD, FACS · Answer

Optimal results take about 6-8 weeks. If you know that you need more laser after your first treatment, then you can follow up with your doctor and schedule another treatment. Each treatment will be different depending what your skin needs and what the laser protocols are in the office.

As mentioned here before lots depend of the Halo treatment parameters (density, ratio of ablative to non-ablative, combination with other treatments such as BBL, etc) and skin condition to be addressed. In my practice we repeat it every 3 to 6 months. Results are more vivid and dramatic if combined with full field resurfacing.

Rebecca Gelber, MD · Answer

A lot depends on the intensity of your Halo. With light Halo treatments, I have many patients find that doing a series every 6-8 weeks is great. For more intense ones, I have patients wait 10-12 weeks. The collagen building effects are cumulative, so if you can do a series, the results are amazing!
