What are the halo post-op instructions?
Answer: Post-Halo Instructions The post-care instructions for Halo may vary for provider. At our office we give 1 GM of Valtrex and 10 mg Prednisone just prior to the procedure and 2 days post-therapy. We also use Alastin Nectar Serum only for the first 24 hours and Alastin Occclusive Moisturizer for 1-2 weeks. Immediately post-procedure we use a Skin Ceuticals mask to help with cooling measures. We do not recommend any exfoliation for two week. It is especially important to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen for two weeks after the Halo as the skin is still healing.

Answer: Halo - Post Care Your provider should give you post care instructions that you should follow. Usually, post care will be some brand of gentle cleanser and lotion that you will use for up to the first week after treatment. You would next start introducing medical grade products into you regimen for best results.

Answer: Clean, Hydrate, Protect As with most ablative lasers, after Halo, we need to keep the skin clean with a non exfoliating cleanser, preserve moisture and protect with a physical SPF. The most common problem we notice is preserving the moisture level. As the Halo laser wavelength targets the water molecule in the skin, there is significant trans epidermal water loss. The second most common problem is redness. This improves after the first three days. Do not use any exfoliants or Retinol containing products for at least 2-4 weeks. Must protect your new baby skin from UV A and UV B rays!! Hope this helps! Best, Dr B

Answer: Halo Post Care Hi and thank you for you question! We recommend a gentle cleanser and moisturizer such as cetaphil and suggest a post recovery serum with growth factors such as Recovery complex. In addition, we suggest the patient does "Vinegar Soaks" a few times per day (for the first 3-5 days or so) with 1 tablespoon of white vinegar mixed with room temperature water. This helps the healing process. Best, Dr. Grant Stevens
