When can I expect to return to work and resume normal activities after treatment?
Answer: Customizing treatment, leads to customized downtime The great thing about the Halo laser is that you customize it according to your needs, very much like the dimmer on a light switch. The shortest downtime for Halo, with slight skin redness and swelling, is approximately 2-3 days. If you decided to a more impactful treatment you may have as much as 5-7 days of redness, peeling, and swelling, however, the treatment results will be more dramatic.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Downtime after Halo This will greatly depend on the setting used and you particular response to the treatment. In general, minimal downtime is expected particularly with a "mild" setting. It common to have sweeling for about 2 days and then little brown spots will show up and fall in the next 2-3 day. Most patients don't really consider the process as downtime, unless a more aggressive treatment is performed. Best, Dr. RG

Answer: Downtime with Halo Hybrid There will always be some downtime with the Halo Hybrid laser. Unfortunately there has been media that has deemed it a no downtime procedure. Typical downtime (although “downtime” is relative to each person) is about 5 days however the heat generated during this treatment can cause swelling and redness. Following Post care instructions is of the upmost importance and a homecare routine suggested by your provider to maintain results is beneficial. Two treatments are typically recommended.

Answer: Halo - downtime There is minimal downtime with the Halo. Patients may have mild to moderate swelling for a few days after the procedure. Redness and tiny brown spots will occur, but can likely be covered with make-up 24 hours after treatment. Hope this helps!

Answer: Downtime with Halo True "downtime" for most is less than 12 hours. There is a couple of hours of a burning sensation that goes away. You will have some discoloration that lasts for a week or so. However, if you take good care of your skin with great aftercare products, it will speed up the process. Also, I strongly recommend Oxygenetix foundation for my patients (both men and women). They can start using this 24 hours after Halo and often this covers up most of the discoloration.
