When can I expect to return to work and resume normal activities after treatment?
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!
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.
