What Does The Halo Laser Feel Like?

I'll be totally honest here. When I had it done to me, I couldn't help but picture a seared scallop. At first, I didn't feel much, but it built and built and for awhile I think it hurt.  Afterward, my face was hot and I craved sitting in front of the Zimmer chiller for as long as possible to get rid of the heat. I then drove home with the A/C blowing on my face. I had two beers and within two hours I felt totally fine. The next day I went about my business as if nothing happened.  So really, we're talking two hours of feeling really hot, then fine. You should also know that when I get sick I'm exceedingly useless compared to my wife who went all natural for delivery number 3, so my colorful description of 3 minutes of pain during the last bit of the procedure and the burning afterwards might deserve to be taken with a grain of salt. 

When adequate amount of topical numbing cream is applied(we use a 23/7 cream), the typical patient during treatment describes the pain level as a 2 or 3 out of 10.  Pretty easy.  Once the treatment is completed, you will then go through several hours where you 'feel the burn'.  Ice packs, cold air are all that is needed to manage getting through those first couple hours.   Once the skin 'seals' it is painless and a very predictable healing process.   Most of my patients claim a Halo hurts less than full face corrective BBL.
