Halo Laser: When Will I See Results?

Question

How long does it take to see the results from the treatment?

Kaveh Alizadeh, MD, MSc, FACS · Answer

The advantage of the Halo laser is that you really have two lasers in one. Therefore, you are able to get the benefits for both the short term and the long term, with the short term results appearing within 5-7 days depending on the density your doctor used to teat you. The longer term results will appear over a period of 6-8 weeks as you begin to see the improvements in the texture of your skin and pores. The immediate effect will be some redness followed by the appearance of mends. Over a period of 6-8 weeks there will be a gradual improvement as the skin produces more collagen and has a more harmonious effect with the texture and color of your skin.

There is a recovery period of 5-7 days, when the treated skin has cleared. The actual Halo results may take up to 2 months for the epidermal response as well as dermal collagen rebuilding to occur.  That is why we do not recommend another Halo for at least two months.  However, a VISIA may be done at 1 month to see the progress that is being made. Using the proper products at home after your healing process is important. This will be specific to each patient and will be determined at the time of your treatment.

Hope you found this answer helpful.  All the best!

You should notice an improvement in your skin's light reflection "glow" within 5-7 days after the healing is completed.  The beauty with resurfacing treatments is the results continue to improve with time.  It can take a couple months to see the full results.

The surface clearing, glowing healthy skin with less pigmentation shows up as early as 2 weeks as the redness clears each day.  You will feel smoother, baby fresh skin early on.  About 8 weeks and onwards, as late as 6-9 months, you will see the reduction in lines and wrinkles, some tightness and smoother texture and even pigment complexion.  If you were recommended to undergo more than one treatment for your skin condition, please don't judge full results until at least 2 months after completion of Halo series.  Best wishes on your Halo journey!  Dr B

You will start to see results in 7-10 days. We normally see
you at 4 weeks for follow-up photos to compare the before and after results. Our
VISIA Skin Analysis system can then compare your fine lines and wrinkles, tone
and texture, sun damage and pore size from the before treatment photo as new
collagen continues to build.
