Does Halo Treat Nasolabial Folds?

folds are due to loss of volume and a resurfacing laser doesnt help improve folds.  a combination of fillers, skin tightening and resurfacing is best for overall improvement.  Best, Dr. Emer.

This is a great question because it's a reminder that one treatment is never a cure-all.  A lot of one thing is not the answer, but a little of everything will provide you with a beautiful, natural-looking outcome.  With all of that being said, the Halo is not the best solution, nor is it intended to treat heavy folds.  A derma filler or fat grafting is the best solution to correct nasolabial folds.  

Thank you very much for your question.  In this day and age we have so many products and services (surgical and non-surgical) to treat so many different things that it can all get a bit confusing.  No, the Halo laser is not for treating nasolabial folds.  The Halo laser is for treating fine lines and wrinkles, large pore size, poor skin texture, uneven skin tone, sunspots, and poor skin complexion.  It does a tremendous job with those issues and the patients in my practice have been thrilled with their results and the lack of significant downtime after the procedure.  To treat nasolabial folds, we typically use soft tissue fillers (Restylane, Juvederm, etc) to add volume to the cheeks/midface area and to the nasolabial fold area to soften the folds.  I hope this clears it up for you.  Thanks again and best of luck to you.
