Is pinpoint bleeding normal after Halo?

If you are having pinpoint bleeding after a Halo, it's nothing to worry about, but it is unusual. I would recommend you see your provider, just so they can make sure everything is going as planned. Most Halo patients can wear a heavy moisturizer (that can help with itchiness and dryness) and makeup (to cover the tiny darker spots) the day after the laser, so I would not expect you to have any oozing after the first 24 hours.Any warmness you feel should also improve in the first few days and is normal.I think you will be impressed with your final outcome.Andrew Campbell, M.D.Facial Plastic SpecialistQuintessa Aesthetic Centers

Hi and thank you for your question! Yes, we do see pinpoint bleeding after the Halo. This is depending on the depth & density of the treatment, as well as the each individual patients skin. For example, someone with a lot of existing sun damage, often has thicker and more tough skin, these patients may not respond the same way as a patient with soft more supple skin, which may have more of a pinpoint bleeding response. Also, we often see pinpoint bleeding in the areas of greatest concern, where we may have done extra passes or a higher energy level.
