I have some pinpoint bleeding after my Halo treatment, is this normal?
Answer: Halo Laser Procedure Thank you for your question about the Halo procedure. The Halo treatment offers both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths. The benefit of the Halo is that patients get the benefit of an ablative laser without the downtime of a fully ablative laser. Providers are able to fine tune the settings using the Halo Pro setting to address patients' concerns. Examples of concerns the Halo procedure will address are fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and sun damage. Depending on the depth and density of your treatment, it is perfectly normal to have pinpoint bleeding occur. To be sure you receive the best treatment, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Answer: Halo treatments don't usually have any bleeding 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

Answer: Pinpoint Bleeding after Halo 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. Feel free to call our office or come in for a complementary consultation. Best, Dr. Grant Stevens
