I have had numerous treatments with the erbium laser and they have worked fairly well. The doctor who does the erbium laser suggested trying Halo next. Since it is much more expensive I'd like to know if it will be effective?
Answer: HALO and syringoma treatment The HALO laser will not remove syringomas. Syringomas are deeper in the skin and are best treated with the Erbium:YAG or CO2 laser like you have been doing. Unfortunately you can continue to develop more syringomas over time. I would recommend continuing the Erbium:YAG treatments over HALO.Best wishes,Cody Koch

Answer: Halo for syringomas? Syringomas are distinct lesions located in the deeper tissues of eyelid skin. These need to be specifically 'drilled' out in order to remove them. Electric needles help to shrink them, but using a fine beam of erbium or CO2 laser to ablate them is the most effective. After numbing the eyelid skin and protecting your eyes with stainless steel protective lenses, we then treat individual lesions until they have been removed. Fractional treatments are great for overall skin texture but because the delivery of columns of energy is random, you are not specifically removing a lesion, so this is less effective overall as a treatment for syringomas.
