The 'mends' of Halo are expected, you are getting a great response to the treatment. Mends stands for 'microscopic epithelial necrotic debris’, which is a result of the ablative portion of the laser creating these columns that are absorbed into the dermis that come to the surface. Your skin will look and feel like sandpaper for 5-7 days. Gentle washing of the face ( no picking or scrubbing), followed by Cicalfate cream 9 used in our office helps heal the skin. We also schedule a follow up at 1 month to check progress.Hope you found this answer helpful. All the best!
This is a normal and expected part of the healing process. It sounds like you responded well to treatment. Your skin will have a rough texture during this phase, but after 5-7 days the majority of the "MENDs" should shed. Good luck and enjoy your results!!
