Why aren't I healing better after Day 6 of Halo?

It's
normal for the skin to feel dry after HALO Laser Skin Resurfacing. This can last anywhere from 5 to
14 days depending on the settings of the laser and what you are treating (ie: discoloration, texture, wrinkles, etc).  I do
not typically recommend anyone to use an ointment after treatment. Instead, I recommend the use of Avene Post-care Kit after a HALO treatment. I
also send my patients home with Lasercyn spray to use for 48 hours after. This
is used manage post-laser itch and pain associated with laser
skin resurfacing, along with enhanced healing. Milia can occur and I see this more often if occlusive
ointment is used.  I would follow up with
your provider to see if any adjustments need to be made.Hope you found this answer helpful.

After having a halo treatment it is normal to experience a sandpaper-like texture to the face and worse in some areas versus another. You will see changes in your skin for 3-6 months. Follow up with provider regularly for after care protocols for the different stages after laser treatments. Hope this helps.

It takes skin anywhere from day 2-10 to recover or in some cases longer depending on protocol used/skins condition. Milia and bumps are normal as the laser sometimes dry out the skin, consider using a water in oil based product such as HA serum to hydrate and maybe an oil free moisterizer. Ask your provider to review your post skin care needs as they would know best. 

It's normal for the skin to feel really dry after the Halo. It does take some time for your skin to adjust but keep applying moisturizer. The best person to follow up with is your dermatologist that gave you the treatment. Milia and bumps are not uncommon but it could mean you need a different cream.
