Halo (on intense setting) vs. TRL to help with fine lines on forehead and around eyes? (photo)

Great question - I like doing both and you option is not only either/or. As a general rule, Halo is better for pores, brightness and overall texture/tone and color than specific lines, although it will get them with more intense treatments. Having done and had both, the healing from Halo is much easier and you are fully recovered faster. After a serious TRL, it is often 10-14 days til you are back in makeup and 3-6 months til all reds/pinks fade.

If you were in my office, I would propose an combined treatment where I started with BBL for antiaging, then used the TRL handpiece to do a moderate TRL resurfacing only over the most intense lines, then blended it out with an intense Halo over all, including eyelids and finally brought you back in at 3 weeks for a ClearSilk followup. That would almost certainly get the line, with easier recovery. If you really needed it, we could also throw a PDO thread in the skin right under the line and repeat that later. Just an idea!
