WORTH IT
After a long summer enjoying time outdoors, I felt great. Unfortunately my face was not as rejuvenated as the rest of me.

When the autumn rolled in and my tan faded away, I was distressed by all the new fine lines and pigmented spots decolorating my whole face. The daily sunscreen and occasional sun hats did little to protect my skin.
I live in NYC and saw Dr. Mark Schwartz who recommended the HALO laser treatment.

Dr Mark Schwartz treated me with The HALO laser about 3 weeks ago. I am very pleased with the results. First, numbing cream was applied to my whole face for about an hour, which made the treatment completely comfortable. I felt minimal discomfort afterwards, And used cold compresses and cool air for a half hour after the treatment.
The peeling and scabbing was easy to cover up with concealer, but best to plan around a low key weekend. I'm thrilled to report that my skin tone is now much improved, color and quality, and fine lines much reduced.

I highly recommend the HALO laser to anyone who is looking to improve the tone and evenness of their skin- totally worth it!!

I'm very happy for you, your skin looks wonderful! Glad to hear the procedure was comfortable and the downtime was minimal. Will you be having a second procedure?

are you happy with the results from one? I can't tell too much from the photo. I am trying to decide whether to do the Sciton Halo or the other dual laser, both similar. I am glad to hear you are pleased and not too much down time. do you think you will have any change in your normal pigmentation?

Yes very happy from one treatment. Almost all of my brown spots are gone. I have a few stubborn spots that are that are now much lighter, which I think would benefit from a second treatment. I can't speak about other lasers, but I am a HALO believer

I ha my face neck and declophage(chest) done. No pain a like a
flash of 1 hour of warmth. I'm fine no pain at all. If this works I will do it one more time in 4 months. I have no wrinkes or blemishes on my face, yet I still wanted the face to be even with the chest. Maybe sounds stupid, but I have been lucky after living in Hawaii for 20 years at SUnset, but my face never bit the dust, it's my chest that had tiny sunspots lots as I aged,
I used creams so they were not bad, but I want everything clear.
I hate putting out the money, but I am always doing something, and if is not me it's my grown children who I want to do their best and often I guide them back to the right road, even those it has become less and less. They bring so much joy to me. So now we hear it's time for us and I am sure using it for a good appearance, refreshed as I hear it.

Did you notice a reduction in fine lines (if you had any to begin with)?

You look fantastic. Do you have a picture of before? Would love to see it.

I had a Halo peel with Dr Schwartz last week. Loved him and the entire office. Results are fantastic just one week later. I was able to cover everything with makeup well enough that no one noticed anything at work ( and we are a group that doesn't miss a trick). Thrilled and it's only going to get better in the neck few weeks. Helped with fine lines, minimized pores, lightened freckles and sunspots, tightened and brightened. Absolutely worth it. Huge advance in laser peels.
