I went into this procedure with high expectations. I'm still healing so I can not give a definite review yet. But, if they say you can go back to work or out in public the same day or the next day .... well, that wasn't my experience. It looks and feels like a bad sunburn. I'm swollen, splotchy, and tight even with using the lotions they supplied. The doctor and assistants were fantastic. I have nothing negative to say about them. But, plan on taking a couple of days off work or staying at home. The procedure itself was just a little uncomfortable like little needles pokes. I will review again in a few days when my face heals.

Six Days after Halo Treatment
dsgarrett1November 10, 2015
Wow ... what a difference a few days make. The first three days were rough. The fourth day the brown spotty things on my face started sloughing off. The fifth day I really went out in public, still no makeup, but i wasn't as self-conscious of the redness or blotchiness. The new baby skin showing is nice and pink. The staff at Bearwood Center has been so wonderful. We have been texting and sending pics of my face. They have responded and given me confidence that everything is on track.
One new point to bring up ... if you get cold sores (i do), be sure to tell your doctor so that he/she can prescribe an ointment or pills to deter your chances of getting a breakout from the Halo Treatment. I did get the prescription for Acyclovir to ward off the eruption ... still got a small breakout that could have been much worse without the meds.

2 Weeks after Halo Treatment
dsgarrett1November 18, 2015
Within a week of the treatment my skin was glowing. Sun spots, Gone! Age spots, Gone! Broken vessels, Gone!
In the past I had to put on layers of makeup to hide my spots even after applying makeup people would think I had been in the sun because it looked as though my skin was peeling. After Dr. Holdredge did my Halo Treatment I am now radiant! I nor others could believe how refreshed and even my skin was after treatment. I no longer needed to wear foundation or concealer, I simply put on the tinted spf he recommended for me and I was out the door with glowing even skin. The turn around time was short ... right at a week. I did have a cold sore breakout on my chin even with the prescribed Acyclovir to try and prevent it. That area took a few extra days to heal properly. I don't blame the doctors for this ... my skin is sensitive to stress and sunburns in that area. It could have been much worse without the Acyclovir. I can't thank Dr. Holdrege or Dr. Bruner and their team at Bearwood in Anderson, SC. They are beyond hospitable and genuinely caring. They made me feel very comfortable and left me with amazing results.

I had Halo 8 days ago. I did not go out for 4 days. On the 5th day, I put on make up and went to work but still had swelling so everyone looked at me funny. I had to wash my face mid day to eliminate dry skin. Each day improved tremendously over the last. Sunspots gone, skin looks more even and yes, it glows! Anne Marie, Dr. Holdridge and Jessica were awesome. I go tomorrow for after pictures and Botox. Next week BBL. This 57 y/o is a lifetime customer of Bearwood.

I found everyone at Bearwood AWESOME!! I had after pics done yesterday, 11-17-2015. While there I mentioned that I would have liked for my lips to have been a little more ... Dr. Holdrege stopped what he was doing to give me one more injection for my lips and I love the new look. I can't say enough great words for the doctors and staff at Bearwood. I love my new look.
