Hey sorry for no updates. We had done a Halo/ BBL combo and decided to hold off on the final BBL because I had been in the sun and my sun spots had gotten a little darker. Overall I'm happy with the combo treatment. I had a very obvious acne scar that smoothed out. However... I think it's hard to say how well the Halo worked on fine lines because guess what? I hadn't been using retinol for weeks! So after my retinol routine gets back on point I'm hoping the glow will return. In the meantime the BBL is awesome and really did well on the age spots. I would just not do it during summer months again. Photo is with tinted sunscreen only.

Great to hear! Thank you for sharing your experience. I am so happy for you. I am going to have the halo done in the winter (less sun) I just want the best skin I can possibly have. Eliminate years of sun damage, reduce acne scars and induce collagen production. Thank you again for sharing.

Most mends are gone from check area but now my chin is starting to get some congestion and my forehead is peeling in little bits its gross. I know acne is a normal after effect but i think when the manufacturers of Halo (sciton) tell you it's a 5 day healing process it is a bunch of baloney. My skin also feels weirdly like paper. Its smooth but the texture isnt as supple I am also STILL a little puffy around the eyes. Anyone else have this?

Are you happy with the procedure? Do you think it helped at all? Or do you thlnk it permanently thinned your skin? I'm sorry it was so painful for you.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I had a BBL & Halo treatment on June 28 ... broke out within 4 days with milia & ever since then have been dealing with big red hurting welts .. I have five new breakouts now! Before the treatment I never broke out. Scheduled for another Halo treatment on Aug 8 but am having second thoughts about it. Any advice?

I’m puffy around the eyes too. My face looks embarrassing with the mends all over it and I can’t even wear makeup to cover it bc it’s so rough. Following your progress, you are a few days ahead of me. :-) Best of luck to you!

Oh wait.....I just looked at the dates, lol never mind. You are a few months ahead of me! How were your results?!?

I have had these procedures many times. Healing time is 10 days to 2 weeks. The results are always wonderful and I look better each time. Hang in!

Day 3/ 4

Day 3 was probably the most uncomfortable as the scabbing was at its peak and itching started. By day 4 I was able to shower and lightly massage my skin for some of the dead stuff to come off. Still really peely and dry.

Yes I took all kinds of photos but havent uploaded them. Face looks good, just had 2nd BBL. But still sensitive (sometimes to touch) and forehead is a bit "orange peeley." No one can tell but me though.
Your skin looks so smooth and nice! Your results are awesome
