Halo (Mini) for Melasma

If you’ve read any of my other reviews you know that so far my quest has mostly been about softening/eliminating my acne scarring and overall anti-aging.

As my review title indicates however, I now have melasma as well. I was surprised too when I heard the news. See I was actually going in for a BBL (Broad Band Light) consult, but after images were taken of my face that showed sun damage I was made aware of the fact that I suffer from melasma and three series of the mini Halo laser would help more than the BBL.

I was numbed for 45 minutes so the procedure was relatively painless and quick; 15 minutes roughly. My face felt instantly hot though and for the first two hours the fan and thermal water spray were my best friends. As the day has gone on the heat has dissipated, but now the itchiness is setting in.

Was able to was with mild cleanser this morning given to me by doctor. All pain is gone, but slight itchiness remains. Between this morning and this afternoon my skin has become more brown and dried out.

My face is feeling pretty tight today. Given the look of it I imagine I’ll start to peel by later tonight or tomorrow. VERY excited to see my new skin. So far I think this will be worth it. I was also will start using brightening cream in a couple of days
