I have some brown patches and fine lines I wanted to improve. Halo was suggested. I was numbed for an hour, then bbl was performed. The procedure took awhile, as the nurse measured my face, put settings into computer, then started. She does the procedure in sections on the face. It w a new painful until she was almost done, and my face had the most intense firey feeling that I have ever expwrienced. I had a chiller hose to help, but when you remove, we'll I couldn't deal! It took about 1.5 hrs. for pain to go away. Very little swelling last night (day of procedure), but this morning, I was a cabbage patch kid. My eyes arealself SUPER SUPER swollen. I sent pic to nurse and she said that it was normal. However, I couldn't handle it, so I went to regular doctor to get shot and presidone. Will update as cabbage patch kid face goes down! I hope this crap is worth it!

BBL is not the same as Halo.

I had Halo Pro...you have Bbl first, then Halo in same session....the combined effect is supposedly synergistic. That's what they do at my cosmetic surgeon's office, at least!

Oh that makes sense. I had the BBl at a separate time and the Halo Pro in November.

I was just checking my emails and thank you for sharing... I further read this site for first time in months and I had same procedure "Halo" .
I had to laugh in a positive way as I have said in the past " I look like a little cabbage patch kid that put their head in oven". I looked the same and I actually had it twice on lowest settings and then did the "BBL" months after and would not do halo again ... works great for some yet personally the 1 BBL treatment on the LOWEST setting made a little difference. I have rosacea, fine lines and sensitive skin ...hope this helps you and/or others.
Thanks for sharing and I hope you are happy with results

I have upcoming Halo and suggested to wait at least 4 weeks for BBL. Reading for advice so glad I was not recommended to have both at same time

The Mends or "crusties" came off today. I used a washcloth and tried to get them off. Face is still red, a little raw and dry. I'm still swollen, but the improvement from yesterday am (day 3) to 5pm day 4 was dramatic, thank you, as I have work tomorrow. Fine line improvement ...can't tell yet, as I'm still swollen...will keep updating, as I like to be able to see other people's procedures almost day by day.

hello. I wanted to ask you if at the end the halo treatment was worth it, how about for fine lines?
