What logo Is HALO®?

HALO® represents a huge shift in laser resurfacing technology. As the only hybrid fractional laser available, it simultaneously delivers two distinct wavelengths, 1470nm non-ablative and 2940nm ablative, to the same microscopic treatment zone. This dual-wavelength design creates a powerful synergistic effect, targeting both superficial and deep skin concerns in one precise pass. The ablative wavelength removes damaged surface cells while the non-ablative energy penetrates deeper to stimulate collagen production.
Whether you’re addressing years of accumulated sun damage, persistent discoloration, texture irregularities, or visible signs of aging, HALO® offers customizable intensity levels that our expert providers use to tailor each treatment to your concerns. The revolutionary Dynamic Thermal Optimization technology continuously monitors your skin’s temperature throughout treatment, automatically adjusting energy delivery to ensure consistent, safe, and predictable results. This sophisticated approach allows us to achieve outcomes that previously required multiple treatments with older laser technologies, often delivering remarkable improvements in just 1-2 sessions.

How Does HALO® Work?

HALO® operates through a combination of ablative and non-ablative laser energy delivered to microscopic treatment zones throughout your skin. The 2940nm Er:YAG ablative wavelength precisely removes thin layers of damaged epidermal tissue, creating controlled micro-wounds that trigger your body’s natural healing reaction. Simultaneously, the 1470nm non-ablative wavelength penetrates deeper into the dermis without breaking the surface, heating tissue to precise temperatures that stimulate fibroblast activity and new collagen formation.
As the ablative energy clears away damaged surface cells, the non-ablative wavelength travels beneath to remodel deeper structures, targeting the pigmentation, elastosis, and vascular irregularities that contribute to an aged appearance. The fractional delivery system treats only a percentage of your skin’s surface area while leaving surrounding tissue intact, which dramatically accelerates healing compared to traditional full-field resurfacing.
The precision system of HALO® features integrated cooling technology and sophisticated motion-tracking software that maps your facial contours, ensuring even energy distribution across every treatment zone. Over the following weeks, your skin undergoes a remarkable transformation as damaged tissue is replaced by healthy cells and collagen production continues to strengthen and refine your complexion from within.

What Are The Benefits Of HALO®?

HALO® revitalizes your skin from the inside out, targeting multiple layers of damage at once to reveal a beautiful complexion.
Whether your goal is to restore your skin’s youthful glow or sustain its long-term vitality, HALO® delivers exceptional results that effortlessly become part of your personalized skincare journey at Serenity.

The logo Treatment Process

Your HALO® experience begins with a consultation designed to assess your skin’s unique characteristics and goals. During this appointment, one of our skilled providers will carefully evaluate factors such as sun damage, pigmentation irregularities, texture concerns, and visible signs of aging.
Approximately 30-60 minutes before your session, a topical numbing cream is applied for your comfort. Once your skin is properly anesthetized, we use the device’s motion-tracking technology to digitally map your treatment area, guaranteeing precise and even coverage. The HALO® device is gently rolled across the skin, delivering harmonized pulses of ablative and non-ablative energy, while integrated cooling keeps the surface comfortable throughout. A full facial treatment typically takes between 30-45 minutes to complete.
Immediately after your HALO® session, your skin will feel warm and appear flushed. It usually fades within an hour, though a light heat sensation may linger for several more. Over the next 24 hours, you may notice tightness and redness. By days 2-3, your skin develops a bronzed, sandpaper-like texture as microscopic epidermal debris begins to surface. Around days 4-5, this layer naturally exfoliates, unveiling fresh skin beneath. Most clients feel comfortable resuming normal activities and applying makeup within 24-48 hours, though visible flaking can persist for a few days.
Initial radiance becomes noticeable within 2-5 days as renewed skin emerges. However, the most significant improvements continue to develop over the next 2-3 months as deep dermal remodeling takes place and collagen production intensifies. During this time, you’ll observe a gradual softening of fine lines, a refined texture, reduced discoloration, and a vibrant glow.

Common FAQs

HALO® is tolerable for a treatment of this caliber. With topical anesthetic and integrated cooling technology, most clients experience only warmth and mild prickling sensations.
Many clients achieve their desired results with just 1-2 HALO® treatments, a significant advantage over older fractional technologies that often require 5-6 sessions.
HALO® is safe and effective for most skin types due to its precise wavelength control and customizable settings. Your provider will evaluate your specific skin type during your consultation.
Many clients combine HALO® with BBL® therapy for enhanced pigment correction, or integrate it with their injectable maintenance schedule for complete facial rejuvenation. Our providers will recommend the ideal treatment sequence to achieve your aesthetic vision.

You'll notice improvements in skin clarity and texture within the first week as fresh skin emerges. The most significant transformation develops over 2-3 months as collagen remodeling continues and deeper improvements become visible.
