Halo Laser Side Effects

The Halo laser, a cutting-edge skin resurfacing technology, has become a popular choice for those seeking smoother, younger-looking skin. But like any medical procedure, it’s important to understand the potential Halo laser side effects before diving in. We have performed countless Halo laser treatments in our office and are the leading provider in the area.

What is the Halo Laser?

The Halo laser is the first of its kind combining two wavelengths of light of ablative and non-ablative laser.

This combination approach delivers dramatic results for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Sun damage and age spots
• Acne scars

The Glowing Side of the Halo

So, what can you expect after a Halo laser treatment? Most patients experience:

• Improved skin tone and texture: You’ll start to see noticeable results within a few weeks, with full effects peaking at 3-6 months.
• Immediate redness and swelling: This is normal and usually subsides within a few days.
• Mild flaking and peeling: As the treated skin sheds, new, healthy skin emerges.

Is a Halo Laser Treatment Safe?

While the Halo laser is generally safe, in rare cases a small complications can occur. It is important to follow pre and post care instructions to minimize this.

Minimizing Any Complications

Choosing a qualified and experienced practitioner is key to minimizing side effects. At Glow Theory, we are experienced experts with the halo laser. We will assess your skin and tailor the treatment to your needs. Following post-care instructions diligently will also help to improve your outcome.This includes:

Halo vs. Other Resurfacing Treatments

Compared to traditional ablative lasers, Halo offers:

• Less downtime: Most patients return to work within a few days.
• Reduced risk of scarring: The fractional approach minimizes the risk of scarring.
