HALO Laser Treatment

The HALO laser is commonly used on the face to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines & wrinkles, fade pigmentation issues such as sunspots and age spots, and reduce pore size. However, the HALO treatment can also be used to treat similar concerns on other areas of the body, such as the neck, chest, hands, and arms.

The HALO laser is a versatile device that can be used to treat various skin concerns. It combines 2 types of laser wavelengths — ablative and non-ablative — to target different layers of the skin.

Using precise laser technology, the HALO fractional laser can address fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, enlarged pores, pigmented lesions, skin texture irregularities, and vascular changes.

The improvement that can be seen on the skin after a HALO laser treatment should last for years because of the healing response that is generated by the laser. However, it is recommended that patients continue to maintain results with sunscreen and regular BBL treatments (twice per year) for optimal skin quality.

The HALO treatment can be repeated in the future if patients feel their skin requires it more as the ageing process takes place.

Because of its exceptional results, this treatment is a popular procedure among male and female patients wanting to achieve healthy and youthful skin.

The HALO laser stands out among other fractional laser treatments because of its unique hybrid technology. Developed by Sciton — a leader in energy-based medical aesthetics — this state-of-the-art technology combines ablative and non-ablative laser wavelengths for more precise and customisable treatment.

The dual action of the HALO laser targets both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin for optimal skin rejuvenation.

Ablative lasers remove some of outermost layer of skin, making it ideal for addressing superficial skin concerns like surface texture. The non-ablative laser heats the cells in the deeper dermal layer to stimulate collagen production and improve the skin’s firmness and texture over time as well as deeper skin issues like acne scars.

Overall, the HALO laser resurfacing treatment offers superior efficacy, versatility, and patient satisfaction compared to other fractional laser treatments currently offered.

By stimulating collagen production and promoting skin renewal, the Sciton HALO laser treatment can effectively and consistently rejuvenate the skin. The dual-action fractional laser helps address a wide range of skin conditions, including wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, uneven skin tone, pigmentation, enlarged pores, and visible blood vessels.

The level of effectiveness may vary depending on individual factors such as the specific skin concern being treated, the severity of the condition, and the patient’s skin type. Many patients experience visible improvements and more healthy skin after just one HALO treatment, with continued enhancement over time as collagen regenerates. Two sessions may be recommended for patients with more severe skin damage, such as in the treatment of acne scarring.

Patients may notice visible improvements from the HALO laser treatment in about 2–3 weeks after treatment, but the dermal regeneration phase can continue for several months afterwards as the skin continues to improve.

Yes. A HALO hybrid fractional laser treatment is a safe and well-tolerated procedure that delivers precise and controlled laser energy to the epidermis.

The HALO device was developed by Sciton, a company with a long history of creating award-winning laser and light systems for physicians. The treatment is performed by trained healthcare professionals at McKeown Medical and incorporates additional safety measures to minimise risks.

Some individuals may experience temporary side effects after undergoing a HALO treatment. These can include redness, swelling, itching, and a sensation similar to a sunburn. These effects are typically mild and subside within a few days to a week as the skin undergoes its natural healing process.

In rare cases, worsening pigmentation, blistering, or scarring may occur, but they are much less frequent than with previous generations of laser technology.

Following post-treatment care instructions and avoiding excessive sun exposure during the healing process is crucial to minimising the risk of complications. We will provide personalised information regarding potential side effects and how to manage them effectively during your consultation
