HALO™ by Sciton Laser Skin Resurfacing

Genetics, aging and sun damage can cause a whole host of complexion issues. Fortunately, there are laser treatments to combat these skin concerns. Sciton’s HALO™️ laser skin resurfacing can provide long-lasting solutions to your facial skin woes. HALO’s hybrid laser technology offers the unique benefits of dual laser wavelengths to get the most effective treatment and results with more comfort and faster recovery.

Dr. Jennifer Harrington is a board-certified plastic surgeon who offers only the highest quality cosmetic treatments at her practice in Plymouth, Minnesota. That is why she is proud to offer HALO™️ laser skin resurfacing to men and women in the Twin Cities and throughout Minnesota. Contact us today to see if HALO could be right for you.

Men and women of almost any age and skin type can be excellent candidates for Sciton’s HALO hybrid fractional laser treatment. Some of the most common skin concerns treated by HALO include:

HALO can be used on areas other than the face as well. These include the neck, chest, arms, hands, and legs.

Dr. Harrington or our certified physician assistant or nurses will use the innovative HALO handpiece to administer treatment. As the device is rolled over the targeted area, HALO uses motion-tracking technology to ensure even and effective treatment. Most people feel a warming sensation during treatment. However, topical anesthetic and HALO’s integrated cooling technology can minimize discomfort.

HALO’s use of dual wavelengths is what sets it apart from other laser treatments. While the ablative laser creates microscopic pathways in targeted areas, the nonablative laser creates tiny thermal injuries. These work together to increase your body’s natural healing processes, stimulate collagen and elastin production and rev up cell turnover.

The end result is smoother, brighter and more resilient skin. Sciton’s HALO is so versatile that it can be paired with both nonsurgical and surgical procedures under anesthesia to help maximize your desired results.

You can expect your skin to flake and peel around 3 to 4 days after your treatment. However, peeling should be complete within about 1 to 2 weeks, and you can use makeup to help mask it in the meantime. Most patients see the greatest improvements in skin tone and texture by weeks 2 or 3.

Although your individual results may vary, most people experience continued improvements to the texture and pigment correction of their skin over the following weeks and even months. Unlike traditional lasers, most people see the best results in as little as 1 to 2 HALO laser resurfacing treatments.

Results from your HALO laser skin resurfacing treatment should be long-lasting. To help extend the longevity of your results, it’s important to follow Dr. Harrington’s post-treatment instructions, avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen during and after the healing process. We also recommend using ALASTIN skincare products to help aid in the healing and restoration of the skin. Some people may wish to get the occasional touch-up treatment to maximize their results.
