HALO Laser Treatment at myEvergreen MedSpa
During a HALO laser treatment, your procedure will begin with your practitioner cleaning the area to be treated to remove any makeup, oil, or debris. Then a topical anesthetic will be applied to the treatment area to help minimize discomfort during the procedure. Once the skin is sufficiently numb, the HALO laser handpiece will be passed over the treatment area, delivering both ablative and non-ablative laser energy to the skin. The energy from the laser creates microscopic channels in the skin to promote the growth of new, healthy tissue and to remove damaged skin. During the treatment, a cooling system is used to help cool the skin and minimize any discomfort. After the procedure, your practitioner will apply a calming ointment or a hydrating mask to soothe the skin. You will then receive instructions on how to care for your skin during the healing process. The duration of the procedure depends on the size of the treatment area and the severity of the skin concern being addressed.
HALO Laser Recovery
The recovery period after a HALO laser treatment can vary depending on your skin type, the size and number of areas treated, and the severity of the skin condition being addressed. While the recovery period can vary, most patients are able to return to work and their daily activities within a few days of the procedure. In general, patients will experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort for the first few days after treatment. This is a normal part of the healing process and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and ice packs. Peeling and flaking are also normal in the week following the treatment. During this time, the skin may start to peel and flake as the damaged tissue is removed and new skin cells start to regenerate. It’s important to avoid picking or scratching the skin as this can cause scarring and delay the healing process. We advise that you avoid sun exposure during the healing process, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV radiation. It’s also recommended to wear protective clothing and sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
Patients should follow the skincare instructions provided by their practitioner to help promote healing and prevent infection. This may include applying a healing ointment or a hydrating mask to the skin. It’s important to note that the recovery process can be different for each patient. We’ll keep in touch with you during your individual recovery process to ensure optimal healing and results.
