Halo Fractionated Resurfacing Beverly Hills
Halo is a hybrid fractional laser treatment that is a breakthrough for multiple skin conditions, such as wrinkles, acne scars, age spots, uneven skin tone, and enlarged pores. The dual lasers work together to target both deep and superficial skin damage, resulting in tighter and visibly rejuvenated skin. The procedure takes about one hour to complete in office, and significant results can be expected from a single Halo treatment. There is about a 10 day down time, in which patients experience swelling and flaky skin, to be followed by smoother, tighter, radiant skin.

What is HALO Fractionated Resurfacing?
HALO Fractionated Resurfacing is the ultimate skin rejuvenation treatment, designed to eliminate minor imperfections while refining skin texture for a radiant and youthful glow. This revolutionary hybrid fractional laser is the first of its kind, seamlessly blending ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to resurface both the superficial and deeper layers of the skin. Unlike traditional laser treatments, HALO delivers approximately 25 to 30 percent skin resurfacing in just a single session, compared to only 5 percent from standard treatments. This makes it an advanced solution for deep dermal rejuvenation.
This luxurious laser treatment effectively targets skin concerns such as sun damage, acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin tone. It also enhances collagen production, promoting epidermal renewal for a smoother, more refined complexion. The HALO laser is safe and effective for all skin types, including darker skin tones, as it features motion-tracking technology that precisely scans and treats areas often overlooked by other resurfacing methods.
The healing process is swift, with visible signs of improvement appearing as soon as the skin begins to regenerate. Post-treatment, patients often experience microscopic epidermal necrotic debris, which sheds naturally, unveiling healthy skin with improved skin tone and texture. As the skin heals, continued collagen production enhances long-term rejuvenation, leaving behind a refreshed, youthful glow.
How Long Will Results Last?
Patients will experience a noticeable improvement In skin texture within three to five days of their initial HALO treatment, with more noticeable results appearing within two to three months. This skin rejuvenation method provokes elevated collagen production for six months after treatment. With proper skin care and UV protection, HALO results can last years.
HALO Fractionated Resurfacing Benefits
HALO Fractionated Resurfacing is the gold standard in skin rejuvenation, allowing patients to achieve and maintain a radiant and youthful glow with minimal effort. Unlike traditional laser treatments, the HALO hybrid fractional laser is designed to address a variety of skin concerns, from acne scars and sun damage to fine lines and wrinkles. This innovative laser treatment is suitable for all skin types, including darker skin tones, making it a luxurious yet effective solution for anyone seeking deep dermal rejuvenation.
What Results to Expect from HALO Treatments
Comfortable Painless Procedure
Our Patients undergoing HALO laser treatment can anticipate a comfortable experience, thanks to the application of a topical anesthetic and numbing cream. The sensation during the procedure is often compared to a rubber band snap, followed by a gentle warmth as the laser penetrates the superficial and deeper layers of the skin.
Recovery is Remarkably Swift
Recovery is remarkably swift, with most individuals noticing visible signs of improvement within just a few days. While pinpoint bleeding and microscopic epidermal necrotic debris may appear as the skin heals, these are temporary and a natural part of the epidermal renewal process. Patients can resume their daily routines quickly, with many returning to remote work the next day and in-person activities within five to seven days.
Drastic Improvement in Skin Texture
One of the most remarkable aspects of HALO laser results is the drastic improvement in skin texture. Patients will see a noticeable reduction in enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, brown spots, scars, and pigmented lesions. This skin brightening treatment also smooths out fine lines and wrinkles, restoring a flawless, youthful glow to the skin’s surface.
Fewer Treatments
Unlike traditional ablative laser treatments that require multiple sessions, the HALO hybrid fractional laser delivers unparalleled results in just one to two treatments. The advanced technology allows for precise resurfacing while stimulating new collagen production, making it one of the most effective treatments for scar revision, sun exposure damage, and overall skin revitalization.

How the Procedure Works
The HALO laser simultaneously emits two classes of laser light to fractionally resurface the skin. The treatment is virtually painless and typically takes 20 minutes to an hour to complete. Refer to the sections below for a more detailed rendition of the treatment process.
Before & Preparation
- Apply sunscreen (UVA and UVB protection) to the area to be treated each day in the weeks before your procedure.
- Discontinue using skin care products containing active ingredients the week before your procedure. These products include Retinol (Retin-A, Tretinoin, Vitamin A), Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, AHAs (Alpha-hydroxy acids), LHAs (Lipo hydroxy acids), and Benzoyl Peroxide.
- Avoid waxing and depilatory creams for two weeks before your treatment.
- Remove makeup, lotion, sunscreen, or other creams on the area to be treated before your appointment.
- Avoid medications such as Ibuprofen, Motrin, Aspirin, Fish Oils, Vitamin E, or other blood thinners the week before your procedure.
During the Procedure
- Your provider will cleanse the skin and apply a topical numbing agent to the treatment area to reduce discomfort.
- After the local anesthetic takes full effect, the treatment process begins.
- The motion-tracking technology of the HALO device scans the treatment area to locate superficial and deep imperfections.
- Your provider will apply the laser to your skin.
- Patients will experience little to no discomfort during the procedure.
- Inform your provider if you encounter any severe discomfort throughout the treatment process.
Aftercare & Recovery
- Your provider will supply aftercare instructions following the procedure to ensure optimal results.

- Immediately following treatment, you may experience a temporary burning sensation, similar to a sunburn. This effect should subside within a few hours.
- You may experience mild redness in the treatment area for a few days after treatment.
- MENDs (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) may appear 1-3 days after treatment, which just looks like tiny pinpoint scabs at the skin surface. Do not rub or scratch the affected area. These tiny dark tissue spots will naturally slough off as new skin forms.
- You should use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water to clean the affected area for the first week. We recommend the Alastin Recovery Kit from TheSkinSpot.com
- Avoid direct sun exposure and utilize proper sun protection three months after your procedure. We recommend using a mineral sunscreen with broadband protection and an SPF of at least 30. Here is a list of high quality sunscreens to choose from.

How Long Do Halo Laser Results Last?
Patients can observe visible skin improvement within 3 to 5 days of treatment. Results will continue to improve for six months as HALO promotes enhanced collagen production. With proper skin care and sun protection, results can last for years.
Is Halo Laser Worth It?

Which Is Better: Halo or Fraxel?
The Halo laser utilizes ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, while Fraxel emits solely ablative wavelengths. The Halo device is currently the preferable skin rejuvenating solution as it provides vast improvements to the superficial and deep layers of the skin.
