Popular Procedures to Pair With HALO Laser Treatment

  • BBL (BroadBand Light): Pairing HALO with BBL is one of our most popular combinations. BBL targets redness and brown spots at the surface level, while HALO works deeper to stimulate collagen and resurface the skin. Together, they provide comprehensive rejuvenation that addresses tone, texture, and pigmentation simultaneously for more dramatic results.
  • Microneedling: For patients seeking additional collagen stimulation, microneedling complements HALO by working at the surface level to improve texture and tone. Adding PRP or PRF to microneedling further accelerates healing and can be performed between HALO sessions to maintain your results.
  • Bioregenerative Treatments (PRF / EZGel) Applying PRF or PRP following a HALO treatment can reduce downtime and supercharge the healing response. These bioregenerative treatments use your body’s own growth factors to amplify collagen production and accelerate skin renewal post-laser.

Frequently Asked Questions About HALO

HALO works best on fair to light-medium skin (Fitzpatrick types I–III). Darker skin tones (types IV–VI) can be treated but carry a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) due to increased melanin. Our team will review your skin type, goals, and eligibility during your consultation to make the best treatment recommendations for your unique skin.
HALO is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, meaning it delivers both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths simultaneously in a single treatment. Ablative lasers remove damaged outer layers of skin but typically require 1-2 weeks of downtime, while non-ablative treatments are less invasive but usually require several sessions to see results. HALO combines both approaches, removing damaged surface cells while penetrating deeper layers to stimulate collagen renewal, delivering significant results without the extensive recovery associated with fully ablative lasers.
It depends on the intensity of your treatment, but most patients experience 2–4 days of social downtime, with skin appearing red, swollen, and bronzed. Active peeling typically occurs between days 3–7, and most visible side effects resolve within a week. A lighter treatment can have you ready for makeup the next day, while a deeper treatment may require a few extra days of downtime.
It varies based on your skin concerns and goals. Patients can expect remarkable results in just 1–2 treatments, while older non-hybrid technology often requires 5–6 treatments to achieve similar results. For more established concerns, 3–5 sessions may be recommended, typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Our team will personalize a plan for your HALO laser treatment in Columbus based on your skin, budget, and how much downtime you’re comfortable with.
Following your HALO treatment, your skin undergoes a remarkable transformation. The microscopic epidermal necrotic debris will gradually slough off, revealing the new, rejuvenated skin beneath. This healing process is a crucial part of achieving optimal results. While you’ll notice immediate improvements, the full benefits of your HALO treatment continue to develop over time, with many patients reporting a beautiful “HALO glow” in the weeks following their session.
Your comfort and safety take precedence during every stage of your HALO experience. With topical anesthetic and our state-of-the-art cooling technologies, we mitigate discomfort as we refine your skin’s surface. During the treatment, you may feel warm in the treated area, but this sensation is generally well-tolerated.
