At Kurkjian Aesthetics, Dr. Jon Kurkjian and his experienced team help patients in the Fort Worth area and beyond address a wide range of aesthetic skin concerns. If you want to diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, large pores, or acne scars, the HALO® laser is a state-of-the-art treatment that can improve the tone and texture of your skin.
This technology can effectively address skin conditions virtually anywhere on the body with less downtime and fewer sessions compared to other laser options. In just one to two treatments, the advanced HALO® laser uses both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to dramatically revitalize skin for improved tone and texture with reduced signs of aging.
What Are the Benefits of the HALO® Laser?
One of the main advantages of HALO® laser treatment is the ability to treat common skin concerns for women and men on the face, neck, chest, arms, legs, hands, and other areas. This versatile application offers numerous benefits, including:
- Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
- Smoothed skin texture and tone
- Diminished signs of pigmented lesions, sun damage, and brown spots
- Reduction of pore size
- Improved appearance of scarring
Treatment with the HALO® laser can typically produce noticeable results in just one or two sessions with minimal downtime. During an initial consultation, one of our knowledgeable skin care professionals will examine your concerns and determine the most effective course of treatment for your cosmetic goals.
What Does the HALO® Laser Treatment Involve?
Before HALO® laser treatment begins, a topical anesthetic will be applied to the target area(s) to make the procedure as comfortable as possible. Each treatment is customized with varying levels of laser energy to effectively treat specific skin conditions unique to each individual. During the process, your provider will guide the handheld HALO® device gently over the skin, which may feel warm with slight prickling sensations. The device’s integrated cooling system, along with the pre-treatment numbing, generally help patients experience very little discomfort.
As the laser energy is applied, damaged cells on the outer skin layers are treated and deeper tissues are penetrated to stimulate cell turnover for new collagen growth and rejuvenated, healthier skin. In most cases, HALO® laser treatment takes about 15 to 30 minutes to complete, depending on the individual’s goals and treatment plan. Many patients can achieve results in one to two sessions, but every situation is unique. Additionally, your provider may recommend other non-surgical skin care treatments that may be performed at the same time, or at a later date, for the most optimal outcome.
What Can I Expect After My HALO® Laser Treatment?
Following HALO® laser treatment, patients can expect mild swelling, redness, and tight skin at the treatment area, similar to the feeling of a sunburn. These symptoms usually last about four to five days during the healing process until the affected skin flakes or falls off. Patients are typically advised to use a gentle daily cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen—while avoiding sun exposure—as the skin recovers. To ensure you receive the best possible results, you will need to follow the personalized aftercare instructions given by your provider.
You should begin to see improvement in your skin concerns as soon as two to five days after your HALO® laser treatment. The results should continue to improve over time as your skin heals.
How Long Do HALO® Laser Results Last?
The results of the HALO® laser are designed to last for years, especially when the recommended number of treatments are performed, and with proper skin care and protection. Periodic HALO® laser follow-up sessions and long-term aesthetic treatment plans can also help to prolong the rejuvenating results for healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
