What Is the HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser?
HALO® is a hybrid fractional laser treatment that combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths. Ablative wavelengths remove the top layer of skin, resulting in a more significant change in the skin’s appearance. This is typically used for deep-set fine lines and wrinkles or other moderate to severe skin imperfections. The non-ablative wavelengths are less invasive and involve heating the skin just below the surface to remove damaged cells. This encourages a boost in collagen production and improved skin elasticity while stimulating the body’s natural healing properties to heal your skin from within. When the two methods are combined, it creates dramatic results that can be used on nearly all skin types.
What Are the Benefits of HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser?
The HALO® hybrid fractional laser offers an advanced method of skin resurfacing with results that last. By treating the skin with two different wavelengths simultaneously, you’ll see a noticeable difference quickly, so you can feel your most confident.
Smooth, blemish-free skin is only a session away with HALO® hybrid fractional laser. In as little as 15 minutes, you can begin to see the radiant and powerful difference this treatment can make.
What Areas Can Be Treated With HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser?
HALO® is a versatile treatment that can target a wide range of concerns, such as sun damage, wrinkles, scarring, uneven tone, and loss of elasticity, across multiple areas of the body. While the face is the most common treatment area—particularly the cheeks, forehead, jawline, and around the eyes—HALO® is also effective on the hands, thighs, and abdomen. These areas are especially prone to signs of aging, discoloration, and textural changes over time, making them ideal for rejuvenation with HALO®.

What To Expect Before, During, and After HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser
During your consultation, a practitioner will review your skin concerns and get an understanding of your goals for the treatment. They will explain the process, go over any risk factors, and create a personalized plan for the day of the procedure.
On the day of your treatment, your practitioner will start by prepping the skin with a numbing cream to reduce any discomfort. Once the cream has set in, they will start the procedure and move the HALO® device over the desired areas. The entire process takes around 15-30 minutes, depending on the treatment area(s).
Initial recovery after a HALO® hybrid fractional laser treatment begins within the first hour, with most patients experiencing 3 to 7 days of social downtime. On days 1-2, the skin may feel warm and tight, with redness similar to a sunburn. By days 3-4, a bronzed or sandpaper-like texture develops as the skin begins to flake. Shedding typically occurs through days 4-5, revealing smoother, more radiant skin underneath. Most patients feel comfortable returning to normal daily activities within 24-48 hours, though redness and peeling may still be present during the healing process. Full cosmetic recovery usually takes up to 1 week.
You’ll begin noticing visible improvements within the first week as your skin starts to renew. Around the 3-week mark, more significant changes in tone, texture, and radiance become apparent, with continued enhancement in the weeks that follow.
