The time has finally come to
introduce you to the newest member of the Well Medical Arts lineup of
treatments: Halo®. The angel-skin-making device is aptly named Halo, a breakthrough laser treatment
that combines two types of lasers to create major results with minimal
downtime.
How does Halo® work?
Brought to you by Sciton, Halo flies
above the rest because it’s the first fractionated laser that uses both
ablative and nonablative technology.
It
targets teeny pathways in the skin, leaving the area around it unscathed.
Meanwhile, the nonablative laser drills little thermal injuries into the skin,
which trigger collagen and elastin production—the stuff that minimizes
burgeoning wrinkles.
“The
Halo is better than either one alone,” says Dominique Well, ARNP. “And it’s easier
for the patient in terms of recovery.” You see, older technologies such as the
classic C02 laser treatments require five or more days of serious healing time whereas
just a few days of healing time are needed for Halo, if that.
But
what about results?
By
targeting the epidermis and dermis, the Halo, a hybrid laser minimizes the
appearance of pore size, help correct sun damage, cut down on brown spots, and
even skin texture and tone. Halo can be done on most skin tones, though
treating darker skin requires meticulous skin preparation.
What else can this angel treat?
This advanced laser solution is indicated for the treatment of:
Pigmentation.
Halo comfortably treats a wide
range of pigmented lesions including freckles, age spots, Nevus of Ota,
Café-Au-Lait and more. Targeted pulses of energy break up the pigment into
smaller particles that are more easily eliminated by the body’s natural
processes. Over a few days, the targeted lesions will darken and slough away.
Fine lines and wrinkles.
A celeb-fave, Halo has quickly
become a go-to treatment for correcting fine lines and wrinkles, and improving
skin’s texture and tone. The precise heat of the laser stimulates collagen
production without damaging surrounding tissues. With virtually little to no
downtime, it’s also more comfortable than more ablative lasers.
Acne scars.
Halo works to reduce acne scars
by breaking down scar tissue, and simultaneously stimulating new, healthy
tissue to form in its place. Because it has multifaceted approach, the
treatment is adjustable for different skin types and different types of acne
scars (both shallow and deep).
Halo, $1500 for one, full face treatment, or $2500 for two and $3500 for three. Halo treatment series comes complete with a gift with purchase. Approximately $500 of SkinCeuticals skincare is included with a full treatment series.
