Truly personalized treatment with Halo

Each treatment is designed by our Dermatologists and bespoke to the individual patient. Halo enables the energy, depth and density of each laser to be fine-tuned to ensure that results are optimum for any individual case. Being only among a few Practitioners to have a large amount of experience in Halo laser, our Dermatologists can you provide you with a highly individualised treatment plan.

Is Halo laser treatment safe?

Halo constantly measures the temperature of the skin so it is always in a safe zone. This is known as Dynamic Thermal Optimisation (DTO) which automatically ensures the treatment is evenly given. Halo also has one of the most ingenious methods of mapping the face’s surface area. This, with the built-in speed sensor, ensures the correct amount of energy is evenly delivered. These features, coupled with truly personalized plan to determine the depth, energy and concentration of each laser, means that severe side effects are very uncommon.

What are the risks and side effects of Halo laser treatment?

The skin will become red and swollen and may feel tight. After a few days there will be bronzing and flaking.

Side effects of Halo can include

  • Infection. You may be asked to take antibiotics before the procedure for heavy treatments.
  • Recurrence of a cold sore. You are usually asked to take cold sore prevention medications starting on the day of your procedure.
  • Acne breakouts. It is preferred to treat the skin once acne has been brought under control. You may require acne medication for a number of weeks after treatment to prevent flares
  • Redness that lasts for a few weeks, though with heavier treatments, redness is known to last up to 3 to 6 months
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation – this will usually resolve in 3 months and may require additional prescription creams. It is common for superficial pigmentation to darken and peel off.
  • Flare of melasma
  • Lack of desired effect. As with any medical treatment, individuals will respond differently and a guarantee of any particular outcome is not provided.

How effective is Sciton Halo laser treatment?

This treatment gives excellent, long-lasting results.

Patients report a visible reduction in the signs of ageing, from lines and wrinkles to open pores and an uneven complexion.

Collagen is stimulated in the skin’s tissues for six months, meaning the skin tightening effects develop over time.

In a 2018 study, of 29 women receiving 2 Halo treatments 6 weeks apart (Waibel et al 2019), independent photographic assessment showed a significant skin improvement in 80% of cases. A survey showed 100% of the study participants were satisfied with the treatment. 2 out of 29 cases developed post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that settled within 90 days.

A 2022 study (Fusano et al 2022) also showed an extremely high level of patients are satisfied after Halo laser treatment.
