Have you heard about the Halo laser and how it is different?
Introducing the latest in laser technology, the Halo! PVPS is currently the only location in North Florida offering this new treatment. Call us for more information and to set up your consultation today!
The Halo laser can be used alone or in combination with the BBL laser (broadband light laser). This system assists in reducing pore size, pigmentation, and redness, improves skin tightening, and results in a long-lasting youthful regeneration of the skin. Even better, this system is not just for the face. It can be used on the neck, chest, hands, and arms. Age spots are gone!
So what does the Halo do?
With the introduction of Halo technology, we can effectively treat dark spots (age spots), facial redness, fine lines, and skin laxity. This modality can also tighten the difficult-to-treat loose under-eye skin.
Wondering what to expect following the treatment?
This really is the best part about using Halo. The procedure is done with topical local numbing cream. There is minimal downtime. You can expect to have red, slightly swollen facial skin for three to four days. This is a great procedure to have done in the office on Thursday and go back to work on Monday. There is no peeling. The skin will feel like sandpaper for a few days, and there will be small dark flakes that you will notice on your skin for a few days afterward. These dark flakes are the underlying pigmentation that is being extruded.
How does Halo work?
The Halo is a hybrid laser that has partial ablative and non-ablative properties. This allows minimal downtime with maximal effects. The procedure requires three treatments 6 to 8 weeks apart and once per year thereafter. There is exciting literature that has demonstrated significant long-term youthful effects of this combined treatment. See below:
