How to Prepare for Halo™ Laser Treatment

If you are interested in achieving glowing, younger skin, West Michigan Plastic Surgery provides various treatment options designed to fit your skin type and tone. One of our treatments is the Halo™ laser combines the power of more intensive skincare treatments with minimal downtime.

What is Halo™ Laser Treatment?

Halo™ laser is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment that combines the power of ablative and non-ablative lasers into a single treatment. Ablative lasers resurface the top layer of skin to treat superficial concerns such as wrinkles, sun damage, and other signs of damage or aging. Non-ablative lasers are less invasive, heating the deeper layers of tissue for more minor skin issues and boosting collagen production.

Halo™ laser treatments target deep within the skin without damaging the top layer. Patients may receive the results of more intensive treatment with the downtime of a non-ablative laser. Most patients feel comfortable returning to their daily activities within a few days.

How Do I Prepare for Halo™ Laser Treatment?

There is no required preparation time for Halo™ laser treatments; however, there are several methods to minimize risks and maximize your results.

Two weeks before your appointment, we at West Michigan Plastic Surgery suggest avoiding sun exposure or any form of tanning. Please do not wax, tweeze, or use hair-removal creams within the treatment area. If you are prone to cold sores, Dr. Holley may prescribe anti-viral medication to minimize your risk.

One week prior to your Halo™ laser treatment, please stop using skincare products with active ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, and benzoyl peroxide. These active ingredients can hinder your results.

Immediately before your appointment, make sure your skin is clean and free of lotions or makeup. Clean skin is an essential part of your preparation as it lowers the risk and improves the results of your Halo™ laser treatment.
