What is HALO® Laser Treatment?
HALO® by Sciton® is a hybrid fractional HALO® laser treatment that uses ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to target skin damage and visible signs of aging on multiple levels. The HALO skin treatment triggers natural healing abilities in your body to reduce sunspots, fine lines, wrinkles, and more.
HALO facial treatments are comfortable, deliver results quickly, and require less downtime than traditional laser treatments. Each procedure is customizable to address your skincare needs, fit your busy schedule, and restore your HALO Glow. HALO face treatment can effectively improve signs of aging, sun damage, scarring, enlarged pores, melasma, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Appointments typically last 60 to 90 minutes and are performed by our team of Medical Aestheticians and Registered Nurses.

During + After Your Halo Treatment
Treatment Time
Plan for 60 to 90 minutes, but for small areas, the treatment time usually takes:
- Face: 30 – 45 mins.
- Chest/Neck: 20 mins.
- Hands: 15 mins.
- Body Zones: 30 - 90 mins.
Your visit includes a brief consult, photos if needed, prep and topical numbing, the laser treatment, and immediate aftercare, so you leave with clear instructions.
Downtime
- 7-10 days of downtime.
- Warmth may continue for 12-24 hours after treatment.
- Potential swelling, redness, or dry, flaky skin may occur after treatment.
Results
The skin looks clearer and more even as flaking subsides from days five to seven. Brightness and smoothness continue to improve over the next two to six weeks as collagen activity increases. Results typically last approximately 1-2 years. We recommend a yearly treatment to maintain your glowing, youthful results.
Am I a Candidate?
Halo Laser is a good choice if you want a noticeable refresh in tone and texture, improvement in the look of sun damage, or a more comprehensive result than a light polish.
Who Should Wait or Check In First?
- Recent sunburn or active tan
- Open acne lesions or a skin infection
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- History of cold sores in the treatment area
- Use of photosensitizing medications or recent isotretinoin.
Your clinician will review your history and timing, and may recommend antiviral support when appropriate.
