Halo
Are you tired of using multiple products and treatments to address different skin concerns? At Simply Radiant in Las Vegas, we offer the Sciton HALO hybrid fractional laser, a powerful technology that tackles multiple skin problems in a single treatment with less downtime than other lasers.
Owned and operated by Peggy Pruchnicki, APRN, Simply Radiant brings you the most advanced laser treatments available in the Las Vegas area. Our experienced team of providers, including skilled nurse practitioners and aestheticians, is dedicated to helping you achieve your skin goals with personalized care.
What Is the HALO Laser?
HALO is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser. Most lasers target either the skin’s surface or deeper layers, but HALO HALO delivers both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to the same microscopic treatment zone.
This dual-action approach means:
- Surface-level concerns are addressed by the ablative wavelength
- Deeper collagen production is stimulated by the non-ablative wavelength
- Both wavelengths work simultaneously for comprehensive skin renewal
HALO can provide dramatic improvements while maintaining patient comfort and requiring less downtime than other lasers. The system’s intelligent technology, called Dynamic Thermal Optimization, constantly monitors your skin’s temperature during treatment. This automatic adjustment ensures optimal results while maintaining your comfort and safety.
What Skin Concerns Can HALO Treat?
HALO’s dual-wavelength technology addresses multiple skin concerns in a single treatment session. The system targets:
- Sun damage and discoloration: Fade unwanted pigmentation for a more even complexion
- Fine lines and wrinkles: Smooth out early signs of aging for younger-looking skin
- Enlarged pores: Refine and minimize the appearance of pores
- Rough texture: Create smoother, softer skin you’ll love to touch
- Acne scarring: Reduce the visibility of old acne scars
- Poor skin luminosity: Restore your natural glow and radiance
Whether you’re concerned about specific issues or simply want to refresh your overall appearance, our team at Simply Radiant will customize your HALO treatment to address your unique needs.
Why Choose HALO Over Other Laser Treatments?
Advanced Hybrid Technology
HALO combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in a single pass. The ablative wavelength creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin surface, while the non-ablative wavelength penetrates deeper to stimulate collagen production. This means better results with fewer treatment sessions.
Customized Results for Your Specific Needs
At Simply Radiant, we understand that your skin is unique. HALO’s technology allows us to precisely calibrate your treatment based on your specific concerns and desired outcome. Whether you want dramatic transformation or subtle enhancement, we can adjust the settings to deliver exactly what you’re looking for.
Precise Energy Delivery
HALO’s tracking technology ensures even energy distribution across the treatment area. The system measures the exact amount of energy delivered to each portion of your skin, preventing overlap or missed spots that could lead to inconsistent results.
Less Downtime, More Living
Traditional ablative lasers often require weeks of recovery time, forcing you to put your life on hold. With HALO’s hybrid technology, you’ll typically need only a few days of social downtime. Many of our patients return to work the next day. Just apply a light layer of makeup and you’re good to go!
Results That Keep Getting Better
HALO does more than improve your skin’s immediate appearance. It also stimulates deep dermal regeneration that continues to enhance your results for months after treatment. Many of our patients find that their skin looks better year after year with proper maintenance.
Your HALO Treatment Journey at Simply Radiant
Before Your Treatment
Your HALO experience begins with a comprehensive consultation at our Las Vegas office. During this visit, one of our experienced providers will evaluate your skin. We’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns, and then we’ll create a personalized treatment plan. We may recommend specific skincare products to prepare your skin and enhance your results.
During Your HALO Session
When you arrive for your HALO treatment, we’ll start by thoroughly cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream for your comfort. The actual treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
During the procedure, you’ll feel a warming sensation as the HALO handpiece glides across your skin. The integrated cooling technology keeps you comfortable throughout the process. Many patients describe the sensation as mild heat with occasional prickling.
After Your Treatment
Immediately following your HALO session, your skin will feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. This sensation typically subsides within a few hours. You may experience some redness and swelling, which is completely normal and indicates that the healing process has begun.
Most patients can return to their regular activities the next day, though your skin will continue its renewal process for several days. You’ll notice tiny dark spots and a bronze appearance around day two or three, followed by light peeling as fresh, renewed skin is revealed.
Is There Downtime After a HALO Treatment?
Here’s what to expect after your HALO laser treatment:
Days 1-2
Your skin will feel warm and appear red, similar to a sunburn. You may experience mild swelling, particularly around the eyes if your face was treated. Applying cold compresses can help reduce swelling and increase comfort.
Days 3-4
You’ll notice tiny dark spots giving your skin a bronzed appearance. This is a positive sign that damaged skin cells are rising to the surface. Some patients experience mild itching during this phase, which can be managed with approved moisturizers.
Days 5-7
Light peeling begins. It’s important not to force or pick at peeling skin, as this could lead to scarring or uneven results. Let the process happen naturally and enjoy watching your new skin appear.
Am I a Candidate for HALO?
HALO can benefit most people looking to improve their skin’s appearance and health. You might be an ideal candidate for HALO if you:
- Want to address multiple skin concerns in a single treatment
- Need significant improvement but can’t afford extensive downtime
- Have sun damage, fine lines, scars, or uneven skin tone you’d like to improve
- Are looking for both immediate and long-term skin rejuvenation
During your consultation at Simply Radiant, we’ll determine if HALO is the best option for your skin or if another treatment would better serve your needs.
How Many HALO Treatments Will I Need?
HALO can achieve beautiful results in just one or two treatments. The specific number you’ll need depends on:
- Your current skin condition
- Your specific concerns and goals
- How aggressive a treatment you’re comfortable with
Some patients opt for a series of lighter treatments, while others prefer a single, more intensive session. Our team will help you determine the best approach for your unique situation.
