What is Halo®?
The Halo® Hybrid Fractional Laser from Sciton restores the skin’s youthful glow and reduces sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles. Typically, laser systems are either ablative (which removes skin cells) or non-ablative (which does not remove skin cells). Each method has its unique benefits, but it’s common for patients to benefit from both types of treatment. Fortunately, with the Halo® Hybrid system, you only need to opt for a single treatment method. Sciton Halo® laser is acclaimed for its transformative results for wide variety of treatment options.
This is the first fractional laser system that applies both non-ablative and ablative wavelengths to the same treatment zone. This helps maximize results while reducing downtime. The Halo® system presents a standard for the future of laser resurfacing because it provides safe, effective treatment with a powerful, long-term hybrid solution.

What is Halo® Treatment Like?
Halo® laser treatments can be performed at our Bellevue office with a topical numbing cream. This ensures that you’re comfortable and relaxed. Once you’re ready, the Halo® laser will target the deep layers of the skin to boost collagen production and rejuvenate your skin’s natural restorative processes. The Halo® system uses a unique tracking system to ensure each area of your skin is treated evenly throughout treatment. Once complete, your technician will soothe your skin and prepare it for your brief recovery period. Afterward, you can return home.
Halo® Results and Recovery
Most patients only need one or two sessions to get optimal results. This is a vast improvement over older technology that sometimes requires as many as five or six treatments. After each treatment session, you’ll likely experience some redness, flakiness, and minor swelling in your treatment area, but this subsides within a few days. After any minor peeling is complete, you’ll notice smoother, more youthful skin within a week of treatment. Our skincare team will make sure you understand the right care steps to take during this time and when to return for any touch-up appointments to achieve your final goals.
