Sciton® Halo® Laser
Sciton® Halo® Laser
The cosmetic industry is known for its trends that come and go, but one mainstay that stands out above the rest is the effectiveness of laser treatments. But with a vast variety of lasers on the market, it’s worth paying attention to the gold standard. Partington Plastic Surgery & Laser Center offers knowledgeable and skilled expertise for laser treatments, including the Sciton® Halo® laser for its transformative results and a wide variety of treatment options.
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 (removes skin cells) or non-ablative (does not remove skin cells). Each method has its unique benefits, but it’s common for patients to benefit from both types of treatment. Halo® is the first fractional laser system that combines both non-ablative and ablative wavelengths in a single treatment zone. This helps maximize results while reducing downtime. The Halo® system sets a gold standard for laser resurfacing, providing safe and 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 utilizes a unique tracking system to ensure that each area of your skin is treated evenly throughout the treatment. Once complete, the medical Master Aesthetician will soothe your skin and prepare it for your brief recovery period. Afterward, you can return home.
Halo® Results and Recovery
Most patients require only one or two sessions to achieve optimal results. This represents a significant improvement over older technology, which sometimes requires as many as five or six treatments. After each treatment session, you may experience some redness, flakiness, and minor swelling in the treatment area, but these symptoms typically subside 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 ensure you understand the correct care steps to take during this time and when to return for any touch-up appointments to achieve your final goals.

FAQ of Halo®laser
How to prepare for Halo® laser?
Before your Halo® laser treatment at Partington Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks, and stop using any products containing retinoids (“Retinol”) or exfoliants a few days prior. It’s essential to consult with our experts to ensure your skin is ready for the procedure.
How long does Halo® laser last?
The effects of Halo® laser can last for several months to years, depending on your skin type and how well you maintain your skincare routine.
Is Halo® laser ablative?
Yes, Halo® laser is an ablative and non-ablative treatment, meaning it removes the top layer of skin while also targeting deeper layers for enhanced skin rejuvenation, making it effective for treating various skin issues.
How painful is Halo® laser?
The Halo® laser treatment at Partington Plastic Surgery & Laser Center is generally tolerable with the help of numbing cream. Some patients may experience mild discomfort, which is usually managed with topical anesthesia.
What wavelength is Halo® Laser?
The Halo® laser combines two wavelengths – 2940nm (ablative) and 1470nm (non-ablative) – to effectively target both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, providing a comprehensive rejuvenation treatment.
How many Halo® laser treatments do you need?
Typically, Partington Plastic Surgery & Laser Center recommends starting with one Halo® laser session.
Two Halo® laser treatments may be suggested for optimal results, but this can vary depending on individual skin concerns. Our specialists will assess your skin to determine the best treatment plan.
Does Halo® laser tighten skin?
Yes, Halo® laser stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, which helps to tighten and firm the skin over time. This is particularly effective for reducing fine lines and improving skin texture.
When can I exfoliate after Halo® laser?
After Halo® laser treatment at Partington Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, wait at least one week before exfoliating your skin. Allow the outer layer to heal properly to avoid irritation or complications.
How long does swelling last after Halo® laser?
Swelling after Halo® laser typically lasts 3 to 5 days, although it can vary depending on individual factors and the intensity of the treatment. Our team will guide you through post-care to minimize swelling and ensure optimal healing.
Is there social and physical downtime after a Halo® treatment?
Yes, it is recommended not to have any significant work or social events planned for about 5 days, as the face may be red and experience some swelling. Little “dots” will appear on the face that will naturally slough off as you heal, revealing fresh, radiant new skin. During your consult, this will be discussed in more detail.
When can you expect to see results from the Halo® laser?
You can start seeing improvements in skin texture and tone within a few days after the Halo® laser treatment at Partington Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, with the most significant results becoming visible after 2-3 weeks.
