About 5 years ago, a completely new skin-resurfacing technology called the HALO hybrid fractional laser was introduced to the aesthetic market. This new hybrid technology combines 2 laser wavelengths—ablative and non-ablative—to simultaneously target both surface and deeper layers of skin. This enables HALO to address multiple skin concerns, including wrinkles, sun damage, scarring, enlarged pores, discoloration, and dyschromia, in a single treatment. Since its introduction, the HALO laser has quickly become one of the most popular skin-resurfacing treatments among doctors and their patients.
The HALO hybrid laser’s success has been attributed to patient satisfaction and a groundswell of positive online buzz. The review site RealPatientRatings.com reported a 91.8% patient satisfaction rate. On the review site RealSelf.com, 88% of patients endorsed the HALO treatment. The HALO laser also won NewBeauty Magazine’s Beauty Choice Awards 3 times in a row. Some of the benefits of the HALO laser that patients frequently cited include:
- Smoother, younger-looking skin
- Glowing complexion
- Less downtime
- Less painful treatment
- Fewer treatments needed
- Compliments from friends
In this article, we’ll look at what beauty influencers on social media have said about their HALO treatments through excerpts from their articles and blogs.
Erika Stalder, writer for StyleCaster & Refinery29, gave this objective review:
“Unlike more mellow laser treatments, a whole cluster of five treatments isn’t needed. Two HALO treatments done in the first year is more than enough to brighten skin and maximize preventative aging. Bottom line? I’m deeply considering investing in another treatment.”
In her review for 30Seconds.com, journalist Belinda Clarke offered this first-hand experience:
“Among the obvious resurfacing benefit, this particular procedure is designed to also address wrinkles, fine lines, sun spots, acne scars, enlarged pores, and the various other signs of aging (saggy skin). Of these, the biggest benefit for me definitely was the improved elasticity, followed by a much smoother texture. So, if you want to take years off your face and you’ve got some mad money in your pocket (one treatment costs about $1,000 or more), the HALO laser is truly the gift that keeps on giving.”
Instagram Influencer Zhenya Hutson gave this enthusiastic review:
“Thank you again for this life-changing experience! This is the best my skin has been in years!”
More and more doctors are turning to HALO
The doctors who are using it have glowing praise for the HALO hybrid fractional laser from Sciton. By delivering both fractional ablative and non-ablative laser wavelengths in the same pass, HALO treats the damage you can and cannot see at the same time. Patients receive both ablative and non-ablative results with non-ablative recovery times. What’s more, the dual wavelengths can be delivered in many different permutations of depths and coverage to customize the optimal treatment for each patient. In testimonials, reviews, and social media posts, doctors and patients express the highest levels of satisfaction with their HALO treatment and results.
