Traditionally, lasers come in 2 options: ablative and non-ablative. HALO offers both options in a single pass, addressing both mild concerns in the epidermis (the top layer) and more severe skin issues in the dermis (the deeper layer) during the same treatment. This gives you more dramatic, comprehensive results and reduces your total downtime.
When you come in for a HALO treatment, our laser specialists fully customize your experience to address your unique skin concerns specifically. The HALO system determines the exact level of energy needed to safely and effectively treat your skin through intelligent energy delivery and Dynamic Thermal Optimization. The result? A safe and precise treatment that evenly covers your targeted area.
The face is always the most common area of concern, but HALO also works beautifully on the neck, décolletage, and hands.
HALO is a great option for treating many different concerns related to sun damage, aging, or scarring.
| Sun Damage | Signs of Aging | Scarring |
| Sunspots Rough texture Hyperpigmentation | Wrinkles and creases Age spots Uneven skin tone | Acne scars Chickenpox marks Scars from blemishes or injuries |
It’s also the preferred treatment for removing textural pigmentation on the sides of the neck called “poikiloderma,” which is a common condition in our former sun worshippers here in Southern California.
Before treatment, our laser specialists will evaluate your skin to determine if HALO is the best option to meet your needs. If we move forward with treatment, here’s what you can expect:
If you’re looking for a little extra coverage before you leave our office, we can also apply our medically approved Oxygenetic makeup.

PRO-NOX is a self-administered nitrous oxide (laughing gas) system that allows you to be in full control of your comfort. If at any point you feel you need something to take the edge off, simply breathe through the PRO-NOX mouthpiece for instant relief from pain and anxiety.
Unlike oral pain medication, PRO-NOX takes effect in seconds but wears off minutes after your treatment, leaving no trace of the chemical in your body. You can safely drive and return to your normal routine without worrying about side effects.
Ask us about adding PRO-NOX to your treatment at your consultation!
After your treatment, you’ll need to take special care of your skin. The first few days after treatment, your skin will feel warm and tight and have a slightly rough texture to the touch. Within a week, the roughened skin will flake lightly, revealing fresh new skin underneath. It’s important to avoid sun exposure and keep skin in the treatment area well-moisturized until you have fully healed.
You may see results as soon as 7 days after your initial treatment. Most people see the greatest results in the first 2 to 3 weeks, but your skin will continue to improve for up to 2 months.
At our La Jolla and Carlsbad med spas, the cost of a HALO treatment will vary based on the area you’re having treated and how many treatments you need to see optimal results.
Joining the GLAMfam is a great way to save money on HALO treatments. You’ll also save up to 15% every day on our full range of cosmetic treatments at LJC.

Have more questions about HALO? We have answers!
A: Ablative lasers work by removing outer layers of dull, damaged skin to reveal healthier skin underneath. This prompts your body’s natural healing response, triggering increased collagen production in the area. Ablative lasers are often used to successfully treat fine lines, acne scarring, and sun damage. Results are dramatic, but they often come with a longer recovery period and a few unwelcome side effects, such as swelling, redness, or changes in pigmentation.
Non-ablative lasers typically provide less dramatic and slower results, but they’re much less invasive. Non-ablative lasers heat up the tissue, but don’t destroy it. This stimulates collagen production to address minor skin concerns without removing the upper layer of skin. These lasers are a popular option for treating minor imperfections, light scarring, and fine lines, though multiple treatments are typically required.
HALO provides such impressive results because it combines the power of both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths.
A: Hybrid fractional means that 2 different laser wavelengths (traditionally used separately) have been woven together to provide a synergistic result. With this combined approach, HALO offers beautiful results without the downtime of more aggressive treatments and without the necessity of multiple series of treatments.
A: The manufacturers of HALO laser chose the name HALO because of the distinct youthful glow people experienced after the treatment. Young, beautiful skin naturally reflects light, and the HALO laser restores some of that youthful shine.
A: As with any laser treatment, the most important thing to do in preparation is to avoid direct sun exposure. In some cases, prescription skin lighteners may be recommended by your clinician to prep your skin for 2 to 8 weeks before your treatment.
