Halo Laser Skin Resurfacing in Virginia Beach, VA

Halo is the world’s first hybrid laser, which means it revitalizes skin with two types of laser energy for dramatic overall rejuvenating benefits. What’s more, Halo is a fractionated laser, which means it treats a perfectly balanced fraction of skin to speed healing without sacrificing any of the benefits of resurfacing. During treatment, Halo creates thousands of tiny treatment channels in the skin, prompting new collagen and elastin growth for a wide range of complexion benefits, including brighter, smoother skin with more even tone, smaller pore size, diminished lines and wrinkles, improved scarring, and much more.

Halo fractional laser at Chesapeake Vein Center and MedSpa in Chesapeake, VA, is truly a revolutionary and pioneering innovation because it’s the world’s first hybrid fractional skin resurfacing laser. This means that Halo combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in one device to treat multiple levels of the skin simultaneously for a wide range of complexion improvements with less downtime than comparable skin resurfacing technologies (i.e., CO2 full-field ablative lasers).

Downtime depends on the intensity of your treatment. Milder Halo treatments typically result in a few days of redness and flaking. In contrast, more intense Halo treatments can involve up to a week of social downtime as your skin renews itself.

Halo is a well-tolerated treatment! To ensure your comfort, we will first numb your treatment areas with a topical numbing cream. Furthermore, Halo laser has Dynamic Thermal Optimization (DTO), which monitors the temperature of the treated skin to modify the laser treatment according to each patient for optimal results. Halo also features integrated skin cooling during treatment to help maintain comfort. Immediately following your treatment (for about one hour), your face may feel intensely sunburned, depending on the intensity of your Halo treatment. We recommend keeping your face by a fan for that one hour following your treatment until any discomfort subsides.

Typically, one treatment is all you need to enjoy impressive, lasting complexion benefits. We recommend undergoing maintenance Halo treatments every few years or even once a year, depending on your needs, to maintain your results for the long term.

Your treatment cost will depend on the size and number of areas you are treating. We will work with you to formulate the ideal plan that meets your unique complexion needs and goals.

Immediately following your treatment, your skin will be bright red and will look and feel sunburned. This intense sunburned sensation will last about one hour and then dissipate. In the next few days, redness will fade to brown as your injured skin renews itself and forms a patina-like crust. This “crust” will gradually slough off by the end of the week to reveal vibrant, intensely revitalized new skin.

You can expect to see improvements in the first month as your skin renews itself and produces vibrant new collagen and elastin. Improvements can include smoother, brighter skin with a reduction of fine lines, age spots, pore size, and scarring.

Halo laser skin resurfacing suits most skin types. Its advanced technology allows practitioners to customize the treatment for each individual. This ensures both safety and effectiveness.

For darker skin tones, your provider may need to adjust specific settings to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation. An experienced practitioner, like those at Chesapeake Vein Center and MedSpa, can assess your skin and make the proper changes.

For at least 1-2 weeks before Halo laser skin resurfacing, avoid the following to reduce skin sensitivity:

• Sun exposure and tanning
• Retinoids, exfoliants, or harsh skincare products
• Treatments that could irritate the skin, such as chemical peels or waxing.

For a few days after treatment, avoid these potential irritants:

• Direct sun exposure
• Heat (like saunas or hot showers)
• Intense exercise

It’s also essential to use a gentle skincare routine. This includes a broad-spectrum sunscreen and moisturizer.

Yes, Halo laser skin resurfacing can treat areas other than the face. It improves skin tone, texture, and appearance on:

• The neck
• The chest
• The hands
• The arms
• The legs

These areas often show signs of aging, sun damage, or discoloration. Halo’s customizable settings make it ideal for addressing these concerns.

Wait to wear makeup until at least 48 hours after your Halo laser treatment. The initial redness and peeling should have subsided, and your skin should have begun to heal.

To avoid irritation, use gentle, non-comedogenic makeup. Apply it with clean brushes or sponges, too.

Your provider will give personalized guidelines based on your treatment intensity and recovery. These instructions ensure proper healing and optimal results.
