Many patients want a treatment that significantly improves their skin’s health and appearance while enhancing their natural beauty. At Dr. Chow’s Rejuvenation Practice, we use the cutting-edge HALO™ laser by Sciton® to treat a variety of skin concerns, including signs of aging, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin, and even unwanted veins on the face and body.
What Is Halo™ Laser Skin Resurfacing?
HALO™ is the first and only hybrid fractional laser that combines both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths. This process stimulates the natural production of collagen, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin over time.
How It Works
- Non-ablative laser: Heats collagen deep in the skin to tighten it and improve texture
- Ablative laser: Removes the top layer of skin to exfoliate dead skin cells
This dual-action technique maximizes the benefits of the treatment while keeping downtime (and treatment time) short!
What Can HALO™ Treat?
Our Sciton laser system allows us to offer laser skin rejuvenation and skin tightening for men and women of all ages as well as adolescents, addressing:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Signs of aging
- Sun damage and melasma
- Acne scars
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Enlarged pores
- Age spots and liver spots
- Enlarged oil glands on the nose
- Appearance of veins on the face and body
Treatments can be personalized to meet your skin’s unique needs, whether you’re looking for preventative measures or targeting specific aging issues.

Am I a Good Candidate For HALO™?
The HALO™ laser is perfect for those seeking dramatic improvements with minimal disruption to their daily routines. It’s especially ideal for:
- People with mild to moderate wrinkles
- People with superficial scars from acne or chickenpox
- People with uneven pigmentation
- People without active acne
To achieve optimal results, it’s recommended for non-smokers with realistic expectations about the outcomes.
Treatment Process: What to Expect
Consultation
The process begins with a comprehensive consultation where a qualified specialist assesses your skin type, concerns, and medical history to determine if laser resurfacing is appropriate for you.
Preparation
Before the procedure, you may be advised to avoid certain medications or skincare products that can affect healing. Sun exposure should also be minimized to reduce the risk of complications.
Procedure
Before the procedure, your skin is cleansed and a topical anesthetic may be applied to enhance comfort. The HALO™ laser is then used to deliver targeted energy to the affected areas, removing damaged skin layers and stimulating collagen production. You may experience a warming sensation as the laser is applied to the skin.
The treatment typically lasts 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the size and number of areas being addressed.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery varies depending on the intensity of the treatment. Most clients will need 3-7 days to heal. Post-treatment, the skin may appear red and feel similar to a mild sunburn, which subsides over a few days.
- Keep the Skin Clean: Gently cleanse the treated area to prevent infection.
- Moisturize Regularly: Use recommended products to keep the skin hydrated.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the skin with broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily.
- Avoid Harsh Products: Stay away from scrubs, exfoliants, or active ingredients like retinoids or acids until your skin has fully healed.
- Follow Medical Advice: Adhere to all post-procedure instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
When Will I See Results?
Initial improvements can be seen once the skin heals, typically within one to two weeks. However, collagen remodeling continues for several months, leading to progressive enhancements in skin texture and appearance over time. HALO® can be combined with other treatments, like BBL, to speed up the process of removing unwanted pigment and achieve even more dramatic results.
