HALO® Laser Resurfacing
What is HALO® Laser Resurfacing?
HALO® Laser Resurfacing is the gold-standard treatment for radiant, healthy skin. This revolutionary hybrid fractional laser addresses uneven texture, pigmentation, fine lines, and sun damage while promoting long-term collagen and elastin production. At Saxon MD, HALO treatments are fully customized to your skin type, concerns, goals, and Siemens SAFE process making it one of the most effective ways to restore youthful, glowing skin.
HALO® is a hybrid fractional laser that treats the skin at two depths in a single session:
- 1470 nm non-ablative wavelength penetrates the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin
- 2940 nm ablative wavelength resurfaces the skin by creating precise microscopic channels in the epidermis
This dual approach delivers immediate resurfacing benefits and long-term skin remodeling.
Treatments can be customized from subtle resurfacing to peel-like effects. Many patients choose HALO annually for a complete skin reset.
HALO laser resurfacing improves:
- Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Dull or uneven skin tone
- Acne scarring (results continue improving over ~3 months)
- Low to moderate skin laxity
- Melasma
The Science Behind HALO
HALO creates fractional thermal zones that trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating:
- Collagen and elastin production
- Epidermal renewal
- Smoother, brighter skin
By treating only a fraction of the skin at a time, HALO maximizes results while minimizing downtime. It’s safe, effective, and backed by science.
Your HALO Journey at Saxon MD
Your comfort and results are our top priorities during a HALO treatment. Topical numbing is applied before we begin, and the laser is delivered in controlled, precise passes. Most patients feel gentle heat and pressure, similar to a warm snap or rubber band flick, as the hybrid fractional laser works to resurface and remodel the skin. Cooling is applied throughout the session for added comfort.
Immediately after treatment, we enhance healing with exosome therapy which are powerful growth factors that help reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and accelerate skin repair. To further calm and hydrate the skin, a Velez face mask is applied, sealing in the exosomes and providing soothing relief from post-laser heat. This combination supports faster recovery, minimal downtime, and optimal results, leaving your skin refreshed and radiant from the very first session.
Recovery & Results: What to Expect After HALO
After your HALO treatment, your skin will begin its natural renewal process. You may notice:
- Redness and warmth for 2–4 days
- Mild swelling
- Tiny dark spots and a bronzed texture (MENDS) around days 2–3
MENDS (Microscopic Epidermal Necrotic Debris) are tiny columns of old skin that naturally shed, revealing fresh, rejuvenated skin underneath. Peeling typically resolves within 5–7 days, and following gentle skincare and diligent sun protection ensures the best results.
As your skin heals, patients often see:
- Brighter, smoother skin within weeks
- Improved pigmentation, texture, and tone
- Continued collagen remodeling over 3–6 months
Many patients choose HALO as an annual skin reset, leaving the skin refreshed, youthful, and radiant, with long-lasting improvements in both appearance and overall skin quality.
