FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does the HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser resurfacing work?
Fractional laser resurfacing delivers controlled laser energy to the surface and deeper layers of the skin. This process may support the body’s natural repair responses and is used to manage visible changes that develop over time, including those related to sun exposure and age.
Who may consider the HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser resurfacing?
This treatment may be considered by patients seeking to address visible skin changes such as fine lines, variations in skin tone, or texture concerns. Suitability is assessed during a consultation, taking into account individual skin type, medical history, and specific concerns.
Prior to undergoing any laser treatment, patients are required to have a skin check with a medical practitioner to confirm clearance before the procedure can be performed.
What happens during the treatment?
A medical-grade 1470nm and 2940nm hybrid laser device is used to deliver light energy in a controlled pattern to targeted areas of the skin. A cooling system may be used to support comfort during treatment as well as other options discussed during a consultation. Session duration varies depending on the areas being treated and the approach planned during consultation.
What should I expect after treatment?
Patients may experience temporary effects, including redness, swelling, a warm sensation, or sensitivity in the treated areas. Peeling or dryness may also occur as the skin heals. Post-treatment care instructions are provided to support skin recovery and reduce the chance of complications. Healing responses vary depending on the treatment area and individual skin characteristics.
What are the potential risks and complications?
Risks and complications of fractional laser resurfacing may include:
- Redness
- Swelling
- Temporary changes in skin colour
- Dryness or flaking
- Infection
- Blistering or scabbing
- Delayed healing
- Scarring
These risks are discussed during the consultation to ensure patients are fully informed before proceeding.
How many treatments may be required?
The number of sessions depends on the patient’s individual concerns, skin response, and the treatment plan discussed during consultation. Some patients may have one session, while others may return for more treatments over time.
