Introduction to Halo Laser
The Halo laser by Sciton offers cutting-edge skin rejuvenation by combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths. The treatment can effortlessly eradicate blemishes and imperfections while providing longer-term skin firming through collagen optimization. At Casas Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Chicago, Illinois, Dr. Casas and her team are thrilled to offer access to today’s most powerful skincare solutions, including the world-class Halo laser.
When it comes to combating signs of aging, the Halo laser is an invaluable and versatile tool. It simultaneously eradicates surface-level damage while stimulating the body to produce more collagen, a vital protein that enhances skin firmness, suppleness, and resilience. Whether you are frustrated by the appearance of acne scarring, wrinkles, lines, or hyperpigmentation, you can benefit from Halo laser treatments, customized to your unique objectives.
To determine your candidacy for the Halo laser, Dr. Casas will take all the time necessary to provide a thorough and informative consultation process. In general, the treatment is suitable for those seeking to enhance their skin’s tone and texture and eliminate blemishes, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging. As with all aesthetic solutions, it is important that you are in good health and have realistic expectations for your outcome. Halo laser sessions are not recommended for those with active skin infections or ongoing acne. If you have taken Accutane in the last six months, you should also avoid the Halo laser.
When Halo laser sessions are performed with precision and expertise by our trusted providers at Casas Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Chicago, patients enjoy the following notable benefits:
To take your first step towards clearer, brighter, and firmer skin with the Halo laser, you will first sit down with Dr. Casas and her team for a thorough consultation process in Chicago. The doctor will complete a detailed medical review and discuss your goals at length, answering any questions you might have and providing information on the risks, downtime, and costs of the procedure. Once she approves you and you decide to move forward, we can schedule your session right away and provide helpful preparation guidelines to help you make the most of your visit.
On the day of your procedure, you will be welcomed warmly into our world-class facility in Chicago and placed in one of our comfortable treatment rooms. As a first step, we will thoroughly numb your skin with a topical anesthetic to increase your comfort and relaxation. You will also be fitted with protective goggles to shield your eyes from the laser during your session. The Halo handpiece is then passed across the targeted areas of the skin, releasing both ablative and non-ablative energy to rejuvenate the skin at various depths. Once all changes have been completed, we will apply a cold compress to help reduce tenderness and soreness during the healing process.
Your Guide to Post-Halo Laser Care
After your Halo session in Chicago, it is common to encounter minor redness and skin sensitivity. Many patients compare these symptoms to a minor sunburn. Any swelling will typically dissipate within several days. Other symptoms include dryness and a feeling of tightness, which can persist for up to one week.
After the two-week mark, you will begin to notice a brighter, more youthful-looking complexion. Over time, collagen production will gradually increase, providing longer-term skin suppleness and radiance.
Pricing for Halo laser treatments in Chicago can vary from patient to patient based on several factors, including the specifics of your treatment plan, the extent of your cosmetic concerns, and whether your treatment is paired with other cosmetic or wellness options. Once Dr. Casas completes an individualized consultation process and medical review, we will provide you with an all-inclusive price quote.
