What Can I Expect From My HALO® Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment?

HALO laser skin resurfacing effectively improves skin concerns such as dark spots, fine lines, acne scars, and texture issues. With this customizable hybrid treatment, you can expect to experience the “HALO glow”—skin that looks more radiant, smooth, and youthful.

HALO is a hybrid fractional laser that delivers ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to your skin’s outer and inner layers. The combination of these 2 wavelengths addresses various skin issues with minimal downtime, encouraging new skin cell growth and promoting collagen production. During your HALO procedure:

  • Your provider will cleanse and apply a numbing agent to your skin.
  • You may feel a prickling sensation and notice some redness when the laser is applied, but these symptoms will subside quickly.
  • After treatment, you will have some peeling and crusting for the first few days. You should avoid scratching or rubbing your skin while it heals.

You may see an improvement in your skin within a couple of days, but it can take up to a few weeks to see complete results. Your skin needs time to produce new collagen and elastin before you can enjoy your new youthful glow. Your HALO results are long-lasting with proper skin care, but you can have touch-up treatments as needed to maintain your glow. Take a look at our patients’ before and after photos to see HALO results.

Revive dermatology staff are professional, caring, and very sportive during the time I was with them. They listen to everything I ask. I came into Revive very nervous because I needed a couple of things removed on my face. The last time I had something done elsewhere, it did not heal correctly. I had an injection done where it was painful. They did it very gracefully, and I can say I did not feel much pain. I would like to say thank you again!! Everyone was truly amazing❤️

I’m so glad you came in and we were able to work on sensitive areas! Thanks so much! -Stef Gatica

Tawnya at Revive Dermatology Clinic and Spa is amazing! She is very knowledgeable and so informative on not only esthetics and facial skincare, but all over dermatology concerns. She takes the time to make sure you understand everything! She did a skin care analysis on me and cared enough to go through each individual section and allowed me time to ask questions. She had me wash my face and test all the products that she was recommending. I did not feel rushed, I felt very well taken care of and cared about! I just left and already can't wait for my 4 week follow up!

Thank you so much for your kind review!

Absolutely, hands down, the BEST clinic. Dr. Stef & her staff are perfectionists (which is incredibly important in a provider!!), not only that, but they all truly care about their patients & want what is best for them! They will make you feel comfortable, beautiful & well taken care of from start to finish. I LOVE that Revive is big on educating their patients every step of the way as well. Can’t say enough positive things about this amazing place & staff! Do yourself a favor and make an appointment!!
