Achieving smoother, more youthful skin is possible with advanced laser treatments that target fine lines, sun damage, and uneven texture. At Pentel Dermatology in Jacksonville, Florida, we provide the Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser, an innovative solution that combines non-ablative and ablative laser technology to revitalize the skin. This treatment effectively addresses a wide range of skin concerns, offering visible improvements with minimal downtime.
Halo utilizes a unique combination of non-ablative and ablative wavelengths to target both the skin’s surface and its deeper layers. The non-ablative laser stimulates collagen production while the ablative component resurfaces damaged areas. Together, they reduce wrinkles, improve skin tone, and restore a youthful glow.
Halo is ideal for addressing sun damage, fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven texture, acne scars, and pigmentation issues. It can also improve overall skin radiance and smoothness. Your dermatologist will customize the treatment to focus on the areas of your skin that need the most attention.
Most patients see significant improvements after one to two treatments, with additional sessions scheduled based on individual skin concerns and desired outcomes. Your dermatologist will assess your skin and develop a personalized treatment plan for long-lasting results.
During the procedure, patients may experience mild warmth or tingling as the laser works on the skin. Immediately after, redness and swelling are common, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days. Following your provider’s instructions and practicing proper aftercare will help ensure the best results and a smooth recovery.
While downtime is minimal, most patients experience redness, slight swelling, or mild flaking for a few days post-treatment. Makeup can usually be applied after a couple of days, allowing you to resume normal activities quickly. Your dermatologist will provide personalized guidance based on your skin type and the depth of treatment required.
With proper skin care and sun protection, the results of Halo can last for years. The laser stimulates natural collagen production, which continues to improve skin texture and tone over time. Periodic maintenance treatments can help sustain the benefits and enhance long-term skin health.
Yes, Halo can be combined with treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling, or injectable therapies to achieve more comprehensive skin rejuvenation. Your dermatologist will design a treatment plan that safely integrates multiple modalities for optimal results.
