HALO Laser Skin Resurfacing at Wells Aesthetics
Flawless Skin, Minimal Downtime – The Future of Skin Rejuvenation
If you’re looking for a powerful yet gentle way to refresh your skin, reduce signs of aging, and achieve a radiant glow, HALO Laser Skin Resurfacing is the ultimate solution. As the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, HALO combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to target both surface-level imperfections and deeper skin damage—giving you the benefits of a deeper laser treatment with less downtime.
At Wells Aesthetics in North Bethesda, we specialize in advanced skin rejuvenation treatments, offering HALO laser resurfacing to help you achieve smoother, brighter, and younger-looking skin.
What is HALO Laser Resurfacing?
HALO is a hybrid fractional laser that simultaneously delivers two wavelengths: Ablative laser removes damaged outer skin layers to improve texture and tone. Non-ablative laser penetrates deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation.
This combination allows HALO to correct skin damage at multiple levels, making it more effective than traditional lasers while reducing recovery time.
HALO Laser is Effective for:
- Fine lines & wrinkles – Smooths skin by boosting collagen production
- Hyperpigmentation & sun damage – Reduces dark spots and uneven skin tone
- Enlarged pores – Tightens skin for a refined, smoother complexion
- Acne scars & texture issues – Improves skin clarity and reduces roughness
- Redness & rosacea – Minimizes visible blood vessels and redness
- Overall skin rejuvenation – Enhances skin glow, brightness, and elasticity
Precision Meets Personalization
What to Expect During Your HALO Laser Treatment
Most clients notice a radiant glow within the first week, with full collagen-boosting effects developing over 2-3 months.
Before Your Treatment
To prepare for HALO, it’s important to avoid sun exposure, self-tanners, and exfoliating treatments for about one week prior. We’ll provide a personalized skin assessment to ensure HALO is the right treatment for you.
During the Procedure
- A topical numbing cream is applied to enhance comfort.
- The HALO laser device delivers controlled energy pulses to the skin, targeting damaged skin cells and collagen fibers.
- Most clients describe the sensation as warmth with a slight prickling feeling, but it’s very tolerable thanks to HALO’s integrated cooling technology.
- Treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Aftercare & Recovery
Immediately after HALO, your skin will appear red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. Peeling and flaking typically start within 2-3 days and last for about 5-7 days as fresh, new skin emerges. To maximize your results, you should:
- Apply hydrating and healing skincare as directed
- Avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF 50+ daily
- Stay hydrated and avoid harsh exfoliants for at least a week
