Will it hurt?
Many patients say they hear popping and snapping sounds, but overall the treatment is not uncomfortable. After the procedure most people feel like they experience a sunburn on their face. This sensation lasts about an hour. This is minimized with a cool mask right after your procedure at StarkMD Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center.
What are the risks?
Risks using the HALO Laser are rare. Some after effects from your treatment include redness and swelling for a couple of days.
How long do HALO laser results last?
You can expect your HALO Laser treatment results to be long-lasting. Our patients find that their optimal results last one to two years after treatment is completed. You can prolong your results by limiting sun exposure, including regularly using sunscreen and avoiding direct sunlight whenever possible. We also recommend using an anti-aging skin-care regimen.
Is HALO laser skin treatment safe?
HALO Laser treatments have quickly become a popular option worldwide for patients seeking a renewed look. Not only for the high percentage of satisfaction in results but because it is a non-invasive treatment with no downtime and little to no risk. HALO Laser is a safe option for adults of all ages and skin types.
Is HALO laser skin treatment painful?
Any chance of discomfort during treatment can be minimized using a topical numbing cream 30 minutes before your aesthetic specialist begins, as well as cooling technology within the equipment, ensuring that you are comfortable as the laser is applied to your treatment area. Patients do often report feeling the sensation of a sunburn after laser skin treatments; however, it resolves on its own quickly.
How much does HALO Laser treatment cost?
Initially, HALO treatments are more expensive than traditional laser sessions, but keep in mind, it would take three to four laser treatments with what one HALO treatment can accomplish. Additionally, the HALO results last longer, making HALO a more affordable option.
Does my insurance cover it?
HALO treatments are cosmetic procedures. Medical insurance typically does not cover it. You can check with your medical provider, but StarkMD Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center offers financing and payment options.
Can HALO laser treatment tighten my skin?
HALO Laser treatments are generally used to treat fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and skin discoloration and are not indicated for skin tightening. However, many patients do report that as their skin heals and rejuvenates, they notice some renewed elasticity in their skin, giving them a slight appearance of a lift.
How much does HALO laser skin resurfacing cost?
Your customized HALO Laser treatment plan can vary in cost for many reasons, including the extent of treatment needed and if you will be doing any add-on treatments along with your laser procedure. As a result, HALO Laser treatments can initially be more expensive than other options. Still, not needing as many repeat treatments and the increased longevity of your results can be an invaluable investment in yourself. We will be happy to discuss financing and payment options at your consultation.
