When it comes to lasers, the treatment options are almost endless. However, when you schedule a laser treatment at Wise Aesthetics, you can rest assured that it will be an effective one customized to your needs. HALO is one of our powerful laser treatments that addresses and improves different skin concerns, meets the needs of patients with all skin types, and does so effectively so that patients can experience better skin after just one to two treatments. We offer our HALO laser treatments to our patients in and around Carmel and Indianapolis, IN.
What Is HALO?
The HALO pro fractional laser by Sciton® is the first-ever fractional laser equipped with hybrid technology, including a 1470nm non-ablative laser and a 2940nm ablative laser. Both work together to create controlled zones of coagulation that can target precise depths. These zones reach into the dermis, stimulating neocollagenesis. At the same time, the HALO laser device fractionally vaporizes micro-laser channels in the epidermis, the top layer of the skin, to improve tone and texture.
How Does HALO Work?
HALO uses ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production by forcing the body to respond to the treatment with a healing reaction. It can eliminate those dead, damaged, and discolored skin cells, replacing them with younger, healthier ones. As a result, you can expect visibly brighter and healthier skin after your treatment.
During HALO fractional laser sessions, the ablative treatment precisely removes the outer layer of skin for deep rejuvenation while the nonablative treatment targets the deeper layers of skin to promote healing without affecting the skin’s surface. This can provide some of the most comprehensive results among laser technologies.
What Are the Benefits of HALO Treatments?

By targeting the deeper layers and removing portions of the damaged surface, HALO laser treatments promote a healthier, more even complexion.
- It Is Suitable for the Face and the Body: No area is off-limits, as this versatile solution addresses issues from forehead lines to sunspots on the chest. The adaptability of the HALO laser makes it an all-encompassing choice for rejuvenating both facial and bodily skin.

The suitability and efficacy of cosmetic laser technology allow patients, regardless of their skin type, to experience the transformative effects.

The efficiency of HALO laser skin rejuvenation allows for a quick return to daily activities, making it an ideal choice for the modern busy lifestyle.
What Can HALO Treat?
You can experience rejuvenation as the HALO fractional laser targets the early signs of aging. This treatment smooths out fine lines and wrinkles by promoting the skin’s natural healing process, leading to a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Scars from acne or previous injuries can be diminished effectively through an ablative treatment. This process removes the damaged layers of skin, encouraging new, healthy skin cells to grow and resulting in a smoother skin surface.
Uneven skin tones and areas damaged by prolonged sun exposure are addressed with precision. The cosmetic laser targets discolored spots, while the nonablative treatment goes deeper to correct damage and promote an even skin tone.
Variations in skin color, known as dyschromia, can be improved with a HALO laser treatment. This technology targets and corrects uneven pigmentation, restoring a balanced and harmonious skin tone.
Addressing pigmented lesions without extensive downtime or discomfort becomes possible with our non-invasive treatments. Targeted laser technology gently fades these blemishes, leading to clearer, more uniform skin.
You can refine and reduce the appearance of large pores through this type of treatment. By encouraging collagen production and resurfacing the skin, pores can appear smaller, which can enhance the overall texture of the skin.
Frequently Asked Questions About the HALO Laser
Most patients only need one to two treatments to address their primary concerns and achieve that healthy HALO glow. However, since we customize treatment plans for each patient, it’s important that we meet with you before your HALO laser session to evaluate your skin and determine the best protocol based on your treatment goals. At that time, we can better project what it will take to help you achieve your best skin to date.
Yes! On its own, HALO laser skin rejuvenation is an effective treatment, but we can enhance the results with a unique combination treatment. Combining this laser device with a BBL treatment can better target pigmentation concerns on the superficial layer. BBL stands for broadband light and delivers pulses of light energy into the skin to eliminate damaged and discolored skin cells, rejuvenating the skin.
Together these devices will reduce superficial pigmentation, promoting a more even skin tone. If you’re interested in learning more about this combination treatment, we can give you details at your initial consultation.
Typical treatments take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes, based on the size of the area and whether you choose to treat multiple areas. Before the treatment, we will apply a topical numbing solution to ensure you remain comfortable. Once the topical anesthetic numbs your skin, we can customize your treatment to address your specific skin concerns.
You can resume most of your normal daily activities after it’s over. We will provide you with aftercare instructions that will help promote healing and recovery post-treatment.
Typical downtime after a HALO treatment ranges from three to five days. While you can resume most normal daily activities, there will be some topical products you need to temporarily discontinue while avoiding sun exposure and treatments that could aggravate your skin and delay the healing process.
You should also use a gentle cleanser and quality moisturizer to help nourish your skin for the first few days after the HALO laser treatment, as the skin naturally sheds and exfoliates, a normal result of the treatment process.
After undergoing treatment, patients can expect visible HALO laser results within one week. These results will continue to improve as the body increases natural collagen and elastin production in the weeks following.
Results can last for years after your treatment, but it’s important that you take steps to promote skin health by avoiding sun exposure, protecting your skin when you are exposed to the sun, and using quality skincare products. Additionally, scheduling other skin-perfecting treatments between your HALO maintenance sessions can keep your skin revitalized and exfoliated and prevent aging.
HALO laser treatments begin at $1350. At your consultation, we can give you more details about the total cost so you know what to expect.
Patients with Fitzpatrick skin types one through six can undergo this laser treatment to safely address vascular lesions, pigmentation concerns, and irregular skin texture. A consultation is necessary before scheduling treatments.
