Resurface skin affected by sun damage, uneven tone, rough texture, enlarged pores, and fine lines with the HALO® laser. At New You Center, we customize this hybrid fractional treatment to your skin and goals, balancing meaningful rejuvenation with a manageable recovery.
HALO Laser at a Glance
Correct Tone and Texture at Two Levels
HALO is a hybrid fractional laser that combines two wavelengths in one treatment: an ablative wavelength that targets the skin’s surface and a non-ablative wavelength that works deeper. By treating both layers simultaneously, HALO can address sun damage, uneven pigmentation, rough texture, enlarged pores, and fine lines while also stimulating collagen production.
HALO Laser Treats:
- Sun damage
- Uneven pigmentation
- Brown spots and discoloration
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Acne scars
- Other textural irregularities
- Dull or weathered-looking skin

Deep Dive Into HALO Laser
How Does the HALO Laser Work?
HALO uses two laser wavelengths to treat different skin depths. Its ablative 2940 nm wavelength creates tiny channels in the surface, removing microscopic areas of damaged tissue and prompting renewal. At the same time, a non-ablative 1470 nm laser wavelength heats the deeper tissue, stimulating collagen remodeling. Because only a fraction of the skin is treated in microscopic columns at once, the surrounding healthy tissue helps the area heal more efficiently.
When Will I See My HALO Laser Results?
You may notice brighter, smoother-looking skin once the healing phase passes. Improvements can continue developing over the following weeks and months as your skin renews itself and collagen remodels. Pigmentation, texture, pores, and fine lines may improve at different rates.
What Is Recovery Like After HALO?
Your skin may feel warm and look red or swollen shortly after treatment. Over the next several days, you may notice a bronzed appearance and tiny dark spots as the treated tissue works its way to the surface. Your skin can also feel rough before naturally flaking.
FAQs
Will One HALO Treatment Be Enough for Me?
It may be, depending on what you want to improve and how aggressively your treatment is performed. HALO’s settings can be adjusted, so some patients choose an intensive treatment while others benefit from a series of gentler sessions.
Why Does HALO Use Two Wavelengths?
Because surface damage and deeper skin changes aren’t the same problem. HALO’s ablative wavelength resurfaces microscopic portions of the outer skin, while its non-ablative wavelength delivers heat deeper into the tissue for collagen production. Combining both wavelengths allows tone, texture, and collagen-related concerns to be addressed in a single treatment.
How Will I Know if HALO Is the Right Laser for Me?
You don’t need to choose your laser. Dr. Mary Beth Mudd will examine pigmentation, texture, pores, wrinkles, scars, skin type, and your desired downtime, then explain whether HALO, or another laser available at New You Center (or beyond), better matches what your skin needs.
