Whether your skin is damaged from years in the sun or revealing evidence of time, HALO laser skin rejuvenation can give it new life.

People from the New Orleans area visit board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters in Metairie to restore youthful brightness and texture to rough, discolored skin. These treatments maximize results while minimizing discomfort, making them an ideal choice for busy men and women who want a renewed, youthful appearance.

What Is the HALO Laser?

HALO is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser. It combines ablative and non-ablative laser wavelengths to treat the surface of the skin and its deeper layers with a single treatment.

Each wavelength can be adjusted for the size of the treatment area and desired depth. For the lightest treatment and minimal recovery, the ablative wavelength can be turned off to avoid any impact to the surface of the skin.

How It Works

HALO’s ablative fractional laser vaporizes pinpoint spots of the skin’s outer layers to reveal new, unblemished skin.

Its non-ablative laser passes through the skin’s surface harmlessly and heats the deeper layers to break up excess pigment and increase collagen production.

Halo™ by Sciton Radiant skin without the downtime Over time, your skin can lose its youthful glow due to sun exposure and your body’s natural aging process. As a result, your body may develop sun spots, fine lines, and lose that natural healthy glow. Previous lasers couldn’t effectively remove this damage, because the treatment was either too shallow or too deep. Halo eliminates years of damage by precisely targeting the right depth. Halo restores the luminous glow you had when you were younger. Learn more at http://www.halobysciton.com Visit us at http://www.sciton.com

Am I a Good Candidate?

The HALO laser can be an excellent choice for women and men of all ages and skin types (even darker skin tones) who want to address any of the following concerns:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sunspots, freckles, melasma, and other pigmentation problems
  • Rough, uneven texture
  • Scars
  • Enlarged pores

People with active acne or lesions may need to wait until their skin has cleared.

Combined Treatments

We can combine HALO treatments with other medspa treatments for an even more complete rejuvenation. BBL HERO® is a popular choice because it reduces redness from rosacea, visible blood vessels, and other vascular concerns and helps address excess pigment closer to the skin’s surface. MOXI® is another complementary laser treatment that can enhance the efficacy of HALO. It is a quick, gentle procedure that targets sun damage, signs of aging, and dullness.

Treatments

HALO treatments are performed in our office. After a numbing cream has time to take effect, the skin is cleansed and eye shields are put in place. While you relax in our special treatment chair, the HALO handpiece is passed over the skin’s surface. You may notice a slight warming sensation as the laser goes to work. The built-in cooling system enhances comfort during treatment.

Recovery After a HALO Laser Treatment

Expect swelling, tightness, and irritation, accompanied by flaking that lasts between 3 to 5 days. We will give you a special ointment to speed up the healing process and instructions to follow to help your skin heal.

Recovery time varies between patients and with the depth of treatment; most need 3 to 5 days of recovery. More aggressive treatments may call for 1 to 3 weeks of healing time. Patients are encouraged to stay out of direct sunlight and avoid picking at their skin.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

In most cases, 1 to 2 treatments provide the desired improvements. Depending on your unique needs and the severity of your issues, Dr. Walters may recommend a series of treatments spaced out over time.

How Soon Will I See Results After a HALO Treatment?

Once the peeling subsides, you’ll be able to enjoy your refreshed complexion. Most patients see noticeable improvement within about a week that continues as collagen develops.

Dr. Walters is very personable, and I loved that he gave me his personal cell number to contact him if I had any questions. … His staff is SO wonderful, and I also go there for other things too, like Botox with Maggie and facials with Zea! 10/10 highly recommend going to the MODERN.”
