Eliminate Years of Skin Damage with Dual-Wavelength Precision

Over time, sun exposure, environmental stressors, and the natural aging process dull your skin's glow, creating deep sun damage, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. At Face Austin, the Halo™ Laser offers a revolutionary approach to skin resurfacing. As the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, Halo delivers both deep dermal rejuvenation and superficial epidermal repair simultaneously—giving you dramatic, long-lasting results with significantly less downtime than traditional ablative lasers.

The Power of Hybrid Fractional Technology

Traditional lasers force you to choose between high-downtime ablative treatments that resurface the top layer or low-downtime non-ablative lasers that work deeper but require multiple visits. Halo combines both in a single pass:

Non-Ablative Wavelength (Deep Dermal Repair): Reaches the deeper layers of skin to stimulate collagen synthesis, contract tissue, and target deep-seated pigment without disturbing the surface.
Ablative Wavelength (Superficial Epidermal Renewal): Gently removes microscopic channels of damaged top-layer skin, accelerating cellular turnover to refine texture, shrink pores, and restore a youthful radiance.

Key Skin Concerns Halo Corrects

Stubborn Sun Damage & Pigmentation: Erases years of Texas sun exposure, freckles, and age spots.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Smooths crepey skin around the eyes, cheeks, and mouth.
Enlarged Pores: Tightens skin structure to visibly shrink pore size.
Textural Roughness & Acne Scars: Polishes uneven skin and softens pitted scarring.
The "Halo Glow": Restores overall luminosity and vitality to dull, tired-looking skin.

What to Expect After Halo Laser in Austin

Days 1–2 (The Warmth & Swelling)

Immediately after treatment, your skin will feel warm, similar to a sunburn. Mild redness and swelling are normal for the first 24 to 48 hours.

Days 3–5 (MENDS Sloughing)

Microscopic Epidermal Necrotic Debris (MENDS) will form on the skin. These look like tiny, dark bronzing dots that make your skin feel rough like sandpaper. Do not pick or scrub—they will naturally flake off during cleansing.

Day 7 & Beyond (The Unveiling)

As MENDS slough away, fresh, luminous skin is revealed. Collagen remodeling continues beneath the surface for 2 to 3 months, further enhancing your results over time.

HALO FAQs

How does Halo differ from standard IPL or traditional fractional lasers?

IPL uses broad-spectrum light primarily to target color (reds and browns) on the skin's surface. Halo uses true laser wavelengths that treat both color and structural texture (lines, pores, scars) at deeper levels simultaneously.

Is the Halo Laser treatment painful?

With topical numbing cream applied prior to the session and integrated cold-air cooling during the procedure, most patients report feeling only mild heat and prickling sensations.

How many Halo sessions will I need?

Because Halo delivers customizable energy levels, many patients achieve their desired results in just 1 comprehensive treatment. For deeper scarring or severe sun damage, a series of 2 treatments spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart may be recommended.

When can I wear makeup after a Halo treatment?

You can safely apply mineral makeup 24 hours after your session, making it easy to return to work and daily activities while your skin heals underneath.
