Frequently Asked Questions
Know before you book.
HALO is a fractional laser used primarily for texture, pores, scars, pigmentation, and visible aging. BBL is light-based and commonly used for pigment and redness. A consultation determines whether one or both fit your concerns.
Downtime depends on the technology and treatment intensity. Some light-based treatments have limited recovery, while fractional resurfacing can involve several days of redness, swelling, bronzing, or flaking.
The number depends on your starting point, treatment depth, and goals. Some patients choose a more intensive session; others prefer a staged series with less downtime.
Device choice and settings must account for skin tone and pigment risk. An in-person assessment is necessary before recommending treatment.
Consistent sun protection is important before and after laser treatment. The practice will provide timing instructions based on your procedure and recent sun exposure.
