WHAT IS THE HALO™ HYBRID?

The Halo™ Hybrid fractional laser is the world’s first and only hybrid fractional laser with little to no downtime. Halo™ laser works on your skin for epidermal removal. Throughout the years, due to exposure to the sun, your face and body starts showing signs of aging. Aging gracefully is fine, but too much exposure to UV rays starts leaving sunspots and fine lines, and you start losing the natural healthy glow of skin. Previous lasers couldn’t effectively remove this damage, because the treatment was either too shallow or too deep. The Halo™ Hybrid fractional laser, on the other hand, eliminates years of damage by precisely targeting the right depth. Halo™ Hybrid restores the luminous glow you had when you were younger. So, here’s how it all works.

Whether you're dealing with early signs of aging or long-term skin damage, the HALO Hybrid treatment provides a transformative solution with minimal downtime. Read on to discover how this innovative laser treatment can help restore your natural glow and confidence.

What Is the HALO™ Hybrid Laser?

The HALO™ Hybrid laser is the world's first and only hybrid fractional laser that delivers both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in a single pass. This unique combination allows the laser to precisely target skin damage on both the surface and deeper layers simultaneously. The result? Dramatic improvements in texture, tone, and radiance—with significantly less downtime than traditional lasers.

Key Benefits of the HALO™ Hybrid:

Personalized Treatment Plans

Dr. Dima understands that no two patients are alike. Your HALO™ Hybrid session at WellMedica will be tailored to your specific skin type, goals, and concerns. This personalized approach ensures the most effective and safest results possible.

How the HALO™ Hybrid Laser Works

Over time, exposure to UV rays, pollution, and natural aging processes contribute to skin damage. Previous generations of lasers had a major limitation: they were either too aggressive, leading to long recovery times, or too mild, providing limited results. The HALO Hybrid solves this by combining ablative (which removes damaged outer skin) and non-ablative (which targets deeper tissue) laser technology in one session.

The Science Behind the Technology

  • Ablative wavelength: Works on the epidermis to remove dead and damaged skin cells.

  • Non-ablative wavelength: Penetrates into the dermis to stimulate collagen and skin renewal.

Together, these actions remove years of skin damage while encouraging long-term rejuvenation.

What Skin Concerns Does HALO™ Hybrid Treat?

The HALO Hybrid is ideal for addressing a wide range of skin issues, including:

  • Uneven skin tone and texture

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Enlarged pores

  • Discoloration and pigmentation

  • Acne scars

  • Sun damage

  • Age spots

This makes it a versatile solution for patients of all skin types and ages in Reston VA looking for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

The Halo™ Hybrid Laser is referred to as a hybrid because it utilizes two different types of lasers at the same time during the treatment. The first is an Erbium (2940nm) ablative laser that results in complete regeneration by causing controlled vaporization of microscopic sections of skin. The second is the non-ablative Diode (1470nm) that causes a wound-healing reaction and stimulates collagen by heating the deeper layers of the skin.

The Halo™ laser can treat a wide range of skin concerns, most of which are the result of natural aging processes, discoloration, and sun damage that include:

  • Visible signs of aging, fine lines, and wrinkles.
  • Uneven skin tone and texture.
  • Minimization of enlarged pores.
  • Improvement of skin concerns like hyperpigmentation.
  • Acne scarring.
  • Dull skin.

In summary, Halo™, from Sciton, sets the standard for the future of laser resurfacing by providing a safe, tunable, and effective long-term hybrid option for resurfacing treatments.

The Halo™ provides the ability to treat wrinkles, pores, and pigmentary issues using ablative and non-ablative wavelengths. You probably won’t require a lot of treatments, as you can see the results in just 1 - 3 treatments vs. 5 - 6 traditional resurfacing treatments.

The cost starts at $2,000 per session. There are a variety of factors that determine the overall price. To ensure that your Halo™ Hybrid treatment is affordable, we accept a variety of payment methods including special financing plans.

When you arrive at our office, before pictures will be taken in addition to the VISIA® Skin Analysis. You can expect to be at the office for 2 - 2 ½ hours. Numbing cream will be applied to the affected area and takes about 30 to 45 minutes for your skin to get ready for the treatment. The treatment takes about 30 to 45 minutes. In-office recovery time is typically 30 minutes, during which a cold air fan and mineral water mist dissipate the heat from your skin.

The Halo™ Hybrid fractional laser works by providing two different wavelengths of laser technology, which provide synergistic work to repair and rejuvenate your skin. It focuses energy on the deeper collagen layer of the skin, leaving the surface of your skin largely intact for a quicker healing time. Halo™ treatments deliver the results of an ablative procedure with little to no downtime, like a non-ablative treatment. With Halo™, you get the ultimate skin repair and rejuvenation.

The Halo™ Hybrid is the first and only FDA-approved hybrid fractional laser on the market. The Halo™ Hybrid offers consistent, clinically proven results with less downtime and less pain than other treatments. 

I was super nervous to get anything done to my face, but from start to finish (and beyond) Dr. Ali was absolutely flawless. Her staff was super helpful and accommodating, and took excellent care of me! I will be a lifelong patient of Dr. Ali!
