Halo Laser

Introduction to HALO Laser Treatment

Sciton’s HALO is a laser treatment performed to eliminate superficial skin damage and restore a vibrant, refreshed complexion. It combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, allowing for both powerful resurfacing and deeper-level collagen renewal. Dr. Ahmed Ibrahim and his team in Melbourne, FL, are dedicated to delivering exceptional results in a state-of-the-art practice environment.

What is a HALO Laser Treatment?

With time, the complexion may begin to reveal signs of damage and aging. This is a result of both environmental stressors and the body’s decreased supply of hydrating compounds, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin. The HALO laser offers a powerful resurfacing solution that combats concerns such as wrinkles, lines, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation, while simultaneously boosting the deeper skin layers to enhance collagen production. This dual rejuvenation mechanism is what makes HALO one of the most popular and innovative skincare technologies on the market today.

What Are the Benefits of a HALO Laser Treatment?

HALO treatment in Melbourne, Tampa, and St. Petersburg provides a wealth of advantages, including the following:

Who Are the Best Candidates for a HALO Laser Treatment?

When performed by experienced professionals, HALO is a safe and effective treatment for healthy individuals seeking a more refreshed, revitalized complexion. If you are unhappy with your skin tone or texture or troubled by blemishes and hyperpigmentation, you may be an excellent candidate for treatment with the HALO laser in Melbourne. As with all cosmetic undertakings, you should have realistic expectations for your results based on your private consultation with the doctor and his friendly, caring team. HALO is not an option for those with active skin infections or active acne. Patients who have taken Accutane in the past six months should postpone any sessions with HALO.

step

What is the First Step?

The first step in undergoing HALO laser treatment is to meet with Dr. Ibrahim and his team for a private consultation and skin analysis session. The doctor will review your cosmetic goals, address all your questions, and examine your medical history to ensure that no contraindications are present. Once your candidacy has been approved and your customized treatment plan has been created, your HALO appointment will be scheduled, and you will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare for your session effectively.

What to Expect on the Day of a HALO Laser Treatment

Your HALO session begins with a thorough cleansing of your skin and the application of a topical numbing cream. During your appointment, you will also be fitted with protective goggles to shade your eyes. The HALO device is then passed over the targeted areas, releasing ablative and non-ablative energy that penetrates the skin at different depths. Once all the work has been completed, a cold compress will be applied to your skin to help alleviate any tenderness.

HALO Laser Treatment Recovery

Common side effects after HALO laser resurfacing include minor redness and sensitivity, comparable to a sunburn. Swelling typically dissipates within a few days. You may also experience dryness and tightness in the skin, which typically lasts about one week. Within two weeks, you will begin to notice a more even and brighter skin tone, and over time, your collagen production will increase, providing the skin with longer-term suppleness, resilience, and youthfulness.

Improving Your Recovery with PDGF and Peptides

Although HALO is gentler than deep resurfacing, supporting the skin’s healing response can noticeably enhance your comfort, shorten downtime, and elevate your glow. To optimize recovery, Dr. Ibrahim often recommends pairing Pure PDGF by AriEssence with the AR Radiant Recovery Protocol, a proprietary peptide program created by AR Aesthetics to enhance tissue regeneration.

Pure PDGF delivers concentrated growth factors that encourage faster cell turnover, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the skin as it begins to rebuild after HALO. To complement these effects, the AR Radiant Recovery Protocol incorporates three powerful peptides—BPC-157, TB-500, and GHK-Cu—that work synergistically to support deeper healing and collagen renewal.

  • BPC-157 accelerates tissue repair, reduces post-treatment redness, and helps calm inflammation.
  • TB-500 (Thymosin Beta-4) enhances cell migration and microcirculation, supporting even, healthy healing beneath the surface.
  • GHK-Cu boosts collagen remodeling, reduces inflammation, and improves overall skin quality as new tissue forms.

When used together, Pure PDGF and the AR Radiant Recovery Protocol help your skin recover more efficiently while amplifying HALO’s signature radiance—giving you brighter, smoother, and more resilient skin with even better long-term results.
