Treatment Areas

Our Halo™ Hybrid Fractional Laser in Oakville is safe to use for all skin types and can treat the skin on the face and body. While it is widely used for the facial area, our clients have also seen significant enhancements by using it on their neck, chest, arms, hands, and legs.

Experience this one-of-a-kind beauty treatment and reap its many outstanding benefits. Halo™ has been proven to produce positive effects for the following conditions:

• Visible signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles
• Hyperpigmentation due to sun damage
• Pigmented lesions
• Scarring, including acne scars
• Clogged and enlarged pores
• Rough skin texture
• Medical dermatology, such as actinic keratoses

Our Halo™ treatment in Oakville can provide continuous anti-ageing and skin-enhancing benefits months post-treatment because of its ability to excellently penetrate the innermost layers of the dermis and encourage generous collagen production.

How to Prepare

During your initial consultation, our clinician will discuss detailed guidelines on the things that you can and cannot do prior to your treatment. This may include pausing the application of some skincare products, which contain certain ingredients that could pose adverse effects.
Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning beds for approximately two (2) weeks before your Halo™ Hybrid Fractional Laser appointment in Oakville. Laser treatment heightens your skin’s sensitivity to UV light.

How It Works

A topical numbing cream will be applied to the skin of the treatment site. You will be advised by our clinician that you will have to wait for 40 minutes or so for the topical analgesic to take full effect before starting treatment. The treatment areas will be measured. The clinician will expose the treatment site to a handheld device repetitively for about 30 minutes or until the system recognizes the treatment is complete.

During this time, it is normal to feel slight discomfort and a burning sensation because of the laser treatment. After this step, cooling air will be used in the area for 40 minutes to provide immediate relief from the heat and soothe the skin.

Most patients will continue to feel warm for an additional 15 to 30 minutes, or a bit longer with deeper treatment levels.

Results You Can Expect

Halo™ promises a total skin rejuvenating experience. There are immediate effects that can occur right after the treatment’s effects have dissipated on its own. Expect a clearer and brighter complexion. It is going to correct your uneven skin tone, banish visible blemishes, or improve skin discoloration.

The smoothening and luminous effect is worth mentioning as well. Your once dull, rough, and lacklustre skin will be a thing of the past. Patients who used to have excessively oily skin reveal that they find their skin more balanced and have fewer breakouts and zits. But that’s not all. Because Halo™ effectively stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers of skin, you can expect to see more enhancements after a month or up to six month’s time. This is called dermal regeneration.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

At APT, our Halo™ treatment in Oakville is tailored to fit each patient’s individual needs. When you consult with your clinician, you can choose to have one or two more aggressive treatments or multiple treatments that are less aggressive and achieve a similar goal over a longer period of time.

Aftercare and Recovery

As soon as your session of Halo™ Hybrid Fractional Laser in Oakville is finished, you will see that there is some redness and that it feels as though the skin has a bad sunburn. This differs depending on the depth and intensity of your treatment.

If you had an advanced treatment, your clinician may recommend that you take a few days or so to wait for the after-effects to subside. You will also be asked to apply cold compress on the treatment site to ease any discomfort and may take Tylenol or Advil if needed for pain management.

For the first 24 hours, you should keep your skin protected according to your clinician’s instructions, and avoid saunas, hot tubs, hot yoga or excessive exercise. On the next day, you will be able to apply mineral makeup and go about your normal activities. After two to three days you will develop a light bronzed appearance, and by day three or four your skin will lightly peel, revealing your new skin beneath. Do not expose your skin to intense direct sunlight until your skin has fully healed. It is vitally important to maximize the results with everyday use of sunscreen.

Potential Complications

As with all procedures, the Halo™ treatment in Oakville may have some mild side effects. Patients can feel redness, swelling, and inflammation on the treatment site after the procedure. Itching and peeling of the skin are also commonly reported a couple of days after, but they are actually clear indications that the skin is starting to heal. All of these side effects are normal and will resolve on their own. As with any medical procedure, occasionally more serious side effects can occur but they are rare.
