Aesthetic Alchemy Med Spa is pleased to offer Halo by Sciton Laser Resurfacing, the world’s first and only tunable hybrid fractional laser on the market. By utilizing this innovate technology, it allows our practitioners to treat nearly any skin type and skin condition ranging from sun damage, loss of skin elasticity, lines and wrinkles, age spots, hyperpigmentation, melasma, large pores and vascular conditions.
The Halo hybrid fractional laser system works by combining two different types of treatments into one. Prior to Halo, laser skin resurfacing treatments provided either ablative or non-ablative effects. While ablative lasers work on the surface, removing the outermost layers of dead and damaged skin, higher frequency, non-ablative lasers are able to pass through the skin’s upper layers harmlessly and heat the deeper tissues, simulating collagen production and tightening the underlying skin. While the results achieved with ablative lasers and generally dramatic, non- ablative lasers naturally engage the skin’s own healing processes and can provide subtle lifting, tightening and firming of skin texture with significantly less recovery time. The Halo fractional laser system delivers high and low frequencies at the same time. This allows patients to achieve the impressive results of an ablative laser while experiencing the quicker recovery times that a non-ablative treatment provides.
The Halo system is safe for use on most skin types, tones and ages. It is fully adjustable allowing it to be customized to each individual’s skin type, concerns and specific requirements. It incorporates “dynamic thermal optimization” technology that measures the temperature of the skin during treatment and automatically adjusts to ensure that the laser is always tuned to the patient’s specifications and even automatically compensates for changes in the scanning speed of the hand piece to guarantee even treatment.
