A NEW TECHNOLOGY IS PROVING THAT BETTER SKIN RESURFACING RESULTS DO NOT REQUIRE MORE TREATMENTS OR MORE DOWNTIME.

Halo is the orld s fi rst and onl h brid fractional laser, delivering ablative fractional

results ith non-ablative do ntime alo is changing the paradigm

of laser resurfacing, delivering the unprecedented results of ablative laser ith the do ntime of non-ablative laser

n the past, patients ho did not desire deep, full fi eld r resurfacing, hich off ered the best results but prolonged do ntime,

ere given t o options he could choose ablative fractional treatments fe er sessions, more do ntime , or non-ablative fractional treatments more sessions, lo er do ntime

oda , citon have completel changed this idea, ith a ne resurfacing technolog that proves better results do not necessaril re uire either more do ntime or more treatments

art of the comprehensive platform, alo combines the best

attributes of both non-ablative and ablative fractional lasers for immediate overall s in improvement, allo ing ablative-li e results ith non-ablative-li e do ntimes

for pigmented skin problems. The Halo is safe for treating darker skin types and achieves excellent results after only one treatment,” says Relic.

HALO IN PRACTICEBeyond the hybrid technology, Halo has many unique features that help improve usability and safety, including a dual wavelength Dynamic Thermal Optimization technology and intelligent energy-based parameters.

“The Halo’s combination of ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to the same microscopic zone improves healing time and therefore reduces downtime. The dual laser component generates excellent benefi ts to both superfi cial and deep tissues in the skin. It is reliable and is easy to use with its intuitive user interface,” says Dr de Zwaan.

“The non-ablative wavelength 1470nm removes unwanted pigmentation from superfi cial and deeper tissue. The ablative wavelength 2940nm is applied to the same microscopic zone and improves healing time as well as creating tightening and collagen renewal. By combining the two, you save time and money,” says Relic.

The unique new Dynamic Thermal Optimization (DTO) technology ensures tunable treatments for reliable and consistent results. This is because the depth of a treatment can often change with the temperature of the skin, resulting in treatments that go deeper than expected. DTO technology avoids this occurrence and monitors the temperature of the skin before each

pulse, adjusting the delivery of energy to ensure the depth of the treatment matches that on the user screen.

Halo also uses intelligent energy-based parameters to ensure a consistently even treatment by measuring the size of the area being treated and calculating the energy necessary to complete the treatment.

“The number of treatments required depends on the patient and their individual goals for their treatment. A single treatment gives outstanding results for tightening, evening skin tone, reducing pore size and improving skin texture but we see even greater outcomes with repeated treatments,” says Relic.

Halo sets a new standard for laser resurfacing, providing a reliable, tunable, and eff ective long-term hybrid option for overall skin rejuvenation procedures.

“We have been utilising Sciton lasers for over 10 years and are big supporters of their technology. The introduction of the Halo and its proven capability demonstrates that Halo is and will continue to be a game changer in the industry,” concludes Dr de Zwaan. AMP
