What is HALO?: Benefits + Target Concerns
HALO laser treatment is a hybrid fractional laser that combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to deliver remarkable results. In simple terms, HALO works by creating tiny channels in your skin. This triggers your body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen production and cell turnover, resulting in smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
One of the best parts of HALO treatment is its versatility. It can tackle a wide range of skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to sun damage and uneven skin tone. It’s even effective for reducing the appearance of enlarged pores and improving overall skin texture.
During a HALO treatment, your plastic surgeon or aesthetic nurse will apply a numbing cream beforehand to ensure your comfort. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. Afterward, you can expect some redness, peeling, and swelling, but these usually subside within one week.
The best part is that you’ll start seeing improvements immediately once your skin has healed, with results continuing to improve over time.
What is BBL?: Benefits + Target Concerns
BBL, or BroadBand Light therapy, includes Forever Young BBL and BBL HERO. This technology uses light energy to target and treat various skin concerns. This is considered the most updated, safest form of the intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments you might have heard of. This light energy goes deep into the skin, targeting pigmentation, redness, and other imperfections, stimulating your skin cells to regenerate, resulting in clearer skin.
One of the standout features of Forever Young BBL is its ability to address a wide range of skin issues. From sun damage and age spots to rosacea and acne, BBL has got you covered. It’s even effective for reducing the appearance of small facial veins and improving skin firmness.
During a BBL treatment, you’ll feel a warm sensation as the light is applied to your skin. The procedure is quick, usually taking about 15-30 minutes depending on the area being treated. There’s minimal downtime, with most people able to return to their normal activities immediately after. You might experience some redness, but this typically fades within a few hours.
Many people notice improvements after just one treatment, with results continuing to improve over time.
Advantages of Combining HALO and BBL
Combining HALO and BBL treatments is like giving your skin a one-two punch of rejuvenation. Together, these treatments can address a wider range of skin concerns than either could alone..
When you’re treated with both, you’re tackling skin concerns from all angles. Many patients are amazed by their HALO/BBL before and after photos, showcasing dramatic improvements in skin texture and tone with just a single treatment.
Comprehensive Skin Rejuvenation
HALO and BBL together target different layers of the skin, ensuring that no stone is left unturned in your quest for radiant skin.
HALO works on the deeper layers, stimulating collagen production and improving overall skin quality. Meanwhile, BBL focuses on the surface, tackling issues like pigmentation, redness, and small blood vessels.
Together, they address everything from fine lines and wrinkles to sun damage and uneven skin tone. The result becomes more dramatic and longer-lasting improvements than you’d see with either treatment alone.
Synergistic Effects
When we combine HALO and BBL, we’re creating a synergistic effect, where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
The result is enhanced collagen production, faster healing, and more dramatic improvements in skin tone and texture.
Time and Cost Efficiency
We’re all busy. Who has time for multiple treatments and long recovery periods?
This is another big advantage of combining HALO and BBL — you’re addressing multiple skin concerns all in one session to save time on treatments and recovery. The BBL and HALO treatment process is designed to be comfortable and efficient, with most patients experiencing minimal downtime. You’re getting more comprehensive BBL and HALO results, potentially reducing the need for additional treatments down the line.
Customizable Treatment Plans
One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to skincare, and that’s where the flexibility of combined HALO and BBL treatments really shines. These treatments can be tailored to meet your specific skin needs and goals.
Maybe you’re more concerned about sun damage than wrinkles, or perhaps you’re dealing with both acne, or early signs of aging. Whatever your skin concerns, your treatment provider determines the intensity, depth, and density of the laser so it is tailored to treat your specific skin concerns.
This personalized approach ensures that you’re getting the most effective treatment for your skin.
Ideal Candidates for Combined HALO and BBL
While HALO and BBL can benefit many people, there are a few factors to consider.
Generally, ideal candidates are those looking to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously. Whether you’re dealing with signs of aging, sun damage, uneven skin tone, or a combination of issues, HALO and BBL could be a great fit.
During your skin consultation, your provider can assess your skin type and concerns to determine if you’re a good candidate for the combined treatment.
Those with Multiple Skin Concerns
If you’re dealing with a variety of skin issues, you’re in luck. Combined HALO and BBL treatments are particularly beneficial for those with multiple skin concerns.
Maybe you’re noticing fine lines and wrinkles, along with some sun spots from your beach vacation last year. Or perhaps you’re dealing with acne scars and uneven skin tone. These treatments can address all these issues and more in one comprehensive approach.
Those Without Active Skin Infections or Conditions
While HALO and BBL can work wonders for many skin issues, they’re not suitable for those with active skin infections or certain skin conditions. This is because the treatments could potentially exacerbate issues or lead to complications. It’s crucial to treat and resolve issues before undergoing HALO and BBL treatments. During your consultation, your treatment provider will determine when your skin is in optimal condition for laser treatment.
