- The HALO Laser is one of the top laser resurfacing procedures in the country and one of the top cosmetic procedures I perform in my clinic. With Christmas break coming up I finally had the chance to have the procedure done on myself with the help of our amazing aesthetician, Heather, at Treasure Valley Dermatology. This laser uses two different wavelengths of light to resurface and rejuvenate the skin helping to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles and decrease unwanted pigmentation. Check out how the procedure works and see my day by day recovery to getting that Halo Glow!

I will say that the “no pain” is VERY subjective. I swelled like a watermelon and it felt like I was being burned alive. Now the result was worth it but don’t be surprised if your treatment is barely tolerable. Ask for nitrous oxide ( if avail)as well as the numbing cream.
I had the same experience as you. My eyes were almost swollen shut! I’m two weeks out and I’m still red and have some dryness. They went pretty aggressive on me and said my side effects were normal! I had it done on a Thursday and worked Sunday. I was still a little swollen at that point. I hope it was worth it!
I had it done 2 weeks ago. Pain, swelling and all the rest. Now I look the same as before I dropped $2000.00. I am very disappointed.
@@lesleyjblackwere the results good?
I am getting this done Monday and cannot wait at a local dermatologist. I cannot wait and like your description of the whole Halo Laser treatment, from beginning to end.
When I hear good advice, I should always do two things: Take it in and pass it on.... by far you are the best doc... learning from from the experience is always the best...😍
Very detailed thank you
I'm big into the sunscreen. I'm ivory, red, and green, so my skin is very, very pale. I'm practically a vampire and burst into flames in the sun! I love your area and have skiied in the Boise area years ago. Sunscreen in the High mountain areas is key and necessary!
There are too many techs doing Halo on people that are not doing it the way you described.
Will you say this is best for antiageing and promoting new collagen or is there something better?
Is this okay to do if you are prone to melasma ? Thanks!
This was super helpful! Do you recommend any painkillers before the procedure to help those first few hours (looking back on it)? I keep seeing it feels like hot lava on your face but my PA has me coming in an hour beforehand to numb my face and neck.
If I get something like this done on a friday, and go to work in monday, can i wear minimal makeup?
Was it uncomfortable to sleep? (Eg if you're a side sleeper, do you feel your skin burning against the pillow?)
Halo or c02 which is better?
does it really good for acne scars the halo laser ?
Fraxel or Halo? Which one is more effective?
Dr. Portela i'm confused. I thought that lasers would cause patchiness for facial hair?? Iv'e consulted for the BBL and Halo for skin redness on my face but they keep telling me it will cause facial hair patchiness. Please explain
Great video! I am getting this done real soon. Is this a good treatment for acne scars or would the CO2 be a better option?
Any updates on your results?
@@ibtisamzubaidi did the halo results are unremarkable
@@chamakaaa36 oh man, thanks for responding 🙏🏻 may I ask what type of scars do you have?
How long before you can shave again?
how does this compare with fotona laser?
Does thw halo laser cause facial fat loss and does it make you look older
Can laser skin treatments (IPL?) lighten small moles/birthmarks or is it only for aging spots? What's the best way to blend in moles/birthmarks? thanks.
Is the Pixel Laser similar to this one? I have really big pores and some acne scars, so which one would you recommend?
Pixel is also an erbium laser. It doesn’t have the second wavelength like halo though.
What percentage was your halo?
could you please clarify if the halo laser damages facial-hair on men? it is the only thing i am hesitating with at the moment. don't want to lose my stubble tbh.
From what I've heard, the Halo laser targets water in the skin. Therefore, it's unlike traditional lasers which targets melanin and damages hair follicles.
How do you feel about a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon performing this vs a Dermatologist?
As long as a person is trained properly
I had an experience with lidocaine. I was having my wisdom teeth pulled while awake and the surgeon injected my gum and I immediately felt woozy and out of it. He asked if I was ok and I told him I felt like I was going to faint. He said I turned really pale. I’m not afraid of needles at all and have even drawn my own blood at the onco clinic just to see my CBC. Now I know for sure it was the lidocaine. My HR rests in the high 50s and it all makes sense now. Btw that’s the biggest tub of Aquaphor I have ever seen. I have a big tub and use it on my feet and sleep in socks at night after bathing.
All of the You Tube videos show young to fairly young people. What can an "old" person expect?
did it help your poors??
Poors? You mean pores?
I see a superficial boxcar scar on your cheek. Was that caused from the laser?
I have a super facial boxcar scar that was caused from irritation due to using acids, and I am researching a way to get rid of it.
