Frequently Asked Questions About Halo Laser
After just one Halo laser treatment, many patients report an improvement in the treated area’s appearance as early as 1 month after, though your results will continue to improve for 6 months.
Following the Halo laser treatment, we will evaluate the affected region and review your post-treatment instructions. We’ll schedule any more appointments at this time to keep up your entire treatment plan and make the most of your results.
