What is Halo Laser?
Halo by Sciton is the first hybrid fractional laser — it combines ablative (1470 nm) and non-ablative (2940 nm) wavelengths in a single pass to address surface and deeper skin concerns simultaneously. This allows for meaningful resurfacing results with less downtime than purely ablative lasers.
Halo targets sun damage, fine lines, pore size, texture, tone, and early signs of aging. Treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes. Most patients experience 3 to 5 days of redness, peeling, and the characteristic MENDS (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) — small brown spots that exfoliate within 5 to 7 days. Results continue to improve for 3 months as collagen builds.
How much does Halo Laser cost?
Halo laser treatment nationally typically costs between $1,000 and $3,000 per session. Most patients see excellent results in 1 to 2 sessions.

What to ask your provider
- What Halo settings (ablative percentage) do you recommend for my concerns and skin tone?
- How does your approach differ at higher vs. lower ablative levels, and what are the trade-offs?
- Is a Halo + BBL combo appropriate for me, or should I do Halo alone?
- How many sessions will I need, and what should I realistically expect from one?
- What pre-treatment protocol do you require?
- What does downtime look like at your recommended settings?
