It’s not greasy or shiny.īy Day 3 and 4, small brown spots, like mini freckles began to show up on my skin. Again I had to tell my husband that I had something on my face.
Swollen and halo reddit skin#
It acts as a temporary skin sealant but is unnoticeable. With Halo® you use Cicalfate, which has a cold cream like texture. The other problem I know bothers people is having to wear a heavy layer of gel protection post-procedure, that make you look like you had a head on collision with a large jelly donut. You can also cut down on swelling by avoiding sun exposure prior to the treatment. My husband noted, “Hey, that was fast.” You could manage your own swelling better with cold compresses and perhaps sleeping with your head elevated, but compared with Day 2 of a fractional laser (see the picture on the left) the swelling after Halo® was comparatively minor. Swelling was most noticeable after sleep. I had some swelling under my eyes where the skin is the most thin and sensitive, but this resolved on its own in about 24 hours. Swelling is another concern people have and here again I didn’t apply any cold compresses just to see how extensive the swelling might get. My skin was a light pink, like I’d been out in the sun for about an hour without SPF. The next day, Day 2(see the picture on the right) some patients asked me if I’d been out in the garden over the weekend. If comfort levels are important to you, Halo® with a topical anesthetic and an optional oral medication should help open up laser peels to you if you’re anxious about comfort during the procedure. The sensation of intense heat was gone in about a day. Comfort levels differ from person to person, but with nominal anesthesia, the treatment felt like prickly hot needles certainly nothing to cause me to go screaming from the room. Rather than put off the treatment, I figured I’d get a sense for how it felt. For example I used a topical anesthetic as is the norm for most laser peels, but because of a busy schedule, I didn’t get around to my Halo® treatment until 2 1/2 hours later when a lot of the anesthetic effect had worn off. I sort of tested the limits of Halo® on purpose so I could tell people what it is like. With my Halo® treatment, when I got home, I had to tell my husband I had it done! There was nothing immediately noticeable that would indicate I’d had a laser peel. One you don’t want to make if you’re anywhere near a special event, especially one with pictures. To get intense results you often have to go deep but that means longer downtime its a trade off. When I got fractional laser peels in the past, the ablative nature of the treatment, made it evident to everyone– extensive swelling, extreme redness, a burning sensation that lasts for days or weeks, and wearing a thick layer of “skin goop”– makes getting a fractional laser peel a planned event. My Halo Story : Halo® results are intense but the process for getting then isn’t.
