How to
prepare

A little preparation goes a long way toward a comfortable session and optimal results. Dr. Anna will go over a personalised pre-care plan during your consultation — but here's what to generally expect.

  • Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before treatment
  • Discontinue retinoids and exfoliating actives 3–5 days prior
  • Arrive with clean skin — free of makeup, lotion, or sunscreen
  • Inform Dr. Anna of any recent cosmetic procedures or medications
  • Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment
  • Plan for some downtime afterward — avoid scheduling major events immediately after

Recovery,
day by day

Downtime is real but manageable. Most patients describe the days following treatment as feeling like mild sunburn, with visible "bronzing" as the skin renews itself. Here's a general idea of what to expect.

Day 1–2

Redness & Warmth

Skin feels warm and tight, similar to sunburn. Keep the area clean and apply the recommended post-care balm.

Day 3–4

Bronzing & Peeling

Treated areas darken slightly ("pepper-grain" texture) and begin to flake. Avoid picking — let it shed naturally.

Day 5–7

Renewal

Peeling completes and fresh skin is revealed. Mild sensitivity may continue — keep using gentle, fragrance-free products.

Week 2–4

Visible Results

Tone, texture, and clarity continue to improve as the skin fully settles. Sun protection is essential during this period.

Caring for
your skin

Following the aftercare plan closely is one of the biggest factors in how well your skin heals and how long your results last. Dr. Anna provides a full written aftercare guide after every session.

  • Apply SPF 50 daily — sun protection is non-negotiable post-treatment
  • Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and moisturiser
  • Avoid makeup for at least 24–48 hours
  • Skip the gym, sauna, and swimming pools for about a week
  • Do not pick or peel flaking skin — let it shed naturally
  • Avoid retinoids and active ingredients until skin has fully healed
  • Attend any follow-up appointments recommended by Dr. Anna

Frequently asked
questions

How many sessions will I need?+

Most patients see noticeable improvement after a single session, though Dr. Anna often recommends a series of 1–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal, longer-lasting results — depending on your skin's specific concerns.

Is HALO suitable for darker skin tones?+

Yes — with the right settings and a tailored protocol, HALO can be performed safely on a range of skin tones. Dr. Anna will assess your skin type during consultation to determine the appropriate energy levels and approach.

Does the treatment hurt?+

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimise discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as warm prickling or a mild snapping feeling, which is well tolerated.

Can I combine HALO with other treatments?+

Yes. HALO is often combined with treatments like Erbium laser or Morpheus8 for enhanced results, particularly for acne scarring. Dr. Anna will advise on the best combination and timing for your goals.

When will I see results?+

Initial improvements in tone and texture are visible as soon as the peeling phase completes (around 1 week), with continued improvement over the following 2–4 weeks as collagen remodelling takes place.
