Sciton HALO laser is an exciting new laser technology which combines the benefits of 3 separate laser treatments into one and The London Medical & Aesthetic are very proud to be the only clinic in the UK to offer this innovative laser treatment to its patients. 

We now can address sun damage, surface texture, and fine lines, wrinkles and pigementation in a combined treatment with a much easier and quicker healing experience than any other laser on the market today.  In addition, it is the only laser that effectively targets large pores.

Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi uses the Sciton HALO lasers as an alone standing treatment or combining it with other treatments such as Collagen Stimulation and Chemical Peels to treat wrinkles, pigmentation, sun damage, acne scarring, and overall skin rejuvenation.

HALO Hybrid Fractional laser new resurfacing technology has completely revolutionised the theory that better results require either more downtime or more treatments, by combining the best attributes of both non-ablative and ablative fractional lasers.

This cutting-edge, non-invasive laser treatment stretches the skin’s natural thickness for a smoother, firmer, more youthful look and patients can get ablative-like results with non-ablative-like downtime. 

Most patients require two HALO laser treatments and there is little to no downtime. As with all lasers avoiding the sun after this procedure is critical and wearing sunscreen is a must.

Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi and his staff are excited to start providing this new laser technology treatment to patients at our London Medical and Aesthetic Clinic, which is the only clinic in the UK to have the new Sciton HALO laser – The world’s first and only hybrid fractional laser for laser resurfacing.

Over time, the skin can lose its youthful glow due to sun exposure and the body’s natural ageing process. As a result, the body may develop sun spots, fine lines, and lose that natural healthy glow.

Previous lasers couldn’t effectively remove this damage, because the treatment was either too shallow or too deep.

With HALO laser, we can finally have the best of both non-ablative and ablative wavelengths, which can precisely dial in the exact treatment patients need for amazing results within the desired downtime.

HALO laser eliminates years of damage by precisely targeting the right depth and restores the luminous glow skin by treating discoloration sun damage, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, poor texture, fine lines and scar revision.

In the past, you had to choose between a procedure that offered really great results but required a lengthy recovery, and a procedure with a fast recovery but marginal results.

Now with Halo you get the best of both worlds: great results with minimal downtime. Halo combines deep dermal rejuvenation with epidermal renewal for a combined synergistic effect you can’t get with any other treatment. Halo creates beautiful results without the downtime of more aggressive treatments.

Clinical results

HALO has undergone years of testing to perfect the Hybrid Fractional Laser technology. The design goal was to build a better non ablative fractional laser for physicians looking for an alternative to Contour TRL and ProFractional with less downtime.

In testing, investigators found something remarkable. Patients treated with Halo had much better appearance related to texture and pigment improvement than expected.

Patients had amazing results in 1-2 treatments while older non-hybrid technology needed 5-6 treatments to have similar texture changes but did not approach Halo in terms of pigment correction. In addition, there was remarkable, unexpected improvement in pore size and number.

Halo has the unique ability to provide separate treatments for the epidermis, which heals quickly, and dermis which remodels more slowly over time. The operator may choose one of three coverage-base treatment levels, and Halo calculates the exact amount of energy necessary to complete a safe and effective treatment. Intelligent energy delivery, combined with Dynamic Thermal Optimization, ensures precise and even treatments, each and every time.

Sciton, a leading manufacturer of high-quality laser and light systems in the aesthetic medical market launched Halo, the world’s first and only hybrid fractional laser, applying tuneable non-ablative and ablative wavelengths in a single pass to maximize results and reduce downtime.

“Halo is not an incremental product. It is the culmination of an extensive 4 year investigation involving new understanding of laser tissue physics combined with state-of-the-art implementation of all new technology,” said Dan Negus, President of Sciton.

“Our patients get the benefit of the quick recovery time of a non-ablative laser with the better effect of an ablative laser. It really does combine the best of both worlds into a single treatment,” says Dr Ayham Al-Ayoubi.

Every patient has different needs in terms of sun damage and downtime. With Halo, we can finally have the best of both non-ablative and ablative wavelengths. With Halo we can precisely dial in the exact treatment patients need for amazing results within the desired downtime.

Anyone unhappy with the early signs of aging, areas of dark pigmentation and uneven skin texture may benefit from the Halo Laser. 

The ideal patient is in generally good health, understands the laser treatment process, and holds reasonable expectation for results.  The Halo laser can be combined with other invasive and nonsurgical treatments to provide optimal skin rejuvenating results.

Halo Hybrid Fractional laser new resurfacing technology has completely revolutionised the theory that better results require either more downtime or more treatments, by combining the best attributes of both non-ablative and ablative fractional lasers.

Now with Halo laser, patients can get ablative-like results with non-ablative-like downtime. The cutting-edge, minimally-invasive laser treatment stretches the skin’s natural thickness for a smoother, firmer, more youthful look.

Radiant skin without the downtime

Over time, due to ageing and sun exposure the skin can become sun damaged or pigmented and we can develop fine lines and wrinkles and the skin loses its overall youthful glow and appearance.

With Halo laser, we can finally have the best of both non-ablative and ablative wavelengths, which can precisely dial in the exact treatment patients need for amazing results within the desired downtime.

An ablative laser has long been considered one of the most effective treatments for improving the signs of aging. By removing the outer layers of damaged skin, the skin is forced to heal, increase collagen production and restructure, making way for tighter, rejuvenated skin. The downfall of an ablative laser is the recovery and downtime needed, often 1-2 weeks.

A non-ablative laser treatment is far less invasive with little-to-no downtime. By heating up the outer layers of skin but not removing them, a non-ablative laser treatment is popular for patients who need to return to their everyday lives right after treatment. The downfall here is a series of several treatments are needed to achieve desired results with a non-ablative procedure.

The Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser focuses energy on the deeper collagen layer of skin leaving the surface of your skin largely in tact for a quicker healing time. It delivers the results of an ablative procedure with little-to-no downtime, like a non-ablative treatment. The best of both worlds!
