HALO® hybrid fractional laser resurfacing (Sciton)
HALO is a hybrid fractional laser, a true laser and the counterpart to BBL's broadband light.
Overview
Hybrid fractional laser
HALO is a hybrid fractional laser, a true laser and the counterpart to BBL's broadband light. Sciton built it to deliver two wavelengths into the same microscopic treatment zone at once: an ablative one that resurfaces the very top of the skin, and a non-ablative one that works deeper, where sun damage actually sits. That pairing is what does the job of a far harsher resurfacing in a single pass.
In one session it softens fine lines and wrinkles, refines pores and uneven texture, and lifts sun damage and discoloration, all while rebuilding collagen for results that keep improving. You get the glow of a deep resurfacing with a fraction of the downtime. Often paired with BBL, so together they renew tone, texture, and pigment for one radiant result.
BBL or HALO?
The question we get most, and the honest answer is that they do different jobs. Many plans use both. Your provider maps which one your skin needs at your free consultation.
| Treatment aspect | BBL® HEROic™ | HALO® |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | BroadBand Light: a wide band of wavelengths, filtered down to the range your skin needs. | A hybrid fractional laser: an ablative and a non-ablative wavelength delivered into the same microscopic treatment zone. |
| Is it a laser? | No. A laser fires a single wavelength; BBL sends a filtered band. | Yes. This is the laser on our menu. |
| What we reach for it on | Sun damage, redness, uneven pigment, active breakouts, unwanted hair. | Fine lines and wrinkles, uneven texture, enlarged pores, acne scars. |
| Downtime | Little to none. | The glow of a deep resurfacing with a fraction of the downtime. |
| How results arrive | The effect compounds, visit over visit. | One session, with results that keep improving. |
Both platforms are built by Sciton and are FDA-cleared. Individual results vary.
