Summer is all about sunshine, vacations, and spending time outside—but your skin might not feel the same way. While those sunny days feel good, too much sun can lead to lasting skin damage. If your skin looks dull, has more dark spots, or feels rough after summer, you’re not alone. The good news? You don’t have to live with it. The Halo Laser is the perfect post-summer reset your skin is begging for.

Let’s break down what sun damage looks like, how Halo Laser works, and why now is the best time to treat your skin.



What Does Summer Sun Do to Your Skin?

Even with consistent sunscreen application, long hours in the sun can leave your skin tired and damaged. UV rays break down collagen, cause pigmentation changes, and speed up signs of aging. Some common signs of sun damage include:

  • Sunspots or dark patches

  • Rough skin texture

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Redness or uneven tone

  • Larger-looking pores

Over time, this damage doesn’t just go away—it adds up. If your skin doesn’t look as fresh and youthful as it used to, summer sun could be part of the problem.



Meet the Halo Laser: A Skin Game-Changer



The Halo Laser by Sciton is the first of its kind. It’s a hybrid fractional laser, which means it uses two types of wavelengths (one that targets the surface of the skin and one that goes deeper) in a single treatment. This combination helps improve both how your skin looks and how healthy it is underneath.

What makes Halo special?

  • Targets multiple skin concerns at once

  • Minimal downtime compared to traditional lasers

  • Safe and effective for most skin types

  • Customizable treatments just for you

Whether your skin needs help with tone, texture, or early signs of aging, Halo can help you get glowing again.

Why Fall Is the Perfect Time for Halo

You might be wondering: why get Halo now? Here’s the secret—post-summer and early fall are the ideal times to give your skin a fresh start.

Why?

  • You’re getting less sun exposure: Laser-treated skin is extra sensitive to UV rays. When the weather cools down and you're indoors more, healing is safer and easier.

  • You’re seeing the effects of summer: This is when sun damage starts to really show. Treating it early keeps your skin looking its best all year.

  • Perfect timing for holiday events: Treatments can take a few weeks for full results, so getting a Halo now means you’ll be glowing just in time for fall parties, family photos, and holiday gatherings.



What Can You Expect from a Halo Treatment?

One of the best parts about Halo? The results speak for themselves—but the process is straightforward too.

Here’s what to expect:

Consultation: Your provider will look at your skin and talk through your goals. We will review medical history and how to prepare for treatment. 

Treatment Day: A numbing cream will be applied one hour prior to the procedure to keep you comfortable. We also have the Pronox (Nitrous Oxide) available during the treatment. The laser handpiece glides over the skin, delivering targeted energy. The heat sensation will build during treatment and for several hours after you will feel a very hot “sun burn” sensation. Ice packs are provided to help minimize the heat.

Downtime: You’ll have redness and moderate swelling for a few days. You may also notice your skin has dark speckles (almost like coffee grounds stick to your skin) and it feels dry or “sandpaper-like” for a week as new, healthy skin replaces the old.

Results: Most people start to see glowing, refreshed skin in about 5–7 days, with continued improvement in texture as your collagen production builds over 6-9 months.



Real Results You Can Feel—and See


After Halo treatment, most people say their skin feels smoother, looks brighter, and has a more even tone. Some of the biggest benefits include:

  • Fewer fine lines

  • Smaller pores

  • Improved acne scars

  • Even skin tone and glow

  • Firmer, healthier-looking skin

And because the Halo works below the surface, the improvements keep coming even after the first week.

Is Halo Right for You?

Halo is a great option for almost anyone looking to improve their skin after summer—especially if you’re noticing new sun spots, rough patches, or dullness.

You might be a great candidate if you:

  • Spent a lot of time in the sun this summer

  • Are starting to see signs of aging

  • Struggle with pigmentation or redness

  • Want your skin to look fresher and more youthful

Your provider will help make sure it’s a safe fit for your skin type and concerns during your consultation.



Time to Treat Yourself—and Your Skin

You gave your skin a summer full of sunshine. Now, give it the reset it deserves with the Halo Laser. One treatment can help undo months—or even years—of damage and bring back the healthy, radiant skin hiding underneath.

If you’re ready to look in the mirror and love what you see, schedule a consultation today. Your future skin will thank you.



Glow into fall with confidence—Halo has you covered.
