How It Works 

Laser resurfacing treatments reverse years of sun damage by removing damaged skin cells and triggering the body’s natural healing process.  HALO™ employs two distinct wavelengths—ablative and non-ablative—to address various skin concerns at multiple levels. When integrated into a long-term skincare regimen, HALO™ improves skin texture and clarity across all skin types, resulting in the coveted “HALO” glow, and potentially diminishing the need for future surgical interventions.   

The MOXI laser, a gentle non-ablative fractional laser, delivers energy into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This rejuvenates the skin from within, addressing fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and acne scars. The fractional laser technology in MOXI allows for controlled, targeted treatments, promoting quicker healing and minimizing the risk of complications. 

What It Treats 

Laser resurfacing offers a comprehensive solution for various skin concerns. The MOXI laser effectively addresses early signs of aging on the face, neck, chest, hands, and body, while reversing pigmentation irregularities and sunspots for a more even complexion. Additionally, it revitalizes the skin by improving its texture, tone, and softness, and reduces the risk of precancerous skin lesions.

Similarly, the HALO™ laser targets a range of skin aging indicators, including brown spots, discoloration, uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, and fine lines and wrinkles. It also enhances skin texture and addresses precancerous skin lesions, like actinic keratosis. Both advanced laser resurfacing treatments result in youthful, healthy, radiant skin. 

Benefits 

Laser resurfacing offers various benefits to enhance your skin’s appearance and health. Our HALO™ laser in Toledo combines non-ablative and ablative wavelengths in the same treatment zone, maximizing results while minimizing downtime. This innovative approach makes HALO™ more comfortable and better tolerated than traditional fractional resurfacing methods. 

Safety and efficacy are at the forefront of HALO™ treatments. The device utilizes research-proven, intelligent energy delivery combined with Dynamic Thermal Optimization to ensure each session is precise, safe, and effective. Unlike standard non-ablative lasers, which may require 5-6 sessions for optimal results, HALO™ delivers exceptional outcomes in fewer treatments thanks to its state-of-the-art, scientifically verified technology. 

Versatility is another key feature of the HALO™ laser. It can treat all skin types and various body areas, including the face, neck, chest, and hands, making it a comprehensive solution for skin rejuvenation. 

The MOXI laser in Toledo offers numerous benefits, such as achieving younger and softer skin, reducing excessive pigmentation for a more even skin tone, and preventing early signs of aging. Clinically proven to reduce the signs of aging, improve skin health, and lower the risk of non-melanoma skin cancers caused by sun damage, MOXI’s gentle rejuvenation technology is ideal for those looking to maintain a youthful appearance. 

In summary, both HALO™ and MOXI lasers provide effective, safe, and versatile options for anyone looking to improve their skin’s health and appearance through laser resurfacing.

Step by Step

Step 1 Consultation

Dr. Barone or an EVOLV professional will thoroughly assess your skin care needs and objectives. They will start by discussing your medical history and reviewing photos to evaluate the current condition of your skin. This detailed examination helps determine if laser resurfacing treatment is right for you. They’ll explain the benefits and procedure, address questions, and create a customized treatment plan. You’ll receive pre-treatment instructions, including a skincare regimen, and discuss the estimated costs and scheduling. 

Step 2 Treatment Planning

Before your first treatment in Toledo, you’ll meet with the nurse practitioner or Dr. Barone. During this meeting, they will go over important pre-and-post treatment guidelines. These recommendations often include avoiding sun exposure, stopping certain skincare products or medications, and ensuring your skin remains hydrated. 

Step 3 Treatment

Your EVOLV provider will apply a topical numbing cream to ensure a pain-free experience. You’ll also receive protective eyewear to safeguard your eyes from the laser light. The laser handpiece will then be smoothly moved over the treatment area, emitting controlled pulses of laser energy. Most people describe the feeling as a mild tingling or warmth. For extra comfort, we may use a cold air chiller.  

Step 4 Recovery

After your laser resurfacing treatment, you may notice redness like a mild sunburn, but this will fade quickly. Our team will apply medical-grade sunscreen, provide final instructions, and address any questions you may have. Avoid direct sunlight during the first few weeks or use strong sun protection.
