Sciton Halo Laser in Portland, OR

Years of living an active lifestyle can leave skin with a wide variety of cosmetic issues such as skin spots and hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone and texture, and enlarged pores, not to mention fine lines and wrinkles. Fortunately, with a Sciton Halo laser skin resurfacing treatment by Dr. Bohley, many of these issues can be resolved, leaving you with a fresh, rejuvenated appearance after just one easy treatment.

How Does the Halo Laser Work?

The Sciton Halo is the first fractional laser to incorporate dual-wavelength technology to provide both ablative and coagulative treatments in a single device. The ablative laser wavelength of 2940 nm targets the top layer of skin to precisely vaporize tissue to a tunable depth, creating microchannels in the skin that stimulate the body’s healing response to enhance skin texture and evenness. A second laser tuned to 1470 nm goes beneath the surface to address deeper issues, such as discoloration, sun damage, and skin laxity by stimulating the production of collagen.

By fine-tuning the depths each laser targets, Dr. Bohley can fully customize a treatment plan during your Sciton Halo session to address your unique skin condition and goals from treatment.

Conditions Halo Can Treat

The Sciton Halo is a versatile laser skin resurfacing tool, able to effectively treat any of the following cosmetic issues on the face or other parts of the body:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Scarring (including acne)
  • Skin laxity
  • Pigmented lesions
  • Large pores
  • Actinic Keratosis

While overt cosmetic problem areas are among the most common reason to seek Sciton Halo treatment, this procedure can also provide cosmetic benefits to others without severe skin damage and laxity. Additional benefits of Halo include:

  • Brightened skin
  • Youthful appearance
  • Tighter pores

What To Expect During Halo Treatment

Because the Halo laser is a fractional laser, it targets microscopic areas of the face, making the procedure on the whole very comfortable. Dr. Bohley will apply a topical numbing solution before proceeding with the treatment to further increase your comfort level.
