Experience glowing, younger-looking skin. HALO addresses both visible and invisible skin damage. Talk about divine intervention. It’s a safe and effective treatment that results in a glow that will have you doing it for the ‘gram on the regular.

You can go years between HALO laser treatments at our Los Gatos, California, practice while soaking up those compliments, knowing it’s all about you.
I love Alice and I’ve had a few treatments with her. BBLHero, BBL+Moxi, and UltraClear. I love my results! Everyone is so nice there and it’s a very welcoming environment. They take progress photos at every appointment. I posted my results from my first BBL session.

The full results of HALO can last for years after you complete a series of treatments. However, you’ll still want to keep—or start—a vigilant daily sunscreen regimen. HALO reveals new skin, and it needs protection. Every time you get another HALO procedure, the results get better. It’s a fantastic tool for sun-damaged skin, aging, large pores, discoloration, scars, fine lines, and more.
HALO and microneedling treat similar concerns but use different approaches to stimulate collagen production. Laser skin resurfacing removes the skin’s top layer, while microneedling punctures the skin using tiny needles. Both result in smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
After the treatment, RefinedMD will give you personalized care instructions for the first 24 hours. Get in your workouts beforehand, because you might be put on a no-squats and no-cardio regimen for a day. Doctor’s orders. After that, all normal activities can resume, including wearing makeup.
By day 3, the skin will start to bronze, but slow your roll, beach gods and goddesses. By day 4, your skin will begin to peel, so you’ll want to time your festivals, parties, and galas around this procedure. You’ll get a sneak peek of the new, younger-looking skin below the peel, but most people tend to lay low for the first week. You’ll look like you got a bit too much sun at the beach and go to work or happy hour like always, but you will want to plan any major events for at least 10 days after the treatment.
