BBL® vs Halo®: Which Treatment is Right for You | Greensboro, NC

Advanced skin rejuvenation treatments have the power to spur vibrant collagen production from within, eradicating various signs of aging and environmental damage. Two rising stars of light- and laser-based therapies, BBL® HERO™ and Halo®, are both effective and reliable options for achieving smoother, more evenly toned, younger-looking skin in a flash.

The right treatment for you will depend on a variety of factors such as your specific skin concerns, comfort level, desired downtime and aesthetic goals. Here are the main differences you will want to consider when choosing your ideal skin rejuvenation regimen:

Concerns

  • BBL HERO delivers broadband light energy to improve the appearance of freckles, age spots, sun damage, cherry angiomas, small blood vessels, rosacea, dullness, acne, skin laxity and other pigmentation concerns. Most skin types can reap the benefits of healthier, more vibrant skin.
  • Halo combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths of laser energy to treat fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars and other scars, pigmented lesions, enlarged pores and more. Halo can improve skin texture and clarity for all skin types.

Downtime

  • Since BBL HERO uses non-invasive light that doesn’t disrupt the surface of the skin, it is quite gentle. You may experience little to no downtime with mild skin sensitivity.
  • Depending on the intensity of your treatment, Halo can be more aggressive with a few days to a few weeks of downtime. During this time, you may experience some swelling, tightness and redness similar to a sunburn sensation.

Results

  • For your most stunning results, we recommend a series of two to three BBL HERO sessions as well as periodic maintenance treatments to keep your glow going strong over time.
  • Halo requires only one to two treatments to achieve remarkable skin-renewing results. These benefits can last for years with continued improvement with each additional treatment.

For both treatments, make sure to follow post-care instructions. Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers until your skin is fully healed. Most importantly, stay out of direct sun exposure and keep your skin protected every day with a broad spectrum, SPF 30+ sunscreen.
