Skin Treatments
HALO Laser
Years of sun and ordinary living leave a record on your skin. Sun spots, fine lines, and a glow that quietly went flat. HALO uses two wavelengths at once to trigger your skin's own healing response and bring that back.
Starting at $1,650
A consultation is required before booking.
What HALO Targets
HALO goes after years of accumulated damage rather than one isolated concern, which is why patients tend to describe the result as looking like themselves again rather than looking treated.
Wrinkles and fine lines
Softened as new collagen builds through the dermal regeneration phase.
Discoloration
The uneven patches that foundation has been evening out for you.
Sun damage
Spots from summers you stopped counting, cleared rather than covered.
Enlarged pores
Reduced in appearance as the skin surface renews and tightens.
Visible signs of aging
Treated across both the surface and the deeper layers at the same time.
Scars
Reduced in appearance through dermal remodeling rather than covered over.
You used to choose between a result worth having and a recovery you could afford to take. HALO was built so that choice stopped being necessary.
The MK Approach to Resurfacing
You Choose the Intensity
Everyone's skin is different and so is everyone's calendar. HALO is customized to both, and that is the part most people do not realize they get a say in. Each wavelength is tuned independently, the 2940 nm from 20 to 100 microns at the surface and the 1470 nm from 250 to 700 microns in the dermis.
A lighter treatment
Back at Work Tomorrow
What you get
Smooth, vibrant skin that is ready for makeup the next day. The right call when you have a normal week ahead and no room to hide.
Trade-off
Less correction per session. Several lighter treatments spread out will get you to a similar place over a longer stretch.
A deeper treatment
Worth a Few Extra Days
What you get
The result people notice without knowing why. More correction in one session, and the kind of change that holds.
Trade-off
A few extra days of visible downtime. Plan it around your calendar rather than squeezing it in.
What to Expect
Here is the honest version, start to finish, so you can plan around it rather than find out as you go.
Thirty minutes to an hour ahead, your provider applies a topical anesthetic. The treatment area is then measured with motion tracking so coverage is even rather than estimated.
Your provider rolls the handpiece over each measured section until the system registers the treatment as complete. With numbing and integrated cooling, most patients feel heat and occasional prickling rather than pain.
Keep your skin protected exactly as your provider instructs. You will see very little change on day one.
A light bronzing appearance develops. This is the part that looks worse before it looks better, and it is supposed to happen. Makeup can go on after the first 24 hours.
Your skin peels and the new skin underneath comes through.
The greatest pigment improvement lands in this window.
The dermal regeneration phase keeps working. Skin quality continues improving for months, and with a real sunscreen habit the results hold for years.
HALO Plus BBL
These two get paired constantly, and for a reason. They work on different problems, so running them together covers ground neither one reaches alone.
What HALO does. Combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths in the same microscopic treatment zone, which is what lets it correct deeply without the downtime that depth usually costs.
What BBL adds. BBL targets pigment and vascular concerns with intense pulsed light, and it moves fast enough to cover the body rather than just the face.
Together. Total skin revitalization with minimal downtime, correcting multiple concerns in as little as one combined treatment.
The typical plan. One to two corrective HALO treatments and two to three BBL treatments, then maintenance. Your provider will set the actual numbers against your skin.
Comfort. Numbing cream and cool air through the handpiece for HALO. BBL is fast with minimal discomfort and usually needs no numbing at all.
Makeup. Twenty four hours after the combined treatment.
