Sciton HALO® in St. Petersburg, FL

Is your skin feeling dull, dry, and flat, with no treatments seeming to make a lasting difference? At St. Petersburg Center for Plastic Surgery, the Sciton HALO® laser treatment is a revolutionary skin option that combines ablative and non-ablative energy to the same treatment zones. This technology allows our providers to target superficial skin issues, like dullness, along with deeper complaints like pigmentation, sun damage, and fine lines. With the Sciton HALO, you target both the apparent and underlying effects of sun damage, leaving you with an overall healing and refreshed appearance. To find out more about what the Sciton HALO treats, call our St. Petersburg, FL office to talk with our team.

Our Sciton HALO treatment in St. Petersburg, FL covers many different skin concerns and complaints. The HALO is a state-of-the-art device because of its range of skin treatments. Patients who may be especially interested in the Sciton HALO treatment may have irritating and visible vascular lesions, patches of sun damage and/or pigmentation, and rough or uneven skin textures. This treatment is also effective for every shade of skin tone, so no matter your skin depth, you can qualify for this treatment.

You will be escorted to a private treatment room after your initial consultation. This resurfacing treatment combines two different wavelengths into one. The first laser targets the top portion of your skin with a fractional ablative technology that targets sun damage and pigmentation. The second wavelength targets the dermis, the lower layer of your skin, to rejuvenate your skin from the bottom up. This portion of the treatment addresses fine lines, wrinkles, texture, and other visible signs of aging. The Sciton HALO has a built-in cooling feature that keeps you comfortable and virtually pain-free for the length of the treatment. This treatment, when compared to other treatments, addresses deeper layers of the skin and helps to resolve sun damage more than competing laser treatments. Talk to your provider at St. Petersburg Center for Plastic Surgery to learn more about this treatment and discuss a treatment plan that is tailored to you.
