HALO™ Laser Treatments in Parkville, MO
Get Amazing Skin with Hybrid Fractional Laser at Skin Fit Medical Spa
At Skin Fit Medical Spa in Parkville, MO, we help you get smoother, younger-looking skin with HALO™ laser treatments by Sciton®. Our team uses this amazing hybrid fractional laser to target both the surface and deeper layers of your skin at the same time. We listen to what bothers you about your skin and create treatment plans just for you that give real results you can see.
What is HALO™ Laser?
- An ablative laser that works on the skin’s surface
- A non-ablative laser that reaches deeper layers without harming the top layer
This dual approach means you get the results of an intense treatment but with much less downtime than older laser treatments. The HALO™ laser can fix many skin problems at once, giving you better skin with fewer treatments.
HALO™ Laser Treatment Benefits
- Fixes Many Skin Problems
- Sun damage and discoloration
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone
- Rough texture
- Light scars
- Early signs of aging
- Less Downtime
Unlike older laser treatments that might keep you home for a week or more, most people only need 24-72 hours of social downtime after HALO™.
- Customizable Settings
We can adjust the HALO™ settings to match exactly what your skin needs – from light treatments with almost no downtime to stronger treatments for bigger results.
- Long-lasting Results
Your skin keeps improving for months after treatment as it builds new collagen.
- Works on Most Skin Types
Unlike many other laser treatments, HALO™ can safely treat a wider range of skin tones.
What Happens
During a HALO™ Laser Appointment?
Your HALO™ appointment at Skin Fit Medical Spa is designed to be comfortable and straightforward:
- Talk About Your Skin: We'll look at your skin and talk about what you want to improve.
- Get Comfortable: We'll put numbing cream on your skin for about 45-60 minutes.
- Treatment Time: We'll roll the HALO™ handpiece across your skin. You'll feel warm and tingly, but the cooling system helps keep you comfortable.
- Cool Down: After treatment, we'll keep cooling your skin for about 15-30 minutes.
- Go Home and Heal: We'll give you simple instructions on how to take care of your skin after treatment.
Most HALO™ treatments take about 30-60 minutes for the actual laser part, depending on the size of the area we’re treating. Your skin will start to look better within days, with your best results showing up over the next 2-3 weeks as your skin heals and makes new collagen.
What Happens After HALO™ Treatment?
After your HALO™ treatment, here’s what to expect:
Day 1-2
Your skin will feel warm (like a sunburn), look red, and might be a bit swollen. You can use cool packs and stay inside.
Day 2-3
Your skin starts to get tiny dark spots and feel rough like sandpaper. This is normal! Don't pick at it.
Day 3-5
The old, damaged skin starts to flake off, showing the fresh, new skin underneath.
Day 5-7
Most of the redness is gone, and your skin looks much better. You can usually wear makeup again.
Weeks 2-4
Your skin keeps getting better! It looks clearer and feels smoother as new collagen builds up.
Who Are HALO™ Laser Treatments For?
HALO™ treatments work well for adults who want better-looking skin. You might like HALO™ if:
You have sun damage, age spots, or uneven skin tone
You want to smooth fine lines and wrinkles
Your skin feels rough or looks dull
You have acne scars or large pores
You want real results but can't take a lot of time off work
Other treatments haven't given you the results you wanted
HALO™ works on most skin types, but we’ll check if it’s right for your specific skin during your consultation.
How to Take
Care of Your Skin Before and After HALO™ Treatments
Before Your Appointment:
- Stay out of the sun for at least 2 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions
Does HALO™ laser treatment hurt?
Most people find HALO™ very tolerable. We put numbing cream on your skin before treatment, which helps a lot. During treatment, you’ll feel warm and tingly, and the machine blows cool air on your skin to keep you comfortable. It may feel like you have a sunburn after treatment for a day or two.
How many HALO™ treatments will I need?
One of the best things about HALO™ is that many people get amazing results with just ONE treatment! If you have deeper wrinkles or scars, you might need 2-3 treatments spaced about a month apart. After you get the results you want, many people choose to do a “touch-up” treatment once a year to keep their skin looking great.
How is HALO™ different from other laser treatments?
HALO™ is the only laser that’s hybrid – meaning it does two types of laser treatments at once. This gives you better results with less downtime than traditional lasers. Older ablative lasers can give great results but might require 1-2 weeks of downtime. Non-ablative lasers have less downtime but might need 5-6 treatments to get good results. HALO™ combines the best of both!
How long do HALO™ results last?
Your HALO™ results can last for years with good skincare and sun protection. The treatment removes years of sun damage and stimulates new collagen that continues to improve your skin for months. To keep your results looking fresh, we recommend using good skin care products, wearing sunscreen daily, and getting a maintenance treatment every 1-2 years.
Can I combine HALO™ with other treatments?
Yes! HALO™ works great with other treatments. Many people combine HALO™ with BBL HERO™ treatments to address different skin concerns. BBL HERO™ is great for getting rid of redness and brown spots, while HALO™ is best for texture, pores, and fine lines. We can help you create a treatment plan that combines different options to give you the best overall results.
