Halo Laser is a cosmetic procedure that uses low-level laser energy to treat skin conditions, including the most common types of acne. It works by targeting and destroying bacteria in the pores, which reduces inflammation and prevents acne formation. This treatment is also known as non-ablative resurfacing, which means it doesn’t burn or remove the top layer of skin like other procedures do.
This treatment can be done on its own or with BBL (a type of body contouring), which is an advanced technique that helps reshape your body by using heat energy to melt fat cells. BBL is used to treat areas such as your love handles, abdomen, saddlebags under your arms, inner thighs, buttocks, and upper arms.

There are many aspects of aging that affect men and women differently, but one element we all experience similarly is aging skin. Whether this appears as fine lines, dark spots or laxity, it can cause us to look older than we feel. For men and women looking to rejuvenate their skin, laser skin treatments can offer effective results with minimal downtime.
At Harmony Healing, we offer a variety of laser skin treatments that can help tighten and tone skin, minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and aid in unwanted hair removal. Through our consultation process, we work with each patient to understand personal goals for the treatment so that we can recommend the best treatment, or combination of treatments, to meet those goals. Many patients are curious about the combined benefits of photorejuvenation through HALO™ and BBL™ (broadband light) treatments. These two treatments can be used alone to address a variety of skin issues, but when combined, they can more aggressively address discoloration, skin tone variances, texture irregularities and other areas of concern to a greater degree than when used alone.
Understanding Laser Skin Treatments
The technology behind laser skin resurfacing has made significant advancements in the past few years. Today, there are multiple types of lasers which are able to address a variety of skin conditions and help patients reach their skin care goals. Laser treatments work by utilizing specific wavelengths of light energy to penetrate the skin’s surface in order to:
- Stimulate collagen production
- Tighten skin’s appearance
- Reduce or slow undesirable hair growth
- Improve texture of skin
- Minimize appearance of dark spots or discoloration
About HALO™
HALO™ is a hybrid fractional laser, meaning it utilizes both ablative and non-ablative wavelengths. Through the application of a dual-wavelength approach, HALO™ is a good choice for a wide range of skin issues and most patients see results in one to two sessions. HALO™ is also a versatile treatment option that provides results with customizable downtime and this adjustability means it is safe for a variety of skin types. HALO™ works to stimulate your body’s natural healing functions by encouraging collagen and elastin production below the skin’s surface. As collagen production and elastin increase, these proteins help improve tone and texture of the skin.
About BBL™
BroadBand Light (BBL)™ treatments use high intensity pulsed light to stimulate collagen and other protein production in addition to improving overall texture of skin. BBL’s powerful and precise light energy is applicable on all areas of the body and can target precise treatment areas. BBL is also useful in reducing the appearance of dark spots by focusing bursts of light energy just below the skin’s surface, thereby pushing pigmented or damaged layers to the surface of the skin where they can then peel or flake away, revealing a more even skin tone underneath.
Benefits of Combining HALO™ and BBL™
Both HALO™ and BBL™ treatments are minimally invasive procedures that produce results with customizable downtime. For patients seeking enhanced results, these treatments can be performed in tandem on the same day in order to better address texture, fine line or discoloration concerns. When combining these laser treatments, it is common for BBL™ to be performed first. This quick and safe procedure generally takes thirty minutes or less per session, depending on the size and location of the treatment area, and works to target texture and pigmentation concerns and bring any discoloration to the surface of the skin. HALO™’s hybrid fractional laser technology can be applied right after to provide additional exfoliative results and further address any texture concerns, such as fine lines or textural irregularities.
The combined treatments build off of each other to produce results including smoother skin tone and texture and an overall more youthful appearance with the same downtime that would be expected from a single HALO™ session alone. Most patients can expect slight swelling or redness, similar to a minor sunburn, during the first few days after treatment.
Each treatment at Harmony Healing is personalized based on individual patient needs and goals. During your one-on-one consultation, further benefits of combining HALO™ and BBL™ treatments will be explained. Schedule your complimentary consultation today to learn about how you can achieve smoother, healthier skin faster than ever.
Why HALO?
- Glowing Results: Halo triggers the skin’s natural healing response, improves visible skin and restores a youthful glow.
- Minimal Downtime: The downtime is much less than a resurfacing treatment, and you can wear makeup the next day.
- Comfortable: We apply a topical anesthetic to numb the treated area. You will feel minimal to no discomfort.
- Real Results: 92% of patients say “HALO is worth it”. It’s named the highest in the Minimally Invasive Facial Laser category 2016.
BBL: Beautiful Skin with Power of Light
BBL (BroadBand Light) is the world’s most powerful IPL device on the market. It uses light energy to gently heat the upper layers of your skin and stimulate skin cells to regenerate. The photothermal energy reduces the redness and sunspots by eliminating fine vessels and reduces unwanted melanin.
BBL restores your radiant, clearer and smoother look. Age spots or rosacea will be a thing of the past!
Halo and BBL: A Complete Makeover that Lasts
The combination of HALO with BBL is unbeatable. Most of our patients get a synergistic effect when the treatment is combined. The BBL treatment will be performed first to treat any surface-level imperfection including discoloration and pigmentation. One of our laser technician will then perform a HALO treatment to target deeper layers of the skin for anti-aging and texture purposes. The combined treatment results in complete skin rejuvenation and has no more downtime than a HALO treatment by itself.

Halo+ BBL Before & After
Bbl Halo Laser Treatment Cost
The average cost of a Halo Laser treatment is about $1,500, with a price range of $600 to $2,400. The best way to find out how much your Halo Laser treatment may cost is to schedule a consultation with a Halo Laser expert, who can recommend the right number of treatments for your skin.
Bbl And Halo Recovery
BBL treatments are famously gentle, with little to no recovery time other than some lingering redness and sensitivity to the sun, both of which typically resolve within a few days. Halo recovery time is a bit longer, and some people have redness for a couple of days, followed by some flaking. However, most people need 3 to 6 BBL treatments to see their best results, but they’ll likely only need 1 or 2 deep Halo treatments.
