How does HALO TRIBRID differ from traditional laser resurfacing?
Traditional laser resurfacing typically uses a single wavelength to target one specific layer of skin, often requiring multiple treatments or devices to address different concerns.
HALO TRIBRID integrates three distinct wavelengths in one handpiece, allowing Dr. Mohan to simultaneously treat surface texture, pigmentation, and deeper dermal concerns in a single session.
Can HALO TRIBRID be performed year-round?
Yes, HALO TRIBRID can be performed throughout the year, though we typically recommends scheduling treatments during months when you can more easily avoid prolonged sun exposure.
Since the treatment works on all skin types and can be customized based on your skin’s condition, seasonal timing is more about your lifestyle and sun exposure habits than treatment limitations.
Is HALO TRIBRID painful?
Most patients tolerate HALO TRIBRID very well. You’ll receive a high-grade topical anesthetic before treatment to minimize discomfort, and the handpiece’s integrated cooling system further enhances comfort during the procedure.
Many patients describe the sensation as warm or prickly rather than painful.
How long do HALO TRIBRID results last?
HALO TRIBRID stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, creating results that continue to improve for several months after treatment.
With proper skincare and sun protection, results can last for years.
Can HALO TRIBRID treat active acne?
HALO TRIBRID is designed to address the aftermath of acne, specifically acne scars and textural irregularities, rather than active breakouts.
If you’re currently experiencing active acne, your doctor will recommend getting your acne under control before proceeding with laser resurfacing.
What skincare products should I avoid before and after treatment?
Before your HALO TRIBRID treatment, you’ll need to discontinue retinoids, exfoliating acids, and other potentially irritating products for at least one week.
After treatment, avoid active ingredients like retinol, AHAs, and BHAs until your skin has completely healed, typically 7–10 days.
