“This is a patient favorite because of the visible changes that occur almost right away. If you want to look great this time next week, you will!

Halo Laser Resurfacing
The first and only hybrid fractional laser, this treatment is tunable and fully customizable to maximize results and reduce downtime. Erickson Cosmetic Dermatology & Lifestyle Medicine was the first in the country to offer the Halo treatment!
“Patients want great results from their anti-aging treatments, but they don’t have time for downtime. Halo is capable of removing years of sun damage and wrinkles in the deeper layers of the skin, but with minimal downtime.
So, our patients can have their cake and eat it too; great results with little to no downtime. This technology is novel, new, and exciting, and is revolutionizing the treatment of wrinkles and UV damage.” says Dr. Erickson.
One of the best aspects of Halo? The “halo glow”, as we call it in the office. Not only does it treat pore size, texture, and discoloration, but there is a noticeable sheen and luminosity to the skin after treatment with Halo.
“The fall is a very popular time to rejuvenate the skin,” says Dr. Quenby Erickson.
“Some patients have found that they have been lax on their skin care routines over the summer. Others have had a good deal of sun exposure, causing damage to the skin. This most commonly presents as brown spots or freckles, which can create an even tone. But you don’t have to live with it!”
