If you’ve noticed that sun damage, fine lines, or uneven tone are beginning to take away from your skin’s natural glow, laser skin resurfacing may be the solution. At the Institute of Plastic Surgery in Colorado Springs, we offer treatments designed to rejuvenate and restore your skin, yielding results that appear fresh and natural.
The Sciton® HALO® laser is one of the most advanced options for resurfacing today. This hybrid laser simultaneously addresses both the surface and deeper layers of skin, improving texture, minimizing discoloration, and encouraging healthier skin from within.
Our highly qualified plastic surgeons are dedicated to helping you feel confident in your skin. Whether you want to soften lines, smooth scars, or brighten your complexion, HALO® laser resurfacing can be customized to fit your personal needs and lifestyle.
It’s natural for skin to change with age, but delaying treatment often makes correction more challenging. Over time, skin may:
Show deeper lines and wrinkles
Develop sunspots and discoloration
Lose smoothness and elasticity
Respond less effectively to non-surgical treatments, sometimes requiring more invasive procedures
Starting early helps preserve your skin health, maintain youthful features, and achieve results that last longer.
Laser skin resurfacing with HALO® combines powerful results with convenience. Blending two types of laser energy treats multiple skin concerns in a single session. Benefits include:
Improve fine lines and wrinkles without surgery or incisions.
Minimize sun damage, dark spots, and discoloration.
Smooth, uneven skin tone and surface irregularities.
Reduce the appearance of large pores for a polished look.
Stimulate natural collagen production for longer-lasting results.
Enjoy minimal downtime compared to traditional resurfacing.
See gradual improvements that blend seamlessly with your features.
Laser resurfacing treatments can be tailored to the areas you notice most:
By reaching both the surface and deeper skin layers, HALO® promotes lasting improvements where it matters most.
Laser resurfacing with HALO® is an excellent choice for those who want noticeable improvements without surgery. It’s ideal for:
Men and women with fine lines, sun damage, or uneven texture
Patients with acne scars or minor scarring
Those beginning to notice enlarged pores or skin dullness
Anyone seeking healthier, smoother, and younger-looking skin with little downtime
Your safety and comfort are always the priority. During your HALO® treatment:
Your skin will be sanitized, and a topical cream may be applied.
The HALO® device will be gently guided over the treatment area, delivering energy precisely where needed.
A session typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the area.
Afterward, mild redness or swelling, similar to a sunburn, may appear, but this typically fades within a few days. Makeup can be applied within 24 hours, and most patients return to regular routines quickly.
Many clients see noticeable improvements after one session. For ongoing improvement, yearly treatments may be recommended.
Early improvements are often visible within a week, with continued skin renewal and collagen growth over the following months.
Most patients describe recovery as mild, with redness and peeling similar to a sunburn. Most return to work and social activities within a few days.
Laser resurfacing works well with other options, including injectables and skin tightening. Your provider will create a plan based on your goals.
Laser skin resurfacing with the Sciton® HALO® laser at the Institute of Plastic Surgery in Colorado Springs, CO, is a safe and effective way to renew your skin. With improvements in tone, texture, and overall radiance, this treatment helps you look refreshed and confident.
