Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology has released new educational content detailing the Halo procedure, a non-invasive laser treatment designed to address skin damage deep below the surface layers. The clinic, located in Foster City, serves Bay Area Peninsula residents and aims to provide clearer information about this specific treatment option for those dealing with long-term skin damage.
Dr. Miguel Canales, Medical Director of Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology, noted that many patients are unaware of the variety of laser skin treatments available during consultations. "When they have skin damage from years of sun exposure, for example, we may recommend the Halo procedure," Canales said. "The Halo laser is designed to address more deep-seated skin problems several layers below the surface."
The Halo procedure represents a hybrid approach, combining both ablative and non-ablative laser technologies to focus specifically on damaged skin layers while avoiding healthy tissue. This targeted approach helps stimulate collagen production for healthier, clearer skin while minimizing damage to surrounding areas.

This treatment addresses multiple skin concerns including wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and skin texture issues. The procedure's importance lies in its ability to target damage that extends beyond superficial layers, where topical treatments may prove insufficient. Skin discoloration typically affects only the dermis, while acne penetrates to the epidermis, but deeper damage requires more advanced intervention.
Customization represents a key aspect of the Halo procedure, with treatments tailored to individual skin types and specific concerns. Results can last up to two years when combined with a regular skincare regimen, though recovery requires careful attention. Patients typically experience recovery periods of up to seven days and must follow strict post-treatment protocols including staying indoors, using prescribed recovery medications, maintaining hydration, and getting proper rest.

The clinic offers consultations for individuals seeking to address skin concerns and explore potential solutions. Silicon Valley Aesthetic Dermatology's approach emphasizes education alongside treatment, providing patients with comprehensive understanding of their options for managing long-term skin damage resulting from environmental factors like sun exposure.
