Generally, throughout your teens and 20\u2019s the enjoyment of fun in the sun probably did not register with you that there could be a lasting detrimental effect to your skin. Over time, the damage from ultraviolet rays can show up as lines, creases, wrinkles, discoloration and dullness. As you enter your 30\u2019s, you may begin noticing these changes in your skin resulting from your youthful choices. While the level and type of skin damage from overexposure to the sun varies, <\/span>Halo\u00ae by Sciton<\/span><\/a> laser treatments can be customized to meet specific needs. Our <\/span>Pittsburgh professionals<\/span><\/a> at\u00a0AcquaBlu Medical Spa<\/a><\/span>\u00a0carefully consult with each patient to plan each <\/span>Halo\u00ae by Sciton<\/span><\/a> laser treatment to address the patient\u2019s unique situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

WHAT IS <\/span>HALO\u00ae BY SCITON<\/span><\/a>?<\/span><\/h3>\n

With UV damaged skin, the epidermis shows visible evidence while damage to the dermis is unseen. <\/span>Halo\u00ae by Sciton<\/span><\/a> is a hybrid laser which combines two laser frequencies into one treatment, to stimulate healing in both the dermis and epidermis. Laser treatments have been proven to break down discoloration, remove fine lines and restore skin tone. (<\/span>Europe PMC<\/span><\/i><\/a>, <\/span>Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/i><\/a>, <\/span>MedlinePlus<\/span><\/i><\/a>) In the past, laser treatments were performed using either ablative lasers or nonablative lasers. <\/span>Halo\u00ae by Sciton<\/span><\/a> combines the two. Because ablative lasers remove a thin layer of skin they require a period of recovery time. Nonablative lasers produce a more gentle stimulation and repair the skin over an extended period, so recovery time is minimized. Our <\/span>Pittsburgh dermatologists<\/span> at\u00a0AcquaBlu Medical Spa<\/span>\u00a0are able to adapt the level of the laser treatment to target your specific area of concern and go to the exact depth necessary to restore the luminous glow of your youth. (<\/span>Europe PMC<\/span><\/i><\/a>, <\/span>Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/i><\/a>, <\/span>MedlinePlus<\/span><\/i><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF <\/span>HALO\u00ae BY SCITON<\/span><\/a> FOR UV DAMAGED SKIN<\/span><\/h3>\n

Complete skin rejuvenation treatment can improve the appearance of your skin whether your damage is severe or minor. Nonablative lasers allow for a quicker recovery and little to no down time if that is most important to the patient. <\/span>Halo\u00ae by Sciton<\/span><\/a> combines the qualities of the ablative and nonablative laser treatments into a hybrid technique which gives a flexible range of therapy and length of recovery times. Overexposure to the sun\u2019s ultraviolet rays accelerates the aging of your skin in at least two ways. The sun causes dark spots by activating chemical o-DOPAQUINONE within the skin, which then affects melanin (pigment) production. UV rays also weaken the connective tissues, reducing the skin\u2019s strength and elasticity. \u00a0<\/span>Halo\u00ae by Sciton<\/span><\/a> treatments are able to diminish the visible signs of sun damage from either pathway. <\/span>Halo\u00ae by Sciton<\/span><\/a> laser treatments can smooth your overall complexion and improve the reflectivity of your skin. It restores a \u201cglow\u201d and the results can last for years. (<\/span>Europe PMC<\/span><\/i><\/a>, <\/span><\/i>Mayo Clinic<\/span><\/i><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

WHY CHOOSE\u00a0<\/span>ACQUABLU MEDICAL SPA<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>FOR YOUR <\/span>HALO\u00ae BY SCITON<\/span><\/a> LASER TREATMENTS?<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"HALO-2\"<\/p>\n

In the past, patients had to choose between a laser treatment that did not require much, if any, recovery time, but might not fully treat their skin damage and a more aggressive laser treatment that removed a layer of skin, necessitating a recovery period. Now, patients don\u2019t have to choose because <\/span>Halo\u00ae by Sciton<\/span><\/a> combines the benefits of both treatments. <\/span>The <\/span>Acqua Blu Medical Spa<\/span><\/a> was the first dermatology, and medical spa in Pennsylvania to offer this cutting edge hybrid treatment. <\/span>Halo\u00ae by Sciton at Acqua Blu Medical Spa<\/span><\/a>\u00a0allows our patient\u2019s treatments to be adjusted and varied to meet their unique skin care needs. Our highly trained Pittsburgh professionals, <\/span>Dr. Brian V. Heil<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Dr. Ana Busquets<\/span><\/a> thoroughly consider each patient\u2019s individual history and concerns when developing their laser treatment regimen. In a consultation with <\/span>Dr. Heil<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Dr. Busquets<\/span><\/a>, the benefits and risks associated with <\/span>Halo\u00ae by Sciton<\/span><\/a> laser treatment will be discussed so that you can determine if\u00a0Halo\u00ae by Sciton at Acqua Blu Medical Spa<\/span><\/a><\/span>\u00a0is the right choice to repair your sun damaged skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

HOW IS A <\/span>HALO\u00ae BY SCITON<\/span><\/a> LASER TREATMENT PERFORMED?<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0Halo\u00ae by Sciton at Acqua Blu Medical Spa<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>is a specialized laser treatment that targets our patient\u2019s individual areas of concern. The treatment begins with application of a topical anesthetic to reduce any uncomfortable sensations during the procedure. Areas in need of treatment and the depth of the damage in the skin are identified and measured. Each measured section is treated by gently rolling the <\/span>Halo\u00ae by Sciton<\/span><\/a> handpiece over the skin emitting quick pulses of laser energy until the treatment is complete. <\/span>Halo\u00ae by Sciton<\/span><\/a> laser treatment is ideal as the handpiece passes over each area of concern only once, making it a safe and quick procedure that yields satisfying results. Recovery time varies depending on the level of treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n
