World’s First Hybrid Fractional Laser
Discover HALO at Euphoria Wellness Spa in Peterborough & the Kawarthas, the world’s first laser to simultaneously deliver ablative and non-ablative wavelengths, treating the damage you can see and the damage you can’t, in a single pass with minimal downtime.
Dual-wavelength technology, in a single, customisable treatment, delivers results that older fractional devices take multiple sessions to match. Outcomes are consistently described in the same way: a luminous, radiant, glowing skin quality unlike any other laser result.
The Gold Standard in Skin Resurfacing
About the Sciton HALO Hybrid Fractional Laser
Sciton HALO is the world’s first and only hybrid fractional laser, changing what was thought possible in non-surgical skin rejuvenation. It has earned its reputation as the gold standard for patients seeking comprehensive skin revitalisation with results that previously required significantly more aggressive procedures.
Before HALO, patients faced a difficult choice: ablative laser treatments delivered impressive improvements in skin texture and tone, but came with substantial downtime. Non-ablative treatments offered a gentler recovery but fell short of the transformative results many patients were looking for. HALO resolves this compromise by simultaneously delivering both wavelengths to the same microscopic treatment zone, delivering best results with less downtime.
How the HALO Hybrid Fractional Laser Works
HALO operates by delivering two distinct laser energies simultaneously targeting separate layers of the skin in a single treatment pass. This is what makes HALO unique, and why its results outperform either wavelength used alone.
HALO’s proprietary Dynamic Thermal Optimization technology continuously monitors and adjusts energy delivery in real time, ensuring precise, even treatment across every millimetre of skin.
What to Expect with a HALO Treatment
Before Treatment — Preparation
Topical anaesthetic is applied 30-60 minutes prior. Skin is cleansed and the treatment zone is digitally mapped for even coverage.
During Treatment — Comfort
Warmth and mild prickling; integrated cooling keeps the skin surface comfortable. Topical numbing only so no nerve blocks needed.
Session Length — Treatment Time
15-30 minutes for a full face treatment. Body areas may vary.
Recovery — Downtime
The warm sensation post-treatment lasts approximately 30-60 minutes. Resume normal activity within 1 to 2 days. 3 to 5 days social downtime.
Outcomes — Initial Results
Noticeable improvements in tone and clarity appear within 2 to 5 days. Pigmentary changes peak at 2 to 3 weeks as the skin continues to shed treated cells.
The Full Picture — Long-Term Results
Deeper collagen remodelling and dermal regeneration continue for several months after treatment. Results can last for years with proper sun protection and skin maintenance.

How many HALO treatments will I need?
One of HALO’s most remarkable advantages is efficiency. In just 1 to 2 treatments it delivers results that older fractional technologies require 5 to 6 sessions to match. Your exact plan depends on the intensity level chosen and your skin goals. Some patients opt for a single, deeper HALO session for a more dramatic result, while others prefer two gentler treatments over a longer period. Your clinician will recommend the approach that best fits your lifestyle and objectives during your consultation.
What is the downtime after a HALO treatment?
HALO is specifically engineered to deliver ablative-level results with non-ablative recovery times.
Day 1: The skin feels warm and tight, similar to a sunburn, with some redness and mild swelling.
Days 2 to 3: A characteristic bronzing and sandpaper-like texture develops as MENDs (microscopic epidermal necrotic debris) move to the skin’s surface.
Days 4 to 5: This texture naturally sheds, revealing brighter, clearer skin beneath.
Most patients can return to normal activity within 1 to 2 days. Social downtime is typically 3 to 5 days depending on treatment intensity.
What makes HALO different from other fractional lasers?
HALO is the world’s first and only hybrid fractional laser, meaning it is the only device that simultaneously delivers two different laser wavelengths to the same microscopic zone in a single pass.
