We believe that your skin is a canvas that deserves the most refined tools in the world. For our patients in Duluth, we’ve found that few things offer the artful precision of the Sciton HALO.
As an award-winning technology, the HALO is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser. It combines high-intensity results and the manageable recovery that our modern, active patients desire. If you're looking to address common skin concerns like sun damage, enlarged pores, or a loss of that signature luminous glow, Karishma Lakhani, PA-C, uses this laser skin resurfacing powerhouse to provide uniform results tailored specifically to you.
The Sciton HALO is a revolutionary hybrid fractional laser that delivers two distinct wavelengths to the treated area simultaneously. In the past, aesthetics required a compromise: you had to choose between an ablative laser treatment (which offers great results but significant downtime) or a non-ablative one (which offers a faster recovery but often requires a long series of treatments).
With the HALO technology, there's no need for compromise. By targeting both the top layer (epidermis) and the deeper dermal tissue at the same time, the laser works to trigger a deep healing response while refreshing the skin’s surface.
Choosing HALO means choosing a more efficient path to healthier-looking skin. The dual-action laser provides:
Most patients who are looking to reverse the signs of aging or correct environmental damage are excellent candidates. Because the HALO is highly adjustable, it's safe for diverse skin types and skin tone profiles, a core part of our diversity value at Kontour. Whether you're in your 20s looking for a luminous glow or in your 50s wanting to soften deeper wrinkles, HALO can be curated for you.
Karishma uses the HALO to treat many different skin concerns:
By triggering collagen remodeling, HALO softens fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes and mouth, for a naturally refreshed appearance.
The laser targets pigmented lesions and sun damage dyschromia, breaking up unwanted pigment to reveal a more even tone.
By tightening the surrounding tissue, HALO effectively minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores for a smoother "filter-like" finish.
For those struggling with acne scars or rough texture, the laser smooths the skin's surface by replacing damaged cells with healthy skin.
Your consultation with Karishma, our expert provider, will consist of a thorough skin analysis and a discussion of your medical history.
To prepare for your treatment:

At Kontour, we want your experience to be luxe, not clinical.
We apply a high-grade topical numbing cream to the treatment area for 30 to 60 minutes. Then we start with the HALO system, which uses motion-tracking technology to measure your face, ensuring uniform results. As the laser rolls over the skin, you may feel a sensation of heat and light prickling. Integrated cooling will keep you comfortable throughout.
After the procedure, the treated skin will feel warm for about an hour.
When the laser is finished, we'll apply a soothing medical-grade moisturizer. The second and third day after your treatment, you should see light bronzing in the skin. On day three or four, you will notice microscopic epidermal necrotic debris (MENDs), tiny dark spots that begin to flake and peel. This is normal; do not pick them!
At home, you can use a gentle cleanser and be diligent with sunscreen to protect your new, healthy cells.
You'll see an initial glow within 2 to 5 days as any peeling comes to an end, but the true art of the HALO is in its longevity. Because it stimulates deep collagen, your skin will continue to improve in tone and texture over the following weeks, leading to optimal results.
The cost of Sciton HALO varies based on the treatment area (face, neck, or chest) and the intensity required to meet your goals. During your consultation, we'll give you a full price breakdown, so you know exactly what you're going to pay before you schedule your treatment.
