What Is HALO Laser Skin Resurfacing?
When you were younger, you never had to worry about your skin's radiance and health. Over the years, age, sun damage, and other factors can all take their toll on your skin, leaving your complexion dull and lifeless. HALO skin resurfacing at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery is a nonsurgical aesthetic procedure that utilizes pulsating beams of energy to eliminate damaged skin cells for a brighter appearance. The treatment is used for addressing facial lines and wrinkles and for minimizing skin blemishes, including pigmentation, acne scars, and more. Sometimes known as a laser peel, HALO fractional skin resurfacing is considered an effective treatment for patients desiring clearer, softer, youthful-looking skin. Unlike past laser treatments that could only target the skin's surface, HALO's ablative and nonablative lasers address both the top and middle layers, which is where sun damage and signs of aging are typically found. Consult our skilled aesthetic providers in Chicago, IL to learn more about the HALO laser system from Sciton® and how this cutting-edge procedure can restore your skin's glow.
How Are HALO Treatments Performed?
Before starting your HALO procedure, we'll apply a desensitizing cream to your skin and give you protective goggles for your eyes. After allowing it to take effect, we'll glide the HALO laser handpiece over the treatment area. The handpiece emits both ablative and nonablative laser energy to treat multiple skin depths at the same time. After finishing, we can apply a cooling compress to soothe your skin. There is little to no downtime associated with HALO laser skin resurfacing, but you will need to protect your skin from sunlight and harsh products while it heals.
What Are the Benefits of HALO Skin Resurfacing?

Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Simon Moradian is amazing! I had been considering chin liposuction for several years, but I am so happy that I finally went in for a consultation. Dr. Moradian and his team made me feel completely at ease, and they very professionally and kindly answered all my questions. I left the consultation ready to book the procedure. The procedure itself was a breeze, it took maybe an hour and half and we talked and listened to music the entire time. I left with minimal bruising and clear results day 1. The results just keep getting better, thank you Dr. Moradian!
Dr. Moradian is a caring and conscientious surgeon with world class results and Chicago is lucky to have him. Would recommend him to anybody
I had such an amazing experience with Dr. Simon Moradian at NSPS. From my first consultation, he was so warm, informative, and thoughtful, and I immediately felt comfortable with him. After talking to him, I pretty much knew right away that he was who I wanted to choose.Something he said that really stuck with me was that he doesn’t take the same approach with every nose, he looks at the individual person and tailors everything to their face and what they want. He listened to me while also being really thoughtful about what would look natural and suit me best.My results are honestly better than I imagined. My nose still looks like me, just better, which is exactly what I wanted. He is incredibly talented and the craftsmanship of his work really shows, but he also genuinely cares about his patients and is very communicative throughout the whole process.It’s scary trusting someone to change something so central to your face, and I’m just so grateful I chose him. I truly couldn’t be happier with my results and would recommend him to anyone considering rhinoplasty.
I chose Dr. Moradian for my abdominal liposuction, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. From my very first consultation, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Moradian took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answer every question I had, and make sure I felt confident and informed every step of the way. His professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care for his patients immediately stood out.The procedure itself went incredibly smoothly, and throughout my recovery, Dr. Moradian and his team were consistently supportive, attentive, and reassuring. Every post-op appointment made me feel like I was in the best hands. He is incredibly detail-oriented and truly strives for the best possible outcome for each patient.Most importantly, I am beyond thrilled with my results. They exceeded my expectations and have given me so much more confidence. It’s clear that Dr. Moradian takes great pride in his work, and it absolutely shows in the quality of his results.If you’re considering any cosmetic procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Moradian. His expertise, compassion, attention to detail, and exceptional team make the entire experience outstanding. I am so grateful I trusted him with my procedure and would recommend him without hesitation.
I had such a pleasant experience with Dr. Simon and the whole team! He’s very knowledgeable, kind, and meticulous. He educated me on why I should or shouldn’t do certain procedures (example - I don’t love my neck but it’s due to my tongue placement and there’s no surgical procedure that can be done. I did joke that we should just remove my tongue). He was realistic and answered all my questions. I also had to text him a question and he answered while on vacation and was incredibly responsive and reassuring.Everything looks great and I’m so happy I went with Dr. Simon. Highly recommend.
