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?

A few of the benefits of HALO laser skin resurfacing include:
- Minimizes the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles

Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery Reviews
I had such a wonderful experience with Dr. Schierle and his entire team! I couldn’t be happier with my experience and the results are absolute perfection.I’ve had a longstanding relationship with this office, but this was my first time on the other side as a patient, and it gave me an entirely new appreciation for the level of care they provide. From the initial consultation through post-op follow-up, everyone was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional.A special shoutout to Dr. Schierle, Monika and Kendall for being so thorough, patient, and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain everything, answer all my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way.The entire office staff is amazing, and I truly cannot say enough good things about my experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Schierle and his team!
You know the saying, "when you know, you know"? Meet with Dr. Moradian, and you will know he is the only one to trust with your cosmetic needs. From the moment I met the staff at Northwestern Plastic Surgery, I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Moradian is talented, compassionate, and honest. He gave me realistic expectations—which he far exceeded—alongside an incredible bedside manner. He checked in with me multiple times after my procedure and made me feel completely comfortable asking questions every step of the way. I received top-tier care before, during, and after my chin lipo! Bonus: he plays great EDM, which made the in-office procedure such a fun vibe.
I can’t emphasize enough how pleased i am with my breast reduction - it had truly been life changing. From the immediate relief of severe discomfort to use of “bralettes” to better fitting clothing. And Dr. Schierle made it possible with the aide benefit of a great bedside manner. Only regret is that indid not so this sooner!
I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Moradian for my rhinoplasty. From my first consultation, he took the time to listen to my concerns and what I wanted. He was always available to answer my questions before the surgery and after. He checked in on me throughout my recovery. Now I’m 9 months post op, and I’m really happy with my nose and the recovery. Every now and then, I will send Dr. Moradian little life updates with my new nose. He has really helped me a lot throughout this year. He is truly a doctor who will listen and support you throughout the whole process.
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!
