What Are the Best Fall Laser Treatments?
When it comes to reducing scars and addressing an uneven skin tone and texture, laser skin resurfacing is often the most effective technique to achieve beautiful results in a way that wouldn’t be possible with topical products or other at-home treatments. Fall is “Laser Season”—the time of year when many patients take advantage of shorter days with less sunlight and cooler weather to have energy-based treatments. Laser treatments make the skin more sensitive to sunlight and more likely to develop hyperpigmentation due to sun exposure, so patients are encouraged to limit sun exposure before and after these treatments. The cooler and darker months of the year make it much easier to avoid sun exposure because we spend more time indoors or bundled up in heavier clothes, don’t engage in outdoor activities as much, and sun exposure isn’t as intense. Furthermore, you can enhance the appearance of your skin in time for the upcoming holiday season, while undoing damage sustained during the summer. Here is the best laser treatments for fall that our Newtown, PA-based patients should know about, along with a light-based option.
HALO™ Laser Resurfacing
HALO™ laser resurfacing uses a fractional laser, meaning that the light it produces to penetrate the skin is divided up into a grid pattern. This results in a matching grid of tiny columns made in this skin, each leaving some of the surrounding skin intact. This technique speeds up the healing process so that there is less downtime compared to ablative laser treatments, which fully remove the outermost layer of the skin. This laser also remodels the existing collagen in the skin and stimulates increased collagen growth for a smoother, plumper look.
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
IPL is not a laser, although many people confuse the two treatments. It stands for “intense pulsed light,” and it uses multiple wavelengths to target similar imperfections as are treated with laser skin resurfacing. IPL, however, is a gentler option that gives off multiple pulses of light instead of a concentrated beam. This approach is ideal for reducing brown spots, vascular lesions, and other pigmentation irregularities—all of which can be attributed to sun damage.

HALO Laser vs. BBL
You know what your skin needs to an extent- but most of us don’t know what procedures we need for our skin. Here is your guide to laser treatments at the Well Lounge, to help you decide which one is the match for you.
HALO
The world’s first Hybrid Fractional Laser (HFL), is revolutionizing resurfacing. HALO deep resurfacing delivers non-ablative and ablative wavelengths, giving patients results they love without the discomfort or downtime they expect. What this means is, there is one laser to treat the upper layers of the skin’s surface, while another laser goes deeper under the skin’s layers.
WHAT DOES HALO TREAT?
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Sun damage/dyschromia
- Skin resurfacing
- Scar revision (including acne scars)
- Acne scar removal treatment
- Signs of aging
- Pigmented lesions
- Improves appearance of enlarged pores

BBL (Broad Band Light)
BBL Forever Bare: Provides a treatment that is safe, fast, efficacious, and comfortable. The motion BBL technology allows for extremely even heating of hair follicles and minimizes missed areas that occur with traditional hair removal devices.
BBL Forever Clear: This laser a cutting-edge acne treatment that uses the power of light to comfortably and effectively clear acne without creams or medicine. This treatment delivers light energy deep into your skin to stimulate and regenerate your skin cells, leaving you with clear, healthy, radiant skin.
BBL Corrective: BBL is the world’s most powerful IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device on the market. It sets new standards in treating skin conditions associated with aging, active life-styles, and sun damage.
BBL Skintyte: As we age, skin loses its youthful firmness and cushion. Especially around the jawline and neck, it can add years to your appearance. And while no one escapes the forces of aging and gravity, SkinTyte can defend against them.

Am I a candidate for HALO™ laser skin revitalization?
Men and women who are interested in correcting visible signs of aging, as well as improving the overall quality of their skin, should consider this amazing treatment. During your consultation, we will assess the cosmetic concerns you are experiencing, as well as discuss your goals in mind for this treatment. From there, we will determine if HALO™ laser treatments are the right choice for you.
Pre HALO™ Treatment
- No sun exposure for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment
- Discontinue use of any retinols & retinoids 2 days prior to treatment
- No Accutane for at least 6 months
- Avoid unnecessary that could increase photo-sensitivity (antibiotics are the most common)
- If you have an active cold sore, you must reschedule your appointment
- Please arrive at your appointment with clean, make-up free skin
- When possible, please apply the provided topical numbing cream 30 minutes prior to our appointment time
Post HALO™ Care
After your HALO™ treatment, it is normal and expected for your skin to feel hot and inflamed, usually increasing throughout the first day. Swelling is common and expected, especially one-day post-treatment. You will begin to notice rough dark brown dots coming to the surface of the skin called MENDS (Microscopic Epidermal Necrotic Debris). These areas contain dead skin cells and pigment rising to the surface and sloughing off. While the MENDS are healing, your skin may feel like sandpaper and may be itchy. The whole process takes 5-7 days to heal. Here are a few post-care instructions-
- DO NOT exfoliate or scratch/pick off MENDS as doing so may cause scarring, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and infection
- A cold compress may be used as needed
- No hot showers or exercising for the first 48 hours
- No makeup for 24 hours
- Use only aftercare products that are recommended by your practitioner
- ALWAYS wear SPF
- Avoid sun exposure at least two weeks post-treatment
- If you use Retinol or Hydroquinone, you may resume use after 2 weeks, unless directed otherwise
