What is HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser Treatment?
HALO® is the world’s first hybrid fractional laser, combining two wavelengths within a single treatment to target the skin at different depths. One wavelength is non-ablative, delivering energy deep into the skin to stimulate collagen production, while the second is ablative, resurfacing the skin’s surface for improved tone and texture.
This dual-wavelength technology allows HALO® to address underlying skin structure and visible surface concerns simultaneously. At Ritual in Washington, DC, HALO® is incorporated into a personalized treatment plan designed to deliver meaningful, long-term improvements in overall skin quality.
