Laser resurfacing near Northbrook: HALO vs. TETRA—our simple guide
If you’re noticing sun spots, fine lines, or uneven texture, laser resurfacing can be a game changer. At Trio Med Spa, we use two standout options: HALO (a hybrid fractional laser) and TETRA CO2 (including COOLPEEL). We’ll help you pick based on your skin, your timeline, and how much downtime you can spare.
How we match the laser to your goals
- HALO: Great when you want visible improvement with a gentler feel. Hybrid wavelengths target tone and texture with efficient recovery.
- TETRA CO2: Our choice for deeper wrinkles and etched-in texture. It reshapes the skin’s surface with controlled precision and minimal downtime for a CO2 device.
Expect softer, smoother skin within 1–2 weeks and continued collagen gains over the next few months. We can fine-tune energy, density, and passes so results fit your life.
Smart combos we love
For discoloration and sun damage, we often pair laser resurfacing with a BBL photofacial. Want a lighter refresh? COOLPEEL delivers a subtle polish with little to no downtime. These combinations deliver impressive clarity and glow without surgery.
