HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser at Annapolis Aesthetics

Experience real change in your skin quality, from a provider who prioritizes results, safety, and comfort.

Do you love your injectables, but want even better skin?


Over time, many patients notice that while injectables continue to refresh and restore volume, the skin itself doesn’t fully reflect the results they expect. This is often because collagen production has slowed and isn’t being actively stimulated. If you’re noticing: 

  • Uneven skin tone, sun damage, or lingering discoloration

  • Enlarged pores or rough, uneven texture

  • Fine lines that persist despite injectables

  • Acne scarring or visible skin irregularities

  • Skin that looks dull or tired, even when volume has been restored

It may be time to support your skin more comprehensively.

Long-term skincare requires addressing what’s below the surface

Collagen Renewal

As collagen production slows, fine lines and wrinkles become more visible, even with injectables. HALO works beneath the surface to stimulate collagen renewal, creating smoother, firmer-looking skin over time.

Tone Correction

Sun exposure and pigment changes accumulate over years. Each HALO treatment is customized to your skin tone and concerns, targeting discoloration, including sun damage and age spots, at multiple depths for a clearer, more even complexion.

Texture Refinement

HALO goes deeper than surface-level treatments to improve acne scarring and uneven texture resurfaces by delivering controlled heat deeper into the dermis, stimulating more robust collagen production for smoother texture and longer-lasting improvement.

Experience matters, especially with laser treatment


At Annapolis Aesthetics, HALO Hybrid Fractional Laser treatments are guided by 18 years of hands-on laser experience.

Melanie Erb Shushan, a Certified Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, has been working with laser technology since 2007 and has extensive experience across a wide range of advanced laser platforms, including IPL, PDL, Fraxel (Re:Store & Re:Pair), Erbium, CO₂ UltraPulse, Laser Genesis, Alexandrite, Nd:YAG Q-Switch, Ultherapy, Thermage, and more.

This matters because with lasers, how the treatment is performed is just as important as the device itself. Settings, technique, preparation, and aftercare all directly impact both results and comfort.

Patients choose Annapolis Aesthetics because they want advanced treatments like HALO done safely, correctly, and most of all comfortably, by a provider who understands skin at every level.

What to expect with your HALO Hybrid Fractional Laser treatment at Annapolis Aesthetics

Every HALO treatment at Annapolis Aesthetics is carefully planned, customized, and performed with patient comfort, safety, and long-term skin health in mind.

  • Your HALO journey begins with a personalized consultation at Annapolis Aesthetics. All HALO treatments are performed by advanced trained medical provider under closely monitored clinical standards and protocols. Our team works within a framework shaped by nearly two decades of laser experience, ensuring every treatment is approached with the same attention to safety, customization, and patient comfort.

  • Your comfort is planned well before treatment day. You’ll receive a strong, proprietary numbing cream to use at home prior to your appointment, allowing your skin to be well prepared before you arrive. During treatment, settings are carefully customized based on your skin and goals, with optional Pronox (laughing gas) available for additional comfort. From preparation to pacing, every detail is designed to make the HALO treatment feel comfortable even for patients who may feel nervous.


  • After treatment, you’ll go home with clear instructions, a medical-grade post-care kit, and a plan for managing the most uncomfortable part of recovery—when the numbing wears off. Recovery is purposeful and temporary. As your skin heals, collagen production increases, tone improves, and texture becomes smoother over time.

  • HALO® is an advanced laser treatment that combines resurfacing with deep dermal heating to improve tone, texture, and collagen production in a single session.

  • HALO® is used to improve fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scarring, sun damage, age spots, uneven pigmentation, dull skin texture, and overall skin quality.

  • Most HALO® treatments take approximately 60–90 minutes, including preparation time.

  • Most patients experience 5–7 days of visible downtime, including redness, swelling, and flaking as the skin heals and renews.

  • Patient comfort is a priority at Annapolis Aesthetics. We use advanced numbing protocols, thoughtful pacing, and offer optional Pronox (laughing gas) to help make the treatment very manageable. Post-procedure comfort support can also be provided if needed, based on individual patient needs.

  • HALO® treats both the surface and deeper layers of the skin in one session, allowing us to address texture, pigmentation, and collagen loss simultaneously with a more balanced recovery.

  • While treatments like IPL focus primarily on redness and pigment, and other lasers may target a single depth, HALO® uses a hybrid approach to address multiple skin concerns at once.

  • Microneedling can be very effective for texture and scarring. HALO® goes further by adding controlled heat deep within the skin, stimulating more robust collagen production for longer-lasting results.

  • No. HALO® is not a CO₂ laser. CO₂ lasers are often more aggressive and may require longer recovery. HALO® is designed to provide significant improvement with a more manageable downtime for ongoing skin care and maintenance.

  • Many patients see noticeable improvement after one treatment. For long-term skin care, HALO® is often performed once or twice per year, especially during the winter months.

  • Yes. HALO® complements injectables by improving the skin itself, helping Botox and fillers look more natural and refined.

  • Common treatment areas include the face, neck, chest, hands, and select smaller areas such as around the eyes or mouth. Pricing for smaller areas is determined during consultation.

  • HALO® can be customized for many skin types. A complimentary consultation is required to determine if HALO® is appropriate for your skin and goals.

  • The best way to determine if HALO® is right for your skin is through a complimentary consultation, where we review your concerns, skin health, and long-term goals. Schedule your complimentary consultation HERE.
