Joule X · HALO TRIBRID™
The glow you've been chasing.
Sciton's next-generation hybrid fractional laser — combining ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to resurface texture, pores, and fine lines with the signature Halo glow.
Overview
What to know before you book.
HALO TRIBRID is Sciton's newest hybrid fractional laser — the evolution of the original HALO. It combines an ablative wavelength (2940 nm) with two non-ablative wavelengths (1470 nm and 1064 nm) to treat the skin's surface AND deeper layers in a single pass.
The result is a treatment that resurfaces texture, softens fine lines, refines pores, and evens tone — while producing the visible 'Halo glow' that clients describe in the days after treatment.
Because it's fractional, HALO delivers meaningful resurfacing with a fraction of the downtime of traditional ablative lasers. Most patients look presentable within a few days.
Benefits
Why patients choose it.

Tribrid technology
Ablative + two non-ablative wavelengths in one treatment.
Short downtime

How It Works
What to expect at Inspire.
Consultation
Skin-type assessment, goals, and a customized treatment depth (mild, moderate, or deeper).
Prep
Sun avoidance for 2–4 weeks. Pause retinoids and exfoliants per instructions.
Before
Topical numbing is applied for ~45–60 minutes. A cool air device is used for comfort during treatment.
During
The HALO handpiece is passed over the treatment area. Most sessions take 30–45 minutes; you'll feel warmth and a prickling sensation.
After
Expect a warm, sunburn-like flush for 12–24 hours, then a bronze/sandpaper texture for 3–5 days as micro-exfoliation occurs.
Results
The 'glow' typically emerges around day 5–7. Full results continue to improve over 6–8 weeks. Many patients see a significant result from a single treatment; a series can deepen results.
Why Inspire
Resurfacing with less recovery.
HALO TRIBRID gives us the resurfacing power of an ablative laser with the recovery profile of a non-ablative one — because it does both in the same pass. Dr. Dalhoumi personally calibrates every treatment to your skin, tone, and how much downtime you can plan around.

FAQ
Common questions.
Expect a warm, sunburn-like flush for 12–24 hours, followed by 3–5 days of bronzing and a fine sandpaper texture as the skin exfoliates. Most patients are camera-ready by day 5–7.
Many patients see substantial results from a single HALO TRIBRID treatment. A series of two treatments can deepen results for deeper texture or scarring concerns.
Yes — many patients do BBL HEROic and HALO TRIBRID in the same visit for tone and texture together. Dr. Dalhoumi will recommend the right combination at consultation.
HALO can be safely tuned for a wide range of skin types, but not all. Dr. Dalhoumi will assess your Fitzpatrick type and adjust the protocol accordingly.
