What Is HALO Tribrid Laser?


HALO Tribrid is an advanced laser treatment that combines three independently controlled wavelengths in a single session to target multiple layers of the skin simultaneously.

Unlike traditional resurfacing treatments that focus solely on either superficial or deep skin concerns, HALO Tribrid offers customized energy delivery throughout both the epidermis and dermis. This flexibility makes it suitable for a variety of skin goals.

The three wavelengths include:

  • 2940 nm Er:YAG: Controlled superficial resurfacing to refine texture and accelerate epidermal renewal.
  • 1927 nm: Non-ablative wavelength that targets pigmentation, sun damage, and uneven tone.
  • 1470 nm: Deeper dermal heating to stimulate collagen remodeling and long-term skin quality improvement.

Laser resurfacing and fractional photothermolysis can effectively reduce signs of aging by creating controlled injuries to the skin that help stimulate collagen production.

HALO Tribrid vs. Other Laser Options

Your provider will help determine the best approach, or combination, for your specific skin type.

Depending on your goals, we may also recommend:

  • Standard HALO® for hybrid resurfacing with established protocols
  • MOXI® for lighter, preventative treatments with minimal downtime
  • Er:YAG resurfacing for more aggressive texture correction
  • Broadband light or injectable treatments for complementary rejuvenation

Other exceptional benefits include the following:

  • Improved skin tone and clarity
  • Smoother texture and refined pores
  • Reduction in sun damage and visible pigmentation
  • Stimulation of collagen for firmer, healthier-looking skin
  • Customizable treatment depth and downtime
  • One-session approach addressing multiple concerns

HALO Tribrid FAQ

How many HALO TRIBRID treatments will I need?

Many patients see noticeable improvement after a single HALO TRIBRID session. Depending on your skin concerns, goals, and long-term maintenance plan, your provider may recommend periodic treatments spaced months or years apart to support continued skin health.

How uncomfortable is HALO TRIBRID compared to other laser treatments?

Discomfort varies based on treatment intensity, but most patients describe the sensation as manageable. Topical numbing is used, and built-in cooling helps improve comfort. Your provider will tailor settings to balance results and tolerability.

Can HALO TRIBRID be combined with other aesthetic treatments?

Yes. HALO TRIBRID is often incorporated into a broader treatment plan that may include injectables, neuromodulators, broadband light, or medical-grade skincare. Combination timing is carefully planned to support healing and optimize results.

What areas of the body can be treated with HALO TRIBRID?

In addition to the face, HALO TRIBRID may be used on areas such as the neck, chest, hands, arms, and other regions affected by sun damage or textural concerns. Suitability depends on skin quality and treatment goals.

How long do HALO TRIBRID results last?

Results can be long-lasting, particularly when paired with proper skincare and sun protection. While the treatment stimulates collagen remodeling, natural aging continues. Many patients choose maintenance treatments to preserve and enhance results over time.

When can I wear makeup or resume my skincare routine after treatment?

Makeup is typically resumed once the skin has sufficiently healed, often after several days, depending on treatment intensity. Your provider will guide you on when to safely reintroduce skincare products and cosmetics.

Is HALO TRIBRID safe for patients with a history of melasma or hyperpigmentation?

HALO TRIBRID can be used thoughtfully in patients with pigment concerns, but careful planning is essential. Your provider will evaluate your medical history, skin type, and risk factors to determine the most appropriate settings or alternative treatments when necessary.

What are the risks and possible side effects of HALO TRIBRID?

As with any laser resurfacing treatment, potential side effects may include redness, swelling, temporary darkening of pigment, flaking, prolonged sensitivity, infection, scarring, or changes in pigmentation. Serious complications are uncommon when treatment is appropriately selected and performed under medical oversight. Following post-treatment instructions is crucial to minimizing the risk.
