Walk into a professional treatment room and you will find a familiar set of technologies: radiofrequency, microcurrent, ultrasonic, LED light. Here is what each category actually does, in plain language.
Radiofrequency (RF)
RF creates a gentle, controlled warmth in the skin. It is the technology category professionals reach for when the goal is the look of firmer, smoother skin. In Halo, RF runs at a maximum of 7W with three intensity levels.

Microcurrent (EMS)
Microcurrent delivers low-level electrical pulses across the muscles of the face. It is the category associated with a toned, lifted look.
Compare the two categories in microcurrent vs radiofrequency.
Ultrasonic
Ultrasonic micro-vibrations help treatment ingredients travel deeper than hand application alone. This is why Halo pairs with Lumis Activating Treatment Gel: the device creates the pathway, the gel delivers five targeted actives.
LED light therapy
Different wavelengths of light reach the skin at different depths. Halo carries three: green 520nm for the look of calm, even tone; red 650nm, the classic wavelength for the look of firmer, renewed skin; and purple 700nm for balanced, comprehensive care.
Sonic vibration
Calibrated micro-vibrations support circulation and give the treatment its finishing pass.
Why one device instead of five?
Owning each of these technologies separately would mean five devices and five price tags. Halo brings the five categories into a single instrument, engineered around one treatment gel. Results vary. Halo is a cosmetic device intended for home use.
Before starting, review which treatment gel to use and the Halo treatment instructions.
