Challenging age-related skin imperfections including wrinkles, fine lines, photodamage, uneven skin tone and skin laxity can be significantly improved using the Fractional non-ablative Q-Switched 1064 laser, Near Infrared technology, or a combination of both for enhanced results. Each method has been clinically proven to be safe and effective for all skin types (I-VI) as well as for thin and delicate areas of the skin such as the face, neck and décolleté areas. Harmony’s skin remodeling treatments effectively address existing indications while also helping to bolster the skin against future aging.

ClearLift™ with Fractional Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser

It is the first fractional non-ablative Q-Switched laser, allowing practitioners to use the powerful benefits of a high intensity Q-Switched laser for the treatment of skin imperfections associated with aging skin- including thin and delicate areas.

While most laser procedures produce a thermal effect to stimulate collagen renewal, Alma Harmony uses a specially designed fractional Q-Switched laser to achieve a deep mechanical effect, focusing the energy beneath the epidermis. This creates a controlled dermal wound while leaving the epidermis intact. The wound healing process stimulates growth of new collagen as well as contracture and tightening of the tissue.

The treatment is a 'lunchtime procedure' that is virtually painless with no downtime, no need for pre-treatment anesthetic and is safe for all skin types.

The NIR module uses a high power light source in the near infrared spectrum to achieve safe and effective dermal heating, imparting a youthful glow to the skin. The pleasant treatment elevates dermal temperature, generates thermal injury to the tissue which contracts existing fibers, stimulates the formation of new collagen and improves its alignment and thickness.

The high power NIR lamp emits light within the near infrared spectrum to elevate dermal temperature, with peak power at 1300 nm for deep penetration. This mechanism causes micro thermal injury to the tissue which contracts existing fibers, stimulates the formation of new collagen and improves its alignment and thickness.

The procedure yields both short and long term benefits, with immediate skin tightening and glow as well as restructuring of the skin’s architecture, helping to bolster the skin against future aging.

Greater precision for clear-cut results

The appearance of vascular lesions can be significantly reduced by inducing selective photothermolysis of the hemoglobin and oxy-hemoglobin chromophores in the target tissue. This can be achieved using Dye-VL technology, a long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser, or a combination of both for optimal results. Deep leg veins are most effectively treated using the long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser.

Dye-VL Technology

The Dye laser has traditionally been the treatment method of choice for the removal of the appearance of vascular lesions. Alma Harmony’s Dye-VL module offers the first real alternative to this method, offering treatment that is just as effective as the Dye laser, with the safety, versatility and affordability of pulsed light.

So, what is Pigmentation?

Pigment is the color in your skin. When you have too much in one area it is called “hyper-pigmentation”, and the spots appearing on your skin as a result are called “pigmented lesions”. These dark lesions usually result from the over production of melanin, which is the name of the pigment in our skin.

What causes pigmented lesions?

As you go through life and experience hormonal changes, the distribution of color (melanin) in your skin can be affected, leading to the appearance of all kinds of pigmented lesions. These include moles, freckles, age spots, or melasma which is a dark, patchy facial discoloration condition. Most of these spots occur as a result of sun exposure, but also represent damage to our skin due to lifestyle choices, genetics or hormonal causes. The result is uneven, blemished skin tone. The good news? The majority of these blemishes can be removed easily and safely, so that you can enjoy clear and even skin tone.

All-layer targeting of hyperpigmentation- including for dark skin

The appearance of pigmented lesions can be successfully cleared by inducing selective photothermolysis of the melanin chromophore in the target tissue. This can be achieved for all layers of the pigmented lesion, as well as for lesions appearing in dark skin types, using Dye-SR technology, the Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser, or either approach with the addition of Impact technology for significantly enhanced results.

Smooth, balanced skin- with minimal downtime

Uneven skin tone, superficial pigmentation and coarse, uneven skin texture can be dramatically improved using a fractional Er:YAG laser, Near Infrared technology, or either approach with the addition of Impact technology for significantly enhanced results.

iPixel Er:YAG 2940™

The iPixel Er:YAG module provides a highly effective fractional ablative laser skin resurfacing treatment using an Erbium YAG laser at a 2940 nm wavelength. iPixel significantly improves overall skin tone, elasticity and texture, increases moisture content, and reduces superficial pigmentation and pore size. The treatment mechanism of the Er:YAG 2940 laser promotes accelerated re-epithelization allowing for faster healing and tissue regeneration.

Defeating active acne, with lasting results

The new ClearSkin™ with Cooled ER:Glass 1540 Laser w/Vacuum.

ClearSkin is the first technology to combine a non-ablative laser with simultaneous contact cooling and vacuum technology to treat acne vulgaris safely and effectively.

The non-ablative ER:Glass 1540 nm laser deeply penetrates the skin, causing thermal damage to the sebaceous glands, destroying P. acnes bacteria and reducing sebum production, while leaving the epidermis intact. The integrated vacuum mechanism extracts accumulated sebaceous material from the pores, while contact cooling protects the skin, reducing pain and allowing for safer and more effective treatment of the sebaceous glands within the dermis.

The Cooled ER:Glass laser with Vacuum treatment addresses all forms of acne vulgaris including papules, pustules, and nodules, while also achieving a gentle rejuvenating effect, diminishing the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen renewal. The treatment is suitable for all skin types, has no side effects and achieves a smoother complexion with lasting results.

Virtually painless hair removal for all skin types, all-year round

The new Speed AFT™

Harmony’s Speed AFT module achieves highly effective hair removal by delivering light energy at a wavelength range of 700-950 nm for optimal absorption by the melanin within the hair follicle, without damaging the surrounding tissue. Speed AFT is based on Alma’s proprietary Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT™) and Super Hair Removal (SHR™) method.

The Speed AFT module features a large spot size applicator that allows you to quickly treat larger areas and perform more treatment sessions in less time, while offering your patients the fastest and most effective hair removal possible.

Facial Tip AFT™

The unique Facial TIP allows treatment of hard to reach areas, including the ears, nostrils and between the eyebrows.

SHR™

Alma’s Super Hair Removal (SHR) method works by gradually heating the dermis to a temperature that effectively damages the hair follicles and prevents re- growth, while avoiding injury to the surrounding tissue. Rather than exposing the hair follicle to a single high energy pulse, a high repetition rate of short pulses are delivered deep into the dermis, achieving high average power and therapeutically effective heat build-up, damaging hair follicles with virtually no pain felt by the patient.

The sweeping In-motion™ technique used with SHR involves moving the applicator repeatedly over the treatment area, applying energy over a large grid- not just the area of the hair follicle. This ensures full coverage during treatment which significantly improves results.

Parallel contact cooling technology using a cold sapphire tip to cool the skin during treatment, preventing superficial burns and resulting in more comfortable treatment for patients.

SHR has been clinically proven to be the safest method of hair removal for all skin types. The unique heating and energy delivery method avoids trauma to skin with a high melanin count, making it safe and effective for even dark and tanned skin.

Indication: Skin Rejuvenation, acne, acne scars and benign lesions

ClearSkin PRO combines a non-ablative laser with simultaneous contact cooling technology, promoting the development of new tissue while maintaining a high level of safety. With twice the power of previous solutions, ClearSkin PRO applicator delivers up to 3000 mJ (61.2 mJ/Pixel) of non-ablative laser energy per pulse.The non-ablative Er:Glass 1540 nm laser deeply penetrates the skin causing thermal damage, triggering an improved healing response around the coagulated columns while leaving the epidermis intact. The result is new dermis tissue and visibly younger looking skin.
