The highest level of treatment
Photorejuvenation using the IPL Harmony XL Pro from Alma Lasers is a minimum risk therapy using pulsed light, with no side effects, but with spectacular rejuvenating results. For your complexion, it’s like a burst of energy for the lazy cells that are no longer producing the amount of elastin and collagen that is necessary for an enviable complexion.
The treatment with IPL Harmony XL Pro from Alma Lasers treats pigmented spots (brown spots on your face) and superficial blood vessels (superficial veins, the medical designation of which is vascular lesions) and more. These problems are resolved efficiently using this medical equipment approved by the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration).
Purpose of the treatment
The Dye-VL module of the Harmony XL PRO laser platform is a state-of-the-art system using Advanced Fluorescent Technology (an advanced form of the intense pulsed light – IPL – technology patented by Alma Lasers). This is the first truly efficient method of eliminating vascular lesions. In addition, it’s important to know that a treatment for couperose or rosacea is more efficient than any skincare program based on creams.
What it treats:
Depigmentation (sun spots, age spots)
Broken capillaries at the level of the face
Rosacea
Couperose
Diffuse spots
Melasma
Freckles
Enlarged pores

How is a procedure performed?
The stages of the treatment procedure for pigmented lesions and vascular lesions are carried out as follows:
1. the area that is going to be treated is cleaned and disinfected
2. the dermatologist sets the intensity that is going to be used during the procedure. Before the procedure, if the physician considers it necessary, he/she can perform a test to see how the skin reacts. For the first procedure, lower intensities will be used, after which the intensity will be modified.
3. the treatment is performed ”in motion” on the flat areas and the static module can be used on areas with depressions. Safety goggles shall be worn for the entire duration of the treatment.
4. The procedure’s duration will differ depending on the indication. In the end, a cream with a protection factor will be applied in order to avoid the risk of the appearance of further hyperpigmentation (brown spots occurring because of the sun)
What should I expect after this treatment?
After the treatment, the area can become red and feel like you’ve been in the sun on a hot day, but it will fade in a few hours (24 hours at most). The spots will change color and become darker – this is a desirable reaction– and form scabs that will fall off within 2 weeks. In the case of vascular lesions (superficial veins), the area may become red – this is also a desirable reaction.
Throughout the treatment, cream with an SPF of 50 will be used. The procedure for pigmented spots is not recommended in the summer.
