Laser Photorejuvenation (Alma Harmony)

Laser treatments on the Alma Harmony platform target the things that make skin look aged or uneven — sun-induced discoloration, broken facial capillaries, dullness and texture. At DermaDerm the doctor selects the right handpiece and settings for your concern, whether that is a full-face photorejuvenation, fading pigmentation, or closing visible spider veins. Most concerns respond best to a short course, with strict sun protection between sessions.

Photorejuvenation and corrective laser treatments at DermaDerm use the Alma Harmony system, a versatile platform that delivers light and laser energy to address pigment, vascular and textural concerns. Depending on the handpiece and settings chosen by the doctor, the energy is absorbed by brown pigment to break down sun spots and uneven tone, by the haemoglobin in tiny blood vessels to collapse facial spider veins and redness, or used to stimulate collagen for a general rejuvenating effect that improves dullness and fine texture. At the appointment the skin is cleansed and protective eyewear is worn; a cooling or topical comfort measure may be used. Treatment of the full face takes around thirty to forty-five minutes, while targeted work on a specific vessel, scar or patch of pigmentation is quicker. Afterwards the skin may look flushed, and treated pigment can darken briefly before flaking away over the following days; vascular lesions may fade immediately or over a couple of weeks. Because these concerns usually improve progressively, a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart often gives the best, most even result, and the clinic can also use the laser to soften scars. Strict daily sun protection is essential during and after a course, as recent tanning increases the risk of side effects. The treatment suits adults troubled by sun damage, broken capillaries, redness, mild scarring or generally tired-looking skin; suitability for your skin tone and the right settings are confirmed by the doctor, and laser is avoided over recently tanned skin and in pregnancy.
