THE HARMONY® LASER SYSTEM

The Harmony® Laser System is a multipurpose treatment platform which treats a number of common conditions.

 

The Pixel® laser resurfaces the skin in a safe effective way with reduced downtime on conventional skin resurfacing techniques. It can treat aging skin, acne scarring, and sun damaged skin to give a fresher and smoother appearance after just 4 treatments. Patients will experience subtle warmth as the laser pulses and a mild sunburn sensation is normal afterwards with redness lasting a couple of days. Cool air is delivered during the treatment to minimise any discomfort.

 

The Harmony® AFT IPL system improves pigmented skin, discoloration, sun damaged skin, and age spots on many areas including the hands, face, neck and shoulders. The light will target the pigment and gradually reduce the dark appearance. Texture is also improved by stimulating collagen and elastin thereby creating a smoother, firmer complexion. The treatment is comfortable with no downtime. A slight redness and feeling of warmth may be experienced. In most cases a course of treatments is usually required.

 

Acne is treated with light pulses which destroy bacteria on the skin reducing inflammation. It is a safe and comfortable treatment with minimal downtime. It gives remission from acne and most patients will achieve reduction in severity and frequency in outbreaks after a course of 10 treatments twice weekly.

 

The Harmony® laser also treat vascular lesions, it destroys blood vessels by sending pulses of light into the vessel to shrink it. The areas that can be treated are facial thread veins, rocasea, red spots and flushed skin. Treatment is recommended every 3 weeks. Unsightly leg veins can also be treated using the ND Yag1064 which shrinks the vessels by destroying them with heat. Reduction usually occurs after a course of 3-5 treatments.
