Am I a good candidate for Harmony® XL Pro?
Before booking any medical treatment, it’s best to seek the advice of a medical professional. To find out if Harmony XL PRO is right for you, call our office to book your free consultation.
Harmony XL Pro is considered safe for all skin types and is used to treat various skin concerns. It provides an excellent alternative to many surgical or more invasive treatments while delivering outstanding results. However, depending on your specific needs, you might need a customized treatment plan. Our talented medical staff will customize a treatment based on your desired results.
The best patients for this treatment are in good general health, are non-smokers, and have one or more of the following skin issues: early-onset or mild skin laxity on the face or body, lines or wrinkles, colored lesions, acne scars, or tattoos they would like to remove.
Although Harmony XL Pro can provide impressive results, you may need a more invasive treatment if you have moderate to severe skin laxity that droops or hangs. We want you to have the best results possible, and that is why we recommend a consultation before booking.
How many treatments should I get?
One of the best things about Harmony XL Pro is that it allows you to combine several treatments into one session. As a result, fewer sessions are needed to achieve your optimal results.
However, the number of sessions needed will vary based on what services you are receiving, your body, and your treatment goals. Today, call us to book your consultation, and our medical specialists will answer your questions and create an optimal treatment plan.
What is recovery like? Are there any side effects?
The Harmony XL Pro does not require a lengthy recovery period. It’s common with other laser treatments for patients to experience redness or peeling for weeks after treatment. But with the Harmony XL Pro, the treatment is so gentle it can easily fit into your schedule and won’t cause any uncomfortable side effects.
What are the target areas for Harmony® XL Pro?
Harmony XL Pro has been thoroughly studied and is FDA approved for dermatological use. It can be used all over the body and can be used on any skin type and skin tone. Coastal Aesthetics specializes in the following treatments with the Harmony XL Pro laser.
ClearLift
ClearLift is a treatment that uses the Harmony XL PRO laser machine to effectively diminish sun damage and signs of aging on the face, neck, and decollete. Designed by Alma Harmony, the Harmony XL PRO laser uses Advanced Fluorescence Technology to rejuvenate all skin types safely. It works by bypassing the outermost layer of the skin, creating microscopic holes under the skin through short bursts of light. This stimulates collagen production, which leaves your skin more youthful-looking. In addition, ClearLift treatment is so fast, you can schedule your appointment during your lunch break. The treatment avoids damaging the surface of the skin for minimal downtime.
Laser Tattoo Removal
The same laser machine that’s used for ClearLift treatments can also safely and effectively remove unwanted tattoos. Even though tattoos are growing in popularity, about 20% of people with them say they’ve considered tattoo removal for one reason or another. The Harmony XL PRO can eliminate dark and multi-colored tattoos; however, it works best on darker pigments like black and blue ink. The treatment works by vibrating the ink particles trapped within the skin, which breaks them down. Then, as the skin heals, the immune system safely and naturally flushes away these smaller particles. This causes the tattoo to fade and, eventually, disappear. No anesthesia is required for the procedure, but a topical anesthetic can be used, so you stay comfortable during the procedure. Most people describe the treatment as similar to a rubber band being snapped against the skin. Most tattoo removal procedures require several sessions to fully remove the tattoo, and you should follow your post-treatment care instructions from Coastal Aesthetics. Some redness immediately after treatment is normal, but you can return to normal activities after your session if you choose.
DYE-VL Technology for Pigmented Lesions
Pigmented lesions include a variety of skin conditions, like vascular lesions, pigmented spots, port wine stains, and rosacea, among other concerns, that often leave people feeling self-conscious. The Harmony DYE-VL module of the XL PRO uses IN-Motion technology, a unique system that ensures patient comfort throughout treatment while maintaining results. The laser works by safely breaking apart melanin and other pigments in the skin to effectively remove unwanted color. Treatments only take a few minutes, and most clients require a few sessions, about one to two months apart, to see final results.
