Laser Treatments
Laser Hair Reduction
Alma’s patented SHR technology delivers low-fluence and high-frequency laser energy, so that tissue heating is gradual and therefore safer, even for darker, melanin rich skin.The epidermis is further protected by the applicators’ cooled tip. The SHR process uses an “in-motion” technique, where the practitioner glides the laser applicator over the patients’ skin, distributing the laser energy uniformly over the treatment area for consistent coverage with superior results and reduced burn risk. The laser transforms into thermal energy, which in turn terminates hair growth by destroying surrounding stem cells. Typically patients need 6 sessions spaced out every 4-6 weeks and then one maintenance treatment every 3-6 months thereafter. This treatment is best done when the patient isn’t in the sun for long periods of time or if sun exposure can be avoided before and after the treatment.

Skin Rejuvenation (Brown Pigment Reduction)
Alma Harmony™ XL provides several options to target pigment concerns including Dye-VL, ClearLift® and Erbium®/iPixel. Each handpiece offers a unique modality to specifically target indivudual pigment concerns. Dye-VL, ClearLift® and Erbium®/iPixel can be used individually or as an in depth combination treatment. ClearLift® is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to address pigmentation issues, offering a gentle and effective solution for spot treatments. Utilizing advanced laser technology, this targets and breaks down pigmented areas without damaging the surrounding skin. This treatment is suitable for various skin types and aims to improve skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of dark spots, and rejuvenate the skin with minimal downtime. Ideal for those seeking a quick, effective solution for pigmentation concerns, this provides noticeable results with a comfortable treatment experience. Typically patients need 6 sessions every 3-4 weeks and then maintenance thereafter, one treatment every 4-6 months. Spot treatments can also be done which may require fewer treatments. This treatment can be done any time of the year including during the summer, because it is non-ablative.
Skin Tightening (ClearLift®)
The Alma ClearLift® is a laser treatment that uses a Q-switched laser to stimulate the skin's collagen production, which can help tighten and rejuvenate the skin. The laser penetrates the skin to the dermis, creating a controlled wound that triggers the body's natural healing process. This process stimulates collagen growth and tissue tightening, which can improve skin tone, texture, and overall appearance. Typically patients need 6 sessions every 3-4 weeks and then maintenance thereafter, one treatment every 4-6 months for optimal results. This treatment can be done any time of the year including during the summer, because it is non-ablative.
Skin Resurfacing (Erbium®)
The Alma Harmony™ Erbium laser is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses light energy to improve skin tone and texture, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, acne scars, and sun damage, and promote collagen production. The laser can be used on the face, neck, chest, arms, and hands. Skin resurfacing treatments can help reduce the signs of aging, and environmental factors that cause wrinkles, scars, age spots, and discoloration. Resurfacing uses the laser to remove the outer layer of skin, called the epidermis, while also heating the underlying skin, called the dermis. This process can stimulate collagen production, resulting in smoother and firmer skin as the treated area heals.
Vein Removal
Alma Harmony's long pulse treatment uses a Cooled Long Pulsed Nd:YAG 1064nm applicator to emit an infrared laser beam into abnormal blood vessels to treat vascular lesions and conditions like spider veins. Typically patients need 6 sessions every 6 weeks and then maintenance thereafter, one treatment every 3 months. This treatment is best done when the patient isn’t in the sun for long periods of time or if sun exposure can be avoided before and after the treatment.
Acne Treatment
Acne laser treatment is a non-invasive procedure that uses focused laser light to treat and reduce acne. This treatment targets the bacteria responsible for acne, reduces inflammation, and promotes healing of the skin. It can also help minimize acne scars by stimulating collagen production and resurfacing the skin. Suitable for various skin types, acne laser treatments offer a quick and effective solution with minimal downtime, making them an ideal choice for individuals seeking to improve their skin's clarity and texture. Results can vary, and multiple sessions might be necessary for optimal outcomes.
Tattoo Removal
The Alma Harmony™ XL laser tattoo removal treatment uses a Q-Switched laser to target ink particles in tattoos with short pulses of light energy. The laser's high-intensity beams create a shock wave that shatters the ink into tiny pieces, which the body's lymphatic system then flushes away over time. The Alma Harmony™ XL laser has multiple wavelengths, allowing it to target different ink colors.Typically patients need 8-12 sessions every 6 weeks. The number of sessions will depend on how well the ink lightens. This treatment is best done when the patient isn’t in the sun for long periods of time or if sun exposure can be avoided before and after the treatment.
Nail Fungus Treatment
Nail fungus is a difficult-to-treat fungal infection of the finger or toe nails. With traditional treatments such as medications and topical creams showing only limited success, Alma Laser technology opens up new possibilities with a selection of clinically proven laser and light-based solutions. These breakthrough treatments target the source of the infection beneath the nail plate, clearing nail fungus within a few short treatment sessions. Typically patients need 3-5 sessions every 2-4 weeks. This treatment can be done any time of the year including during the summer, because it is non-ablative.

Radiance Package DyeVL/IPL + ClearLift + Erbium
The Radiance Package is a comprehensive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines multiple laser technologies to address a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone. The treatment typically involves three different laser modalities: IPL/DyeVL, ClearLift Skin Tightening, Pixel Skin Resurfacing(Erbium). The Laser 360 program usually consists of a series of 3 treatments over the course of 60 days(Day 1, Day 30 and Day 60). After the initial 3 sessions, patients will continue to maintain their results with a maintenance treatment of one Laser 360 session once a year. This treatment is best done in the fall and winter time when the patient isn’t in the sun for long periods of time.
