Er: YAG Laser
Harmony XL Erbium YAG resurfacing laser
The Harmony XL Pro Er:YAG resurfacing laser is a state-of-the-art, multi-technology platform developed by Alma Lasers. It’s one of the most advanced systems in the field of aesthetic medicine, offering a wide range of non-invasive treatments for various skin concerns, from skin rejuvenation to skin resurfacing as well as for the acne and acne scars.
The Harmony XL Pro platform integrates several advanced technologies, allowing practitioners to address a broad spectrum of aesthetic concerns at the same time.
The resurfacing procedure with the Harmony XL Pro uses advanced laser technology to improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, and treat various skin concerns like sun damage, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
The platform offers several resurfacing modalities, including Fractional Erbium YAG Laser and Fractional Radiofrequency (RF), which can be tailored to the patient’s skin type, goals, and the specific issue being addressed.
How It Works:
The Erbium YAG laser emits a precise wavelength of light that targets the water content in the skin. The energy is absorbed by the skin’s surface, causing controlled micro-injuries to the skin, which initiates a healing response.
Fractional Technology: In fractional resurfacing, the laser is broken up into microscopic beams of light that create small treatment zones in the skin. This means that only a fraction of the skin is treated at any given time, leaving the surrounding tissue unaffected. This promotes faster healing and reduces the risk of complications compared to full-surface ablative treatments.
Collagen Stimulation: As the skin heals from these micro-injuries, it produces new collagen and elastin, which improves skin texture, elasticity, and tone. This makes the skin appear firmer, smoother, and more youthful over time.
