All Skin Types, even Tanned Skin
How The 3D Technology Works
Each wavelength has its own advantages targeting different tissue depths within the hair follicle thus increasing treatment efficiency. The Soprano Titanium and Platinum feature Super Hair Removal (SHR) technology. This is an In-Motion™ technology that gradually accumulates the required total energy with a low fluence and high repletion rate. This ensures better coverage of the treatment area, reduces adverse events associated with traditional hair removal, and reduces patient discomfort. By moving the applicator repeatedly over the treatment area, like a paintbrush, SHR gradually heats the dermis to a temperature that damages the hair follicles whilst not damaging the surrounding tissue for permanent hair reduction.
Alexandrite 755nm – Good at targeting fine, lighter hair. Targets the bulge (the most superficial target) of the hair follicle and has the highest absorption in melanin of the three wavelengths.
Diode 810nm - Good at targeting both coarse and fine hair. Targets the bulge and bulb of the hair follicle.
Nd:YAG 1064nm – Good at targeting coarse, deep hair. Targets the bulb (the deepest target) of the hair follicle and the dermal papilla which provides the blood supply to the follicle.
Hair Removal, Remastered. Now, Even Faster.
To effectively reduce hair growth, the hair stem cells need to be permanently impaired
Hair stem cells are in three main places: the hair matrix at the side of the shaft, the bulge, and the papilla
The aim of laser hair reduction is cell necrosis (the premature death of cells) of these stem cells
To increase the effectiveness of laser hair reduction, the blood supply to the hair from the dermal papilla is also targeted and inhibited
When the laser light contacts the melanin, the light energy transforms into heat energy. This heat causes stem cell necrosis and damages the dermal papilla
With Alma's revolutionary technology, the special edition of Soprano Titanium leverages the benefits of three combined wavelengths, to take the concept of speed to a whole new level. This game-changing platform enables you to treat your patients in shorter sessions, leaving them delighted with the results, while giving your practice a competitive edge

Skin Remodeling
Challenging age-related skin imperfections including wrinkles, fine lines, photodamage, uneven skin tone and skin laxity can be significantly improved using the Fractional non-ablative Q-Switched 1064 laser, Near Infrared technology, or a combination of both for enhanced results. Each method has been clinically proven to be safe and effective for all skin types (I-VI) as well as for thin and delicate areas of the skin such as the face, neck and décolleté areas. Harmony’s skin remodeling treatments effectively address existing indications while also helping to bolster the skin against future aging.

Skin Lifting
ClearLift™ with Fractional Q-Switched Nd: YAG Laser
It is the first fractional non-ablative Q-Switched laser, allowing practitioners to use the powerful benefits of a high intensity Q-Switched laser for the treatment of skin imperfections associated with aging skin- including thin and delicate areas.
While most laser procedures produce a thermal effect to stimulate collagen renewal, Alma Harmony uses a specially designed fractional Q-Switched laser to achieve a deep mechanical effect, focusing the energy beneath the epidermis. This creates a controlled dermal wound while leaving the epidermis intact. The wound healing process stimulates growth of new collagen as well as contracture and tightening of the tissue.
The treatment is a 'lunchtime procedure' that is virtually painless with no downtime, no need for pre-treatment anesthetic and is safe for all skin types.

Skin Tightening
The NIR module uses a high power light source in the near infrared spectrum to achieve safe and effective dermal heating, imparting a youthful glow to the skin. The pleasant treatment elevates dermal temperature, generates thermal injury to the tissue which contracts existing fibers, stimulates the formation of new collagen and improves its alignment and thickness.
The high power NIR lamp emits light within the near infrared spectrum to elevate dermal temperature, with peak power at 1300 nm for deep penetration. This mechanism causes micro thermal injury to the tissue which contracts existing fibers, stimulates the formation of new collagen and improves its alignment and thickness.
The procedure yields both short and long term benefits, with immediate skin tightening and glow as well as restructuring of the skin’s architecture, helping to bolster the skin against future aging.

Vascular Lesions
Greater precision for clear-cut results
The appearance of vascular lesions can be significantly reduced by inducing selective photothermolysis of the hemoglobin and oxy-hemoglobin chromophores in the target tissue. This can be achieved using Dye-VL technology, a long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser, or a combination of both for optimal results. Deep leg veins are most effectively treated using the long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser.
Dye-VL Technology
The Dye laser has traditionally been the treatment method of choice for the removal of the appearance of vascular lesions. Alma Harmony’s Dye-VL module offers the first real alternative to this method, offering treatment that is just as effective as the Dye laser, with the safety, versatility and affordability of pulsed light.

Pigmented Lesions
So, what is Pigmentation?
Pigment is the color in your skin. When you have too much in one area it is called “hyper-pigmentation”, and the spots appearing on your skin as a result are called “pigmented lesions”. These dark lesions usually result from the over production of melanin, which is the name of the pigment in our skin.
What causes pigmented lesions?
As you go through life and experience hormonal changes, the distribution of color (melanin) in your skin can be affected, leading to the appearance of all kinds of pigmented lesions. These include moles, freckles, age spots, or melasma which is a dark, patchy facial discoloration condition. Most of these spots occur as a result of sun exposure, but also represent damage to our skin due to lifestyle choices, genetics or hormonal causes. The result is uneven, blemished skin tone. The good news? The majority of these blemishes can be removed easily and safely, so that you can enjoy clear and even skin tone.
All-layer targeting of hyperpigmentation- including for dark skin
The appearance of pigmented lesions can be successfully cleared by inducing selective photothermolysis of the melanin chromophore in the target tissue. This can be achieved for all layers of the pigmented lesion, as well as for lesions appearing in dark skin types, using Dye-SR technology, the Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser, or either approach with the addition of Impact technology for significantly enhanced results.

Tone & Texture
Smooth, balanced skin- with minimal downtime
Uneven skin tone, superficial pigmentation and coarse, uneven skin texture can be dramatically improved using a fractional Er:YAG laser, Near Infrared technology, or either approach with the addition of Impact technology for significantly enhanced results.
iPixel Er:YAG 2940™
The iPixel Er:YAG module provides a highly effective fractional ablative laser skin resurfacing treatment using an Erbium YAG laser at a 2940 nm wavelength. iPixel significantly improves overall skin tone, elasticity and texture, increases moisture content, and reduces superficial pigmentation and pore size. The treatment mechanism of the Er:YAG 2940 laser promotes accelerated re-epithelization allowing for faster healing and tissue regeneration.

Acne
Defeating active acne, with lasting results
The new ClearSkin™ with Cooled ER:Glass 1540 Laser w/Vacuum.
ClearSkin is the first technology to combine a non-ablative laser with simultaneous contact cooling and vacuum technology to treat acne vulgaris safely and effectively.
The non-ablative ER:Glass 1540 nm laser deeply penetrates the skin, causing thermal damage to the sebaceous glands, destroying P. acnes bacteria and reducing sebum production, while leaving the epidermis intact. The integrated vacuum mechanism extracts accumulated sebaceous material from the pores, while contact cooling protects the skin, reducing pain and allowing for safer and more effective treatment of the sebaceous glands within the dermis.
The Cooled ER:Glass laser with Vacuum treatment addresses all forms of acne vulgaris including papules, pustules, and nodules, while also achieving a gentle rejuvenating effect, diminishing the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen renewal. The treatment is suitable for all skin types, has no side effects and achieves a smoother complexion with lasting results.

Laser Hair Removal
Virtually painless hair removal for all skin types, all-year round
The new Speed AFT™
Harmony’s Speed AFT module achieves highly effective hair removal by delivering light energy at a wavelength range of 700-950 nm for optimal absorption by the melanin within the hair follicle, without damaging the surrounding tissue. Speed AFT is based on Alma’s proprietary Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT™) and Super Hair Removal (SHR™) method.
The Speed AFT module features a large spot size applicator that allows you to quickly treat larger areas and perform more treatment sessions in less time, while offering your patients the fastest and most effective hair removal possible.
Facial Tip AFT™
The unique Facial TIP allows treatment of hard to reach areas, including the ears, nostrils and between the eyebrows.
SHR™
Alma’s Super Hair Removal (SHR) method works by gradually heating the dermis to a temperature that effectively damages the hair follicles and prevents re- growth, while avoiding injury to the surrounding tissue. Rather than exposing the hair follicle to a single high energy pulse, a high repetition rate of short pulses are delivered deep into the dermis, achieving high average power and therapeutically effective heat build-up, damaging hair follicles with virtually no pain felt by the patient.
The sweeping In-motion™ technique used with SHR involves moving the applicator repeatedly over the treatment area, applying energy over a large grid- not just the area of the hair follicle. This ensures full coverage during treatment which significantly improves results.
Parallel contact cooling technology using a cold sapphire tip to cool the skin during treatment, preventing superficial burns and resulting in more comfortable treatment for patients.
SHR has been clinically proven to be the safest method of hair removal for all skin types. The unique heating and energy delivery method avoids trauma to skin with a high melanin count, making it safe and effective for even dark and tanned skin.

Skin Rejuvenation
Indication: Skin Rejuvenation, acne, acne scars and benign lesions
ClearSkin PRO combines a non-ablative laser with simultaneous contact cooling technology, promoting the development of new tissue while maintaining a high level of safety. With twice the power of previous solutions, ClearSkin PRO applicator delivers up to 3000 mJ (61.2 mJ/Pixel) of non-ablative laser energy per pulse.The non-ablative Er:Glass 1540 nm laser deeply penetrates the skin causing thermal damage, triggering an improved healing response around the coagulated columns while leaving the epidermis intact. The result is new dermis tissue and visibly younger looking skin.

How to remove a tattoo successfully with medical lasers
Trying to figure out how to remove a tattoo? Unwanted dark and multi-colored tattoos can be safely and effectively eliminated with Alma’s variety of tattoo removal treatments. These are clinically proven laser treatments which use a various laser wavelengths that target different ink colors. High-intensity light beams create a photo acoustic shock wave that breaks up the ink particles in the tattoo. The result after a number of sessions reveals clear, ink-free skin with minimal risk of scarring or hypo-pigmentation.
Successful multi-color tattoo removal requires a high powered laser that can deliver enough energy within the absorption spectrum of a wide range of colors. The high power Q-Switched Nd:YAG 1064nm laser is ideal for treating darker ink colors (black, blue and green), while the 532nm wavelength is effective for brighter ink colors (red, orange and yellow). The treatment mechanically breaks down ink particles without causing thermal damage. In time, the body’s lymphatic system disposes of the ink fragments. This natural healing process causes the tattoo to fade with minimal risk of scarring or discoloration.
What Experts Are Saying
“Treating patients with acne vulgaris using the unique Er:Glass 1540 laser supported with vacuum and cooling, proved to be effective - showing significant improvement with no side effects.”
— PROF. MOSHE LAPIDOTH, RABIN MEDICAL CENTER, ISRAEL
“Based on my histology analysis, it is evident that the epidermis is in large proportions intact but there is clearly visible damage in the sun damaged mid-upper dermis associated with collagen disruption and disintegration. The ClearLift Q-Switched fractional laser is a very promising modality that enables non-ablative collagen injury and remodeling underneath a mostly intact epidermis.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No it is not painful. The ClearLift laser creates tiny heat points in the dermis and does not cause damage to the outer layer of the epidermis.
-
Usually there is no downtime following the ClearLift laser treatment and it is considered a true “lunchtime procedure”.
-
The NIR face applicator using the near infra-red light is a great skin tightening treatment using mineral oil giving an amazing lift or “Cinderella effect” which is great before an evening event.
-
Yes, combined treatments are highly recommended. It consists of 2 options: various technologies combinations available on the Harmony system or as well as combining laser treatments with fillers such as hyaluronic acid.
-
This varies, on average 4-6 sessions and then maintenance as necessary.
-
There may be some improvement from the first session, but after 3-4 sessions there should be noticeable improvement.
-
Yes, our laser treats superficial vascular lesions such as varicose veins, spider veins etc. anywhere on the body and face.
-
That depends on the size, age and location of the tattoo. Some large tattoos are so big they can’t be covered in one session, thus requiring more appointments. Also, older tattoos are harder to remove as over time the pigment goes deeper within the skin. Keep in mind intervals of 6-8 weeks between sessions are mandatory therefor an 8 session process can take a little bit over a year.
-
Both the Dye-VL and the Dye-SR applicators are effective for treating superficial pigmented and vascular lesions of the sun-damaged areas. These can be used in the unique “in-motion” technique and thus keep the treatment safe and comfortable for the patient.
-
The Harmony XL Pro offers SHR in-motion technology which is virtually painless and effective.
-
Number of sessions for hair removal with AFT by Harmony XL PRO varies, on average 6-10 sessions depended on the patient’s skin color, hair type and the area being treated. Treatment time can range from a few seconds for a small area such as above the upper lip, to 8 minutes for the entire back.
Everyone responds differently to laser hair reduction. The results obtained by one client may not be obtainable by another. Everyone’s hair grows at different rates and responds differently to treatment.
-
Test patch is performed in the treatment area but in an inconspicuous area.
Test patch is performed using the recommended parameters for each mode.
Wait at least 30 minutes for Skin Types I-III, and 24 hours for skin types IV-VI, to assess the skin reaction.
Each new modality used requires a new test patch.
If there are changes to the medical history, a new test patch is performed again.
Test patching may be a requirement of your insurance – ensure you read your Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)
-
The Medical History Form is important to screen for contraindications which might exclude a patient from receiving treatment for safety reasons
Photosensitising medications are just one of the many contraindications associated with laser treatments. A list of photosensitising medications can be found here:
Photosensitising Medications
Confirm the Medical History Form is up to date at each visit, and that there have not been any changes
Completing a Medical History Form may be a requirement of your insurance – ensure you read your Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)
-
The Informed Consent Form is important to ensure the client understands all the risks associated with the treatment
Completing an Informed Consent Form may be a requirement of your insurance – ensure you read your Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)
-
Permanent hair reduction will require a series of treatments (10 – 12+) and may vary according to:
Skin type and hair density/colour/thickness
Physiological condition – genetics, age, gender, hormonal background, general health
Treatment adherence, and pre- and post-treatment instruction adherence can impact the treatment effectiveness
There may be discomfort, transient erythema (redness), oedema (swelling), and broken capillaries
There is a risk of adverse events in every treatment – please ensure the client understands the Informed Consent Form
Hormonal changes can cause regrowth even in areas where the hair follicles were successfully treated by the laser. This might include, but is not limited to, hormonal conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), pregnancy, breastfeeding, puberty, menopause, starting, changing, or stopping the oral contraceptive pill, and hormone therapy.
Maintenance treatments may be required after the initial 10 – 12+ sessions
No hair removal treatment can remove 100% of the hair permanently. This is a laser hair reduction treatment.
-
Most users of traditional laser hair removal are familiar with and experience the photo-waxing effect which causes vaporization of the hair
It requires the patient to shave 48 hours before the treatment and have short hair present during the session. It gives the illusion that the hair has shredded however it has just snapped (vaporized), and the bulb of the hair still must move through the three hair growth cycles before it can detach
It can alter the efficacy of the treatment, as the heat does not reach deep enough into the follicle. Most of the energy is wasted on the superficial hair and not the desired depth for permanent hair removal
Clients will not experience this shedding process with Soprano hair reduction, instead they will notice a reduction in hair that grows back
The returning growth will be patchy until all treatments are complete – remember the hair must be in the anagen phase to be successfully targeted and only approximately 30% of hair is in the anagen phase at any one treatment
-
Proper pre- and post-care will directly influence the effectiveness and safety of the treatment.
Correct pre- and post-care is imperative and must be discussed with the client.
A comprehensive guide to pre- and post-care can be found in our clinic.
-
Treatment adherence is important to ensure treatment effectiveness.
Treatment adherence is imperative and must be discussed with the client
Number of Treatments: 10 – 12
Treatment Intervals: Face: 4 – 8 weeks | Body: 6 – 8 weeks
-
Potential risks should be documented in the Informed Consent Form and verbally discussed with the client to ensure comprehension.
Complications are rare but possible. Common side effects include temporary redness (erythema) and a mild "sunburn" like effect that may last a few hours to a couple of days.
Other potential side effects include but are not limited to, crusting, irritation, itching, pain, burns, blistering, scabbing, swelling (oedema), broken capillaries, bronzing, and acne or herpetic breakouts. There also is a risk of resulting unsatisfactory appearance and failure to achieve the desired result.
In approximately 1% of patients, a paradoxal effect can occur. This is where dormant hair follicles are stimulated by the laser light resulting in increased growth of hair.
Laser hair removal cannot be done over tattoos and raised lesions. Tattoos and raised lesions must be covered with white opaque material
