As technology advances and improves, there are more and more laser treatments available for people of all types searching for the holy grail of clearer, younger-looking skin. However, not all skin treatments are created equal, and with so many different options on the market, you (and your clientele) can afford to be choosy.
While invasive skin treatments are certainly effective, they also require preparation, sedation, drawn-out treatment times, and days or even weeks of recovery afterward. But what about prospective patients with busy schedules looking to avoid downtime? Surely there has to be a better option, right?
When it comes to cutting-edge options for skin rejuvenation solutions, consider the Alma ClearLift applicator. This treatment option, used by devices like the Harmony XL pro, which boasts transformative results with minimal pain and downtime. In this article we’ll explore what makes Alma ClearLift treatments so advantageous, as well as the myriad treatment options it offers.
How the Alma Clearlift Gently Rejuvenates Skin
Alma ClearLift treatments are so quick and comfortable that they’re often called the “lunchtime lift.” Treatment sessions usually take about thirty minutes to complete, and because this treatment is virtually pain-free, requiring neither numbing nor recovery time afterwards, patients can immediately go about their days afterwards.
A primary feature of the Alma Clearlift – and what gives it its name – is the ClearLift Pixel Q-Switched laser treatment, a 1064 Nd: YAG device used to resurface patients’ skin. Also known as the Laser Facelift, this fractional, nonablative light technology penetrates about 3mm into the dermis, unlike other laser treatments, which often work by creating minor injuries to the surface of the patients’ skin. Instead, the ClearLift uses short bursts of light to create microscopic holes within the dermis, promoting healing in the form of increased collagen promotion. The powerful, controlled laser pulses from the ClearLift are delivered so quickly that the outer layer of the skin remains unharmed during this process, allowing patients to achieve visible improvement to the skin without discomfort or long downtime periods.
Typically, to receive the best results, patients will need three to six treatments received three to four weeks apart. Touchup appointments may be required around six months after initial treatment.
What the Alma ClearLift Treats
The Alma ClearLift treats conditions such as scarring, including stretch marks and acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, photodamage, and pigmented and vascular lesions. What makes Alma ClearLift so unique is that it’s safe to use on the delicate skin areas across the entire face. Unlike other lasers, which cannot be used around patients’ eyes, ClearLift can be used on patients’ nasal folds, marionette lines, and the lower eyelids. Patients’ necks and hands are also able to be treated using ClearLift. Because of its Q-switched laser module, Alma ClearLift technology can be used on all Fitzpatrick skin types, including tanned skin.
Other Applicators and What they Do
The ClearLift applicator isn’t the only high-end laser technology utilized by the Harmony XL Pro. In addition to ClearLift technology, the Harmony XL Pro also boasts these applicators, tailored to a wide range of skin concerns and types.
ClearSkin Pro
The ClearSkin Pro laser uses a combination of vacuum cooling and non-ablative laser technology, using a 1540nm Erbium Glass laser to treat a variety of skin concerns. It’s most effective on conditions such as pimples and acne, acne scars, oiliness, and uneven skin tone or texture. It works on a wide range of skin types, including very sensitive skin.
iPixel
iPixel is a fractional ablative laser resurfacing treatment, operating at 2940nm. It uses multiple pixel configuration to achieve high-powered ablation and deep skin penetration to improve the tone and texture of the skin, as well as reduce pigmentation and pore size.
LP Nd:Yag
The LP Nd:YG is a 1064nm long pulse laser, facilitating high absorption by hemoglobin that makes it effective for treating vascular lesions.
Dye-VL and Dye-Sr
These narrow band spectrum applicators are advanced forms of Intense Pulsed Light, or IPL technology. They work to treat uneven skin tone, age spots, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, and other forms of vascular redness. The Dye-VL works better on light skin types, while the Dye-SR works for patients with darker skin types.
Speed AFT
The Speed AFT is a broadband IPL applicator with a large spot size of 6.4cm2. Operating at a wavelength of 780-950nm, it can treat larger areas of the body quickly and efficiently and also utilizes contact cooling, making it safe and effective for hair removal.

This broadband IPL technology 3cm2 applicator is optimized for treating vascular and pigmented lesions. Working at 540-950nm, it utilizes effective cooling, and comes with different pulse width options.
