Dark Spots & Pigmentation

Q-Switched ClearLift technology from Alma Harmony XL Pro offers a highly effective, non-invasive solution for stubborn, localised pigmentation.

Whether it’s sunspots, age spots, melasma, or post-inflammatory marks, this laser targets deep pigment deposits with exceptional precision, while preserving the surrounding skin.

Using advanced photoacoustic energy, the laser breaks down unwanted pigmentation quickly and safely, leaving your skin clearer and more even.

Many dark spots respond impressively to this treatment, with noticeable improvement or even complete resolution often after just one or two sessions. However, the number of treatments needed varies based on the depth and type of pigmentation, and will be confirmed during your consultation.

The Q-Switched ClearLift laser targets melanin clusters beneath the skin surface, fragmenting them into microscopic particles.
These particles are then naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system over time, revealing clearer, more uniform skin.

The treatment is fast, painless, and requires no downtime.
A small crust may form on the treated area, which naturally falls off within a week.

Is the treatment painful?

No, it’s well tolerated with only a mild warming sensation.

When will I see results?

Improvements appear progressively in the weeks following the session.

How many sessions are needed?

We recommend 2–5 sessions, depending on your skin and goals.

Is there any downtime?

No downtime. A small crust may form and naturally fall off.

Is the treatment safe in summer?

Yes, with standard sun protection.

Can dark spots disappear after just one session?

Yes, it is possible. Many patients see significant improvement, and in some cases complete resolution of individual dark spots, after just one or two sessions. However, the number of treatments required depends on the type, size, and depth of the pigmentation. This will be carefully assessed during your consultation to set realistic expectations.

What happens if I need to cancel or cannot attend my appointment?
