How Alma Harmony Works
Sydney Alma Harmony combines multiple energy modalities—IPL (intense pulsed light), Q-switched Nd:YAG, non-ablative fractional lasers, and NIR—to target chromophores such as melanin and haemoglobin, as well as water in the dermis. For example, Dye-VL modules deliver narrowband IPL to treat redness and vascular lesions, while ClearSkin PRO uses a 1540 nm non-ablative laser with vacuum and contact cooling to target acne-causing bacteria, sebaceous glands, and collagen stimulation.
Fractional technologies such as iPixel create microscopic zones of controlled thermal injury that trigger collagen remodelling and skin renewal, improving tone, texture, pores, and fine lines while preserving surrounding tissue for quicker recovery. Near-infrared handpieces provide deep dermal heating to stimulate collagen and improve mild skin laxity, helping to subtly tighten and firm the skin without surgery.
Alma Harmony Treatment Experience at Stasis Clinic
At Stasis Laser & Dermal Clinic in Haymarket, Alma Harmony treatments are tailored by experienced doctors and dermal therapists to match each client’s skin type, lifestyle, and goals. A typical visit includes a detailed consultation, skin assessment, and a customised protocol that may combine multiple Alma Harmony applicators in a single session for synergistic results.
Most treatments are well‑tolerated, often described as a warm or snapping sensation, and are supported by integrated cooling or contact chill tips to enhance comfort. Downtime is usually minimal: redness and mild swelling can last from a few hours to 24–48 hours, while pigment often darkens before gradually fading as the skin renews.
Most clients notice improvements in tone and clarity within a few weeks, with optimal results typically seen after a series of 3–6 sessions, depending on the concern. Common, temporary side effects include redness, mild swelling, transient darkening of pigment, or slight dryness, while more significant complications are rare when treatments are performed by trained professionals following appropriate parameters and skin typing.
Sensitive Skin Treatment
Sensitive Skin Treatment with Alma Harmony
Sensitive skin requires specialised care and precision when undergoing laser or IPL treatments. The Alma Harmony system offers several advantages for individuals with reactive or delicate skin conditions.
Treatment Approach for Sensitive Skin
The platform’s advanced cooling technology and adjustable energy settings allow practitioners to customise treatments according to individual skin tolerance levels. Unlike traditional IPL devices that deliver uniform energy across all skin types, Alma Harmony’s multiple wavelength options enable targeted treatment with minimised thermal impact on surrounding tissues.
Pre-Treatment Considerations
Patients with sensitive skin should avoid sun exposure for 2-4 weeks before treatment and discontinue use of photosensitising products. A comprehensive consultation and patch test are essential to determine appropriate energy levels and treatment protocols. Topical anaesthetic can be applied 30-40 minutes prior to treatment to enhance comfort.
Safety and Comfort Measures
The non-ablative approach used in many Alma Harmony treatments works beneath the skin’s surface without damaging the outer layer, reducing downtime and discomfort. Mild redness or slight swelling may occur post-treatment but typically subsides quickly. Patients should continue avoiding sun exposure and use appropriate sun protection during the treatment course.
Suitability Assessment
While Alma Harmony offers enhanced safety features for sensitive skin, certain contraindications exist including active skin infections, open wounds, recent sunburn, pregnancy, and photosensitive medications. A thorough medical history review and skin assessment by qualified practitioners at Stasis Clinic ensures treatment suitability and optimal outcomes.
Treatment Experience at Stasis Clinic Sydney
Sessions at Stasis in Haymarket typically last 30–60 minutes, starting with skin cleansing, protective eyewear, and application of cooling gel. Practitioners select applicators based on a digital skin analysis, delivering gentle pulses with built-in cooling for comfort—often described as a warm snap or rubber band flick.
Post-treatment, mild redness or warmth fades within hours, allowing immediate return to activities with broad-spectrum sunscreen recommended. Stasis’s team, including doctors and laser therapists, customizes plans integrating Alma Harmony with HydraFacial or PicoSure for amplified rejuvenation.
