PATIENT FAQ's
Choices/Harmony Pigment Reduction

cells. This heats the cell which means that gradually over several
treatments, there is a permanent reduction in the amount of pigment
in that area.

the Harmony technology that make it one of the safest pigment
removal systems available. There are no long term health hazards
from light used in the Harmony. It has been used for decades
in medicine, surgery, and aesthetics without adversity.
What kind of results can I expect from Harmony treatment?
Each Harmony treatment will result in less pigment in each treatment.
It usually takes more than 1 treatment to affect all the pigmented
cells in an area. Most people achieve satisfactory clearance
after 1 or 2 treatments, but individual results vary depending
on medical and genetic factors.
How frequently do I need treatments?
The treatments are usually performed every 1-2 months, but this
depends on individual factors that your harmony clinician will
discuss with you during consultation.

The sensation only lasts for fraction of a second, and you may
feel warmth or a tingling sensation for a short time afterward.

cream, which may be used to numb the skin from feeling sensation
for very sensitive individuals. A special unit that generates very
cold air can also be used for pain reduction if necessary.

The pigment spots will turn very dark and may look like coffee
grounds. This indicates you can expect a good result. The pigment
will diminish or disappear over a three week period as the skin
sheds the pigment cells and replaces them with normal ones.
Who should get Harmony treatment for pigment reduction?
Anyone who wants to reduce or eliminate unwanted pigment. This
includes freckles and aging spots. Isolated, raised or spots
rapidly changing size should not be treated and should be evaluated
by a dermatologist. There are a few medical conditions that contraindicate
people from treatment which will be discussed with your Choices
