Harmony AFT PhotoRejuvenation

U Cosmetic uses the Harmony XL for PhotoRejuvenation with AFT (Advanced Fluorescence Technology, the next generation of Intense Pulsed Light). PhotoRejuvenation decreases flat brown spots (sun damage) and capillaries or redness (rosacea or poikiloderma) on the face resulting in a rejuvenated, even complexion. Melasma is another hyperpigmentation disorder that may also be treated with light therapy. Melasma is a brown hyperpigmentation of the face and neck thought to be caused by excess estrogen, progesterone and melanocyte-stimulating hormone. It is a difficult symptom to control and while light therapy can improve the condition it can also cause it to worsen. Pre-treatment with a skin lightener can improve results and help prevent worsening pigmentation. On average 3 to 6 treatments are required to produce satisfactory results and some may require more treatments. Rosacea, spider vessels and poikiloderma may require 6 treatments or more for improvement.

Other options for treating persistent redness, spider vessels and brown spots include the NdYAG or KTP laser. Medical grade skin care and treatment cosmetics (only found at U Cosmetic) may be used to even out skin tone naturally. Both provide excellent sun protection.
