Pigmentation and Melasma
Uneven skin tone
An uneven skin tone refers to the colour of your skin which can sometimes look uneven or irregular, with some patches appearing lighter or darker than others.
Your skin contains a pigment called melanin, which determines the colour of your skin, hair and eyes. People with darker skin types have more melanin. Imbalances and disorders of the skin result in uneven colouration and ‘blotches’.
When skin cells become damaged or unhealthy, extra melanin is produced to help protect your skin causing darker patches (Hyperpigmentation). Alternatively, if the cells which produce pigment become damaged, no melanin with be produced creating a white patch (Hypopigmentation).

Sun damaged skin may only start to become apparent later in life! The skin can become rough & dry, feel itchy, prickly or tender. Skin tones frequently become pink, red or brown giving a blotchy appearance... Reduce the risk by using Triple Spectrum Protection.

More Details
Harmony’s Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT) remove the appearance of spots and pigmentation by targeting the melanin in the darkened area, clearing all layers of the pigmentation and revealing even-toned, unblemished skin.
The SR 570nm handpiece is used for skin rejuvenation, photo-damage, uneven skin tone, and fine lines.
Using the SR 570 nm wavelength the energy is absorbed by the melanin chromophore inducing selective photothermolysis this causes disruption of the pigment filled cells. After treatments the lesions will darken and may appear more obvious before they fade and ‘flake’ away.
Rather than delivering a pulse with multiple wavelengths, many of which are outside the therapeutic range, AFT converts unused UV light to the optimal spectrum for more effective treatment. This energy is then channelled into a pulse with equal distribution fluence, whereby uniform energy with controlled peak power is delivered throughout the entire pulse. This minimizes the risk of adverse effects that can occur when patients are exposed to non-therapeutic energy densities and uncontrolled peaks. AFT offers more efficient energy usage per pulse, increased safety, and enhanced clinical results
