Whether you’re looking to smooth texture, even out skin tone, address vascular concerns, or erase an unwanted tattoo, the Alma Harmony delivers targeted, customizable results with minimal disruption to your daily life. Under Dr. Hassanzadeh’s expert guidance, every treatment is thoughtfully tailored to your unique skin and goals, because no two patients are the same.

What is the Alma Harmony Laser?

The Alma Harmony is a next-generation, multi-modality aesthetic laser platform that consolidates an array of advanced laser and light-based technologies into a single, intelligent system. FDA-cleared for over 130 indications, the Alma Harmony is designed to treat the full spectrum of skin concerns, from pigmentation and vascular lesions to fine lines, acne scars, and tattoo removal, across all skin types and tones.

What sets the Alma Harmony apart is its modularity. Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, the platform features a suite of specialized handpieces — each engineered for a specific type of treatment — that can be used individually or combined in the same session for synergistic results. This allows Dr. Hassanzadeh to design a truly personalized protocol that meets your skin exactly where it is.

The Alma Harmony builds on over two decades of clinical innovation, and its technologies have been refined to balance efficacy, safety, and patient comfort. The result is a platform trusted by top aesthetic practitioners around the world, and now available to you at our Beverly Hills practice.

Patient Testimonial

Botox

I received Botox with Dr. H two weeks ago and absolutely LOVE how my results are settling in! She really listened to me and my concerns and gave me the best treatment plan for what I wanted! I couldn’t be happier and so excited to come back soon for more treatments!!!

Alma Harmony Modalities

The Alma Harmony system at our practice includes the following specialized handpieces:

SupErb

The SupErb is the Alma Harmony’s ablative resurfacing handpiece, powered by a 2940nm Er:YAG laser. This wavelength is strongly absorbed by water in the skin’s tissue, making it exceptionally effective for the controlled removal of the outer skin layers. The result is a cleaner, smoother, and more refined skin surface with minimal thermal damage to the surrounding tissue.

SupErb is ideal for patients looking to address more visible textural concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, rough or uneven skin texture, enlarged pores, and benign skin lesions. Because the Er:YAG laser’s energy is so efficiently absorbed, it can achieve impressive resurfacing results with better-controlled recovery times compared to older ablative technologies. 

Iris Dye-VL

The Iris Dye-VL is an intense pulsed light (IPL) handpiece that utilizes Alma’s proprietary Advanced Fluorescence Technology (AFT). Unlike conventional IPL devices, AFT converts lower-wavelength energy that would otherwise go unused, delivering a more efficient, consistent, and controlled burst of energy to the skin. The Dye-VL’s narrow-band spectrum specifically targets melanin and hemoglobin, making it highly effective for treating both vascular and pigmented lesions.

This handpiece is an excellent option for patients dealing with sun damage, redness, rosacea, age spots, freckles, broken capillaries, and uneven skin tone. The Iris Dye-VL delivers meaningful improvements in skin clarity and radiance with little to no downtime, making it a popular choice for patients who want results without interrupting their routines.

ClearLift Pro Q-Switched

The ClearLift Pro is a high-powered Q-switched Nd:YAG laser operating at 1064nm (and 532nm for superficial concerns). Q-switched lasers work by emitting ultra-short, high-intensity pulses of energy that create precise acoustic shockwaves within the skin, shattering pigment and stimulating collagen remodeling, all without disrupting the outer surface of the skin.

This makes ClearLift Pro a non-ablative powerhouse: it penetrates deeply to treat pigmented lesions, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and skin laxity, while simultaneously stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production. Because the surface of the skin remains intact, patients experience little to no downtime, making the ClearLift Pro a favorite for those who want meaningful skin rejuvenation on their schedule. The 532nm mode also targets superficial pigment and vascular lesions with precision.

ClearLift Laser Tattoo Removal

For patients seeking to remove an unwanted tattoo, the ClearLift handpiece on the Alma Harmony offers a safe, effective, and clinically proven solution. Using Q-switched Nd:YAG technology at 1064nm and 532nm wavelengths, the ClearLift delivers rapid pulses of energy that selectively break down tattoo ink particles into tiny fragments. The body’s immune system then naturally clears these fragments over time, gradually fading the tattoo with each successive treatment.

The dual-wavelength capability allows the ClearLift to address a wide range of ink colors and depths, including both dark inks (black, blue, green) and lighter or color inks. Treatments are well-tolerated, and Dr. Hassanzadeh will design a personalized removal plan based on your tattoo’s size, color complexity, ink depth, and your skin type. Most patients require a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve their desired degree of clearance.

VascuPen

The VascuPen is a precision diode laser handpiece designed specifically for the targeted treatment of small vascular lesions and superficial pigmented spots. Operating at a 530nm green wavelength, the VascuPen delivers focused energy directly into unwanted blood vessels and lesions, causing them to collapse and be naturally reabsorbed by the body without affecting the surrounding skin.

The VascuPen’s pen-like design allows for meticulous, millimeter-level precision, making it particularly well-suited for treating spider veins, cherry angiomas, telangiectasias, broken capillaries, and small pigmented lesions on the face and body. Treatments are quick, comfortable, and require little downtime, with patients often noticing visible improvement after just one or two sessions.

What are the Benefits of Alma Harmony Laser Treatment?

The Alma Harmony stands out in the world of aesthetic lasers for the breadth and depth of what it can achieve. Key benefits include:

  • Versatility across skin concerns. From tone and texture to vascular lesions, pigmentation, and tattoo removal, the Alma Harmony addresses an exceptional range of indications — often in combination during a single visit.
  • Safe for all skin types. The platform’s various technologies are designed to treat patients across all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker skin tones that may not be appropriate candidates for other laser systems.
  • Customizable, layered protocols. Dr. Hassanzadeh can combine multiple modalities in one session, targeting different layers of the skin simultaneously for more comprehensive and efficient results.
  • Minimal to no downtime (depending on modality). Many Alma Harmony treatments require little to no recovery time, allowing patients to return to their routines the same day or within a few days.
  • Progressive, natural-looking results. Alma Harmony treatments stimulate the body’s own regenerative processes, including collagen and elastin production, so results continue to improve over time.
  • Comfort-focused design. The system’s integrated cooling and controlled energy delivery help make treatments more comfortable for patients.
  • Trusted clinical efficacy. FDA-cleared for over 130 indications, the Alma Harmony is backed by extensive clinical research and used by leading aesthetic providers worldwide.

Alma Harmony Procedure & Recovery

Before Your Treatment

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Hassanzadeh. During this visit, she will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals and concerns, and recommend the most appropriate Alma Harmony modality for your unique needs. Pre-treatment instructions may include avoiding sun exposure, discontinuing certain skincare products, and pausing specific medications. Dr. Hassanzadeh and her team will walk you through everything you need to know to arrive prepared and get the best possible results.

During Treatment

Most Alma Harmony sessions take between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the modalities selected. A topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand for added comfort. During the treatment, you may feel mild warmth, a light snapping sensation, or brief flashes of heat, all of which are well-tolerated by most patients. Our team will ensure you are comfortable throughout.

After Treatment & Recovery

Recovery varies based on the modality used:

  • Non-ablative treatments (ClearLift Pro, Iris Dye-VL, VascuPen): Minimal to no downtime. Mild redness or warmth may occur for a few hours. Most patients return to normal activities the same day.
  • Ablative resurfacing (SupErb): Expect more noticeable redness and skin shedding for approximately 5–7 days as the skin heals and renews. Sun protection and a gentle skincare routine are essential during this period.

Dr. Hassanzadeh will provide detailed post-care instructions tailored to your treatment and skin type. Optimal results typically develop over a series of treatments, with skin continuing to improve over the weeks and months following each session as collagen remodeling takes place.

Who is a Good Candidate?

The Alma Harmony’s multi-modality design means it is appropriate for a wide range of patients. You may be a good candidate if you are experiencing one or more of the following:

  • Sun damage, age spots, or uneven pigmentation
  • Redness, rosacea, or visible blood vessels
  • Fine lines, wrinkles, or skin laxity
  • Acne scars or other textural irregularities
  • Enlarged pores or dull, rough skin
  • Unwanted tattoos
  • Spider veins, cherry angiomas, or broken capillaries
  • Benign skin lesions

The Alma Harmony is safe for all skin types, including darker skin tones. However, it may not be appropriate for patients who are pregnant, have certain active skin conditions, or have recently had significant sun exposure. A consultation with Dr. Hassanzadeh is the best way to determine whether Alma Harmony is the right treatment for you and which modality will best address your concerns.

Pairs Well With These Treatments

The Alma Harmony is a powerful treatment on its own, but for patients seeking more comprehensive facial rejuvenation, it pairs beautifully with several other services offered at Dr. Hassanzadeh’s practice:

  • Botox & Neuromodulators: Soften dynamic lines and expression wrinkles while the Alma Harmony improves skin quality and tone.
  • HA or Biostimulating Fillers: Restore volume and structural support alongside laser-based textural and pigment correction.
  • Morpheus8: Combine radiofrequency microneedling for deep tissue remodeling with Alma Harmony’s surface and mid-dermal treatments.

During your consultation, Dr. Hassanzadeh will discuss which combination of treatments best aligns with your goals and create a cohesive, phased treatment plan designed to deliver optimal, natural-looking results.
