What to understand
Laser and light devices target selected features such as pigment, superficial vessels, hair or skin texture. Diagnosis, skin tone, sun exposure, medicines and device settings influence suitability. Different wavelengths and devices are not interchangeable.
The details that matter
Harmony is a platform name that can cover different applicators and indications. Ask for the actual technology, intended target, suitability for your skin tone and expected downtime.
Risks and limitations
Burns, pigment change, infection, scarring and eye injury can occur. Appropriate experience with different skin tones matters. Results vary, and a desired appearance cannot be guaranteed. Ask how any complication would be recognised, treated and paid for.
Recovery and practical planning
Downtime ranges from brief redness to wound care after resurfacing. Follow device-specific instructions about sun exposure and skin products. Request written instructions about daily activities, medicines and who to contact if something feels wrong. Do not change prescribed medicines without advice from the responsible clinician.
Alternatives to consider
Condition-specific topical treatment, observation or dermatology assessment may be preferable. A changing mole needs diagnosis first.
