Our skin is as unique as we are, and the largest organ of the body. We would all like to have clear, bright and youthful looking skin, but sometimes there are specific skin concerns which can compromise the look and health of our complexion, leading to feelings of self-consciousness and anxiety.
Ageing, chronic conditions such as acne, acne scarring and rosacea as well as sun damage, can all take their toll on our skin and our wellbeing. At Leicester MediSpa, we offer a range of FDA approved laser and light technologies to safely treat a range of skin conditions, so you can look and feel your best, without going under the knife or having to take time off work to recover.
Advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology can be used for a variety of skin issues and at Leicester MediSpa we are delighted to offer the ALMA Harmony XL PRO™ DYE SR device, to actively treat a myriad of dermal conditions, from rosacea and skin lesions to the signs of ageing and sun damage.
This advanced form of IPL uses a high-power light source, in the near infrared spectrum. This achieves effective and safe dermal heating, which stimulates the production of new collagen, leaving skin looking more youthful and radiant, reducing redness and healing specific chronic skin conditions.
The DYE SR handpiece uses advanced fluorescent technology (AFT) which utilises fully, the energy which may otherwise be unused, converting it so that it can be distributed evenly; even a low treatment setting can prove extremely effective, whilst minimising the risks that can usually be associated with normal IPL treatments.
The special cooling system also aids skin comfort during this treatment. Only the tissues which are targeted are affected by the treatment and the surrounding tissues are kept intact.
At Leicester MediSpa we will ask that you attend an initial consultation, to determine how many treatments may be required for your individual skin concerns. Many patients achieve initial results after 1 session. However, most patients require on average 3 – 6 treatments, spaced 3-4 weeks apart, for optimum results.
For cases such as thread veins, spider veins and pigmentation issues, the results can be permanent, but will not prevent further broken veins or sun damage from occurring. It’s important to have realistic expectations and to also take care of your skin, following your IPL treatments, so that the results can be enjoyed long-term and the risk of further skin damage is minimised.
Your Leicester MediSpa specialist practitioner will advise you on how to take care of your skin by means of topical applications, diet, preventative measures and lifestyle options, so you can enjoy clearer, smoother and younger looking skin, for longer.

The award-winning ClearLift™ is a highly effective non-ablative skin rejuvenation treatment, which is so quick to administer that it can be carried out in your lunchtime. The ClearLift™ laser treatment helps to rejuvenate skin and counter the signs of ageing, revealing a smoother, healthier, and younger looking complexion.
It’s virtually pain-free, is completely safe for all skin types and requires no downtime. The ClearLift™ 4D system is the most powerful Q-SWITCHED Nd: YAG laser, which allows your Leicester MediSpa practitioner to control the exact depth of treatment.
Harmony ClearLift™ is a very gentle-yet-effective treatment described as virtually painless. You may feel a slight warmth sensation on to the skin but this is not painful.
Side-effects post-treatment can include slight transient erythema (redness of the skin) and in some cases a little tenderness and slight swelling if you do have sensitive skin, but this is normal and not anything to be concerned about.
This depends on the severity of your skin concerns, which will be discussed at your initial consultation with your specialist practitioner. However, in general we advise patients to undergo a course of 4-6 treatments, at 2-3 weeks apart to achieve optimum results.
You should start to notice initial results around 4 to 6 weeks, following your first treatment and then optimum results at around 4 weeks after your final treatment. The results usually last up to 24 months, before a maintenance treatment is required once per year.

The Harmony XL Pro™ Q-Switched 1064nm and KTP 532nm is a modifiable laser that can target tattoos of all colours and spectrums including dark and light pigments. During tattoo removal the absorbed laser energy causes a photo-acoustic disruption, breaking down the pigment and colour within the tattoo into smaller particles. As the area heals, the body’s immune system flushes away the shattered ink particles through a process called phagocytosis, causing the tattoo to fade with minimal risk of scarring or hyperpigmentation.
The Harmony XL Pro™ Tattoo Removal system is clinically proven to be both safe and effective. Q-switched lasers are recognised as the only really effective lasers for tattoo removal, as they have the ability to reach the deeper layers of the skin to break down the present pigment.
Tattoo removal can be moderately painful however it is a very quick treatment. We usually say that if you were able to have a tattoo, you will be able to handle tattoo removal. A medium or large tattoo can be treated in a matter of minutes. However, a topical anaesthetic can be applied, prior to your treatment to minimise any discomfort.
During the treatment, it is common to feel a hot zapping sensation whilst the area is being treated. This can be likened to the sensation of a hot elastic band being snapped against the skin. There may be some heat in the area following treatment, but this will dissipate quickly. Each treatment becomes less painful as we break down the pigment throughout the duration of your course of treatments.
Following tattoo removal with Harmony XL Pro ™ you may experience some blistering, scabbing, swelling and heat sensation in the treated area. Although this can appear worrying it is a normal occurrence with tattoo removal and will disappear. A dry or paraffin gauze dressing may be used to cover the area if needed but this is mainly to keep the area safe from any potential friction. You should let the area heal and avoid touching the area.
In your first few sessions, there will be some frosting. This happens when the cells holding the ink pigment rupture, water is released from the skin and rises to the surface causing the frosting. This is temporary and can be wiped away gently after treatment. It does not affect your treatment nor is it necessary to have frosting for your treatment to be effective.
You should keep the treated area clean and ensure clothes do not rub against the treated area. You should avoid hot baths, saunas, or other extremes of temperature for 72 hours. Swimming and UV exposure should be avoided in between treatments and until the area is fully healed and you must not scratch or pick at the skin as this may cause an infection. You will be provided with bespoke after care advice post treatment by your specialist laser practitioner here at Leicester MediSpa.
The number of sessions required to remove the tattoo will depend on the type (amateur or professional), size, age, location, and the depth as well as type of pigment used. Typically, most patients require 8-12 sessions at intervals of 6-10 weeks apart. Therefore, the duration of your treatment course can take place over several months.

ClearSkin PRO™ offers powerful FDA approved laser technology which uses targeted light wave energy to treat the common signs of acne including acne lesions, blackheads, open pores, and oily skin. Acne can be a very challenging and an emotionally upsetting condition.
The Harmony ClearSkin PRO™ treatment helps to release blocked pores, with a built-in vacuum mechanism. The Er:GLASS 1540nm (Erbium glass fibre) allows gentle cleansing to the surface of the skin, whilst the laser works below the surface causing thermal damage to the sebaceous glands, reducing sebum production and destroying the bacteria responsible for acne.
Dead skin cells, debris and excess sebum are cleared, revealing a cleaner, smoother, and more radiant complexion minimising visible open pores.
As a non-ablative skin resurfacing and rejuvenating laser, the ClearSkin PRO™ is equally effective for other signs of blemished or ageing skin, including:
ClearSkin PRO™ laser is non-ablative, so works by safely heating up targeted areas, without damaging the surrounding tissues. The ClearSkin PRO™ laser also has an integrated contact cooling system to minimise discomfort resulting in virtually no pain. You may feel a slight snapping on to the skin (like an elastic band being flicked) but this is bearable and not painful, numbing cream and injectable anaesthetics are not required.
The ClearSkin PRO™ laser does not cause ablation or tissue evaporation, reducing the likelihood of side effects or downtime. However, you may experience some visible signs of treatment including mild redness and swelling to the treated area which can last up to 24 hours.
This depends on the severity of your acne and acne scarring. In most cases, we recommend a course of 4 to 6 sessions, spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart for optimum results followed by a maintenance treatment every 6 months.
This depends on the severity of your acne and acne scarring . Generally, initial results tend to be seen after around 2 to 3 sessions and these results should offer permanent improvements. These results will progressively improve after each treatment session however, you might find maintenance sessions are necessary to retain your results.

Before we can book you for a Harmony XL PRO™ IPL or laser treatment at Leicester MediSpa, we will ask that you attend an initial consultation, where one of our specialist laser practitioners can discuss your individual concerns, perform a skin analysis and develop a bespoke treatment plan. We will also check your medical history, to ensure there are no medical reasons which may prevent or restrict the treatment from going ahead and then perform a patch test at least 24 hours before your first treatment.
As part of our ongoing duty of care to all our patients, we must ensure that any treatment that you undertake at our clinic will not only give you the results you are seeking, but will be a safe treatment for you to undergo. Once we are satisfied that an IPL or laser treatment will be suitable for your requirements and goals, you can book your first treatment session with one of our specialist laser practitioners.
