Skin Rejuvenation
Skin Harmony
As we age, our skin can lose its vibrancy—particularly as natural collagen production decreases—often becoming noticeable in our 30s.
Skin rejuvenation treatments at the Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery in Appleton and Green Bay offer the opportunity to restore a healthier, more youthful appearance using Harmony XL Pro, a powerful, multi-application device that allows our providers to target specific concerns with precision. This treatment is a cornerstone of our med spa services, offering non-surgical renewal with an elevated standard of care.
One of the latest and most effective technologies for skin rejuvenation is Alma’s Harmony XL Pro. This versatile device is designed to address a wide range of skin concerns throughout your body, making it suitable for individuals of all skin types. It utilizes a non-ablative approach to stimulate collagen production without damaging the outer layer of your skin. The Harmony XL Pro features multiple modules that address concerns such as acne, acne scars, and skin rejuvenation.
The skin rejuvenation treatment with Harmony XL Pro is quick, often taking 30 to 45 minutes, making it convenient for those with busy schedules. An anesthetic is typically unnecessary, allowing you to resume your normal activities right after the procedure. You can also consider combining this treatment with other skincare solutions or hyaluronic acid fillers.
Our skincare specialists will cleanse your skin and provide protective goggles for your eyes during the treatment. The laser is applied to your skin, and most people experience only a mild, warm sensation. The laser creates narrow channels beneath your skin’s surface, stimulating collagen and elastin production while addressing concerns such as acne.
After treatment, our skincare specialist will apply soothing products and sunscreen to your skin. While some individuals may see improvements after their first treatment, most people benefit from a series of at least six sessions, spaced three to four weeks apart.
Skin rejuvenation treatments can help with the following:
While most commonly used on the face, Harmony XL Pro can safely and effectively treat the delicate skin of the neck, chest (décolletage), and hands, which often show significant signs of aging and sun exposure.
Harmony XL Pro’s skin rejuvenation treatment is a suitable option for all skin types. It provides faster and longer-lasting results than other options, requires no downtime, and is more potent than older treatment alternatives. The procedure also initiates deep dermal warming, which promotes long-term collagen growth for healthier, firmer-looking skin over time.
Most individuals seeking to improve sun-damaged skin, uneven pigmentation, or overall skin texture are excellent candidates for Harmony XL Pro. You should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results.
The treatment is not suitable for individuals with certain skin conditions, those who are pregnant, or those who have recently taken specific medications. Our providers will perform a detailed skin analysis during your consultation to determine the best treatment plan for your skin type.
One of the key advantages of Harmony XL Pro’s skin rejuvenation treatment is the absence of downtime. However, it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 12 hours after your session and to use sunscreen outdoors, even on cloudy days. Makeup can typically be applied eight hours after your treatment session.
To achieve the best results, following your provider’s recommendations for suitable skincare products is crucial, as it can vary based on your specific skin conditions.

Initial results, such as reduced redness or pigment, can be seen within the first two weeks following treatment.
Optimal results often require about six sessions. The improved clarity and smoother texture are long-lasting, but since aging and sun exposure continue, maintenance treatments are necessary. We recommend periodic follow-up sessions, typically once or twice a year, to preserve the youthful appearance and keep the skin clear.

Photofacial is a common term used for IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments. The Harmony XL Pro system includes an advanced IPL application, but it also offers several other distinct laser technologies to address a broader range of conditions than a standard photofacial device.
While some patients see improvement after just one treatment, we typically recommend an initial series of 3 to 5 sessions, spaced approximately 3 to 4 weeks apart. This approach allows for gradual, sustained improvement and optimal correction of pigment and vascular issues.
Most patients experience a sensation of heat and a quick flash or snap during the treatment. We prioritize your comfort and can use chilled air or topical numbing cream to ensure the experience is well-tolerated and as relaxing as possible.
In most cases, you may apply mineral makeup immediately after the treatment. However, our providers recommend waiting until the following day if you have significant redness or if a more aggressive setting was used, especially if any blistering occurs (which is rare).
