Visibly softer pigmentation and a brighter-looking complexion.
Evolution Aesthetics Clinic


If individual dark spots stand out against your usual skin tone, White Gloss may help reduce their contrast. It combines ClearLift laser and Dye-SR intense pulsed light on the Alma Harmony XL PRO platform.
The first step is to identify the pigment: a sun spot, melasma and a mark left after acne need different care. We select the treatment for that diagnosis, aiming for a more even complexion while preserving your natural skin colour.
key facts

You wear protective eyewear during treatment and may feel warmth or brief snaps against the skin. Treated spots can become darker before settling; redness or swelling can also occur.
Leave darkened spots alone rather than picking or scrubbing them. Gentle skincare and sun protection support recovery. Allow time for visible changes to settle before an important event.

Questions
ClearLift delivers very short laser pulses. Dye-SR delivers filtered intense pulsed light, rather than a laser beam. Both are used for selected pigment concerns, but their light delivery differs. White Gloss combines the two methods on the Harmony XL PRO platform.
Melasma commonly forms broader, recurring patches, often on the cheeks or forehead. Heat and irritation can make it worse. It needs a long-term pigment-care plan, so we do not treat it as a simple sun spot or make White Gloss the default choice.
Skin tone, a recent tan and a history of dark marks after irritation all matter. Light energy can affect pigment in the surrounding skin as well as the target spot. We assess that risk before selecting treatment; suitability is not the same for every skin tone.
Treated spots may become less visible, but treatment does not prevent new pigment from developing. Sun exposure can contribute to new spots, and conditions such as melasma can recur. Daily sun protection and the correct diagnosis matter as much as the treatment session.
The type and extent of the pigmentation, the change in the spots and the way the skin heals guide further visits. The skin is reviewed after the initial darkening and redness settle.
A new, changing, bleeding or unusual spot needs a medical diagnosis before cosmetic light treatment. Removing its colour is not a substitute for finding out what it is.

Meet ElviraSun spots are often distinct marks on sun-exposed skin. Melasma more often forms broader patches and may return even after it improves. Marks left after acne, irritation or an injury are called post-inflammatory pigmentation. They can look alike in a photograph but respond differently to treatment.
A selected sun spot may be suitable for pigment-targeting light treatment. Skin that readily develops dark marks after irritation needs more caution, because treatment itself can trigger a new pigment change. Melasma may worsen with heat or inflammation and needs ongoing pigment care. Our melasma and hyperpigmentation guide explains these differences.
White Gloss uses ClearLift laser and Dye-SR filtered light. These are distinct applicators on the same Alma platform. ClearLift supplies short laser pulses; Dye-SR supplies filtered intense pulsed light. The combination is selected for the pigment concern and skin response. Some marks are better suited to a single treatment or another form of pigment care.
A tan changes the pigment in surrounding skin and can increase unwanted colour changes after light treatment. Tell us about recent sun exposure and travel plans. Sunscreen is important, but it does not make freshly tanned or sunburned skin ready for treatment. Continue sun protection after the spots settle to help limit further sun-related pigmentation.
Bring your medicine and skincare list, including supplements. Tell us about pregnancy, cold sores, skin infection, open wounds, unusual scarring, healing problems and recent treatments. Include the dates and areas of injections, peels or other energy treatments. A recent tan or sunburn can affect treatment timing. Do not stop prescribed medicine without your prescriber’s advice. A new, changing, bleeding or unusual spot needs medical diagnosis before cosmetic light treatment.
Redness, warmth, swelling and temporary spot darkening can occur. Possible complications include burns, lighter or darker patches and rare scarring. Melasma and previous pigment changes after irritation need particular care.
Cleanse gently, moisturise and use sun protection. Leave darkened spots alone; do not pick, scrub or use stronger exfoliation to remove them. Follow your written instructions for restarting makeup, active skincare, exercise and heat exposure.
Contact us promptly for severe or worsening pain, blisters, spreading redness, discharge or persistent unexpected skin-colour changes. Seek urgent medical assessment for eye pain or new visual symptoms.
