White Gloss
Signature Pigmentation Laser Protocol for Face

White Gloss is our two-step pigmentation protocol on the Alma Harmony XL PRO designed for the face to reduce sun spots, age spots, and uneven tone while improving skin quality. It combines ClearLift laser (photoacoustic 4D) with Dye SR light to target pigment at different depths and address the processes linked to photoaging. This means we work on what you see on the surface and on what drives discoloration deeper in the skin. Sessions are quick and comfortable for most people, with little to no downtime. Many notice a brighter look after the first visit, with best results building over a short course. We perform the White Gloss Signature Laser Protocol (Alma Harmony XL PRO) and tailor parameters to your skin.
Clearer tone, multi‑depth pigment targeting, and extra glow in fewer visits
Targets surface and deep pigment in one protocol
ClearLift and Dye SR work together to break up melanin at multiple depths, improving freckles, sun spots, and uneven tone.
Visible improvement from the first session
Many people see brighter, more even skin within days, with clarity continuing to improve over the next few weeks.
Short, lunch‑break appointments
Face treatments usually take 30–45 minutes and most return to normal routine right away.
Comfortable and needle‑free
Energy delivery and integrated cooling make the procedure well‑tolerated without injections or anesthesia.
All‑season with smart sun care
Can be done year‑round when there is no active tan and daily high‑SPF protection is used.
More than pigment: 4D rejuvenation
Photoacoustic pulses also support collagen for smoother texture, refined pores, and a healthier glow.

Dual‑action laser and light reach pigment at multiple depths and support collagen
White Gloss uses two steps on the Alma Harmony XL PRO to address both visible spots and deeper photoaging processes. Step 1: ClearLift delivers ultra‑short photoacoustic pulses from a Q‑switched Nd:YAG laser through the skin surface to create controlled acoustic micro‑zones in the dermis. These pulses fracture clustered melanin into tiny particles and trigger a remodeling response that encourages new collagen, without ablating the epidermis. Step 2: Dye SR applies a selective, narrow‑band intense pulsed light designed to target melanin and pigmented structures in the upper layers via selective photothermolysis. This helps lift remaining superficial pigment and reduces color irregularities that often accompany photodamage. The fragmented pigment is then processed naturally by the skin and lymphatic system. By combining photoacoustic (deep) and selective light (surface) mechanisms in one visit, the protocol can treat both epidermal and dermal pigmentation while improving overall tone, texture, and radiance.Contraindications
This protocol may not be suitable for everyone. Please inform your practitioner about your medical history, current medications, and recent sun exposure before booking.
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active skin infection, open wounds, or active herpes in the treatment area
- Recent isotretinoin use (within the past 6–12 months)
- Photosensitizing medications or topical agents that cannot be paused
- History of keloid scarring or poor wound healing
- Uncontrolled systemic disease (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes)
- Epilepsy triggered by light
- Recent tanning, sunburn, or self‑tanner on the area (within 2–3 weeks)
- Suspicious lesions or history of skin cancer in the treatment area (needs prior medical clearance)
- Metal implants or tattoos in the target area (area must be avoided)

Course‑based plan for longer‑lasting pigment control with minimal downtime
A typical plan is 4–6 sessions spaced about 3 weeks apart. Many people see visible brightening after the first session, with more even tone building through the course and continuing to improve for 6–12 weeks after the final visit. Results can be maintained with diligent daily SPF 50+, topical pigment control at home, and occasional maintenance visits (every 6–12 months, as advised). Session length: face treatments usually take 30–45 minutes. Before your visit: avoid tanning and sunburn for 2 weeks, use SPF 50+ daily, pause retinoids, acids, benzoyl peroxide, and exfoliants for 3–5 days, avoid waxing/peels on the area for 1 week, arrive with clean skin, and disclose all medications. After your visit: expect mild redness or warmth for a few hours; pigment may temporarily darken and then lighten over 3–7 days—do not pick. Use gentle cleanser and moisturizer, avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours, skip exfoliants and retinoids for 3–5 days, and apply SPF 50+ every morning. The protocol can be performed year‑round when there is no active tan and sunscreen use is consistent.What works best with White Gloss Signature Pigmentation Laser for Face?
- Specialist Dermatologist Consultation with 3D Skin TestStart here to map pigment depth and triggers (UV, heat, hormones, inflammation) with a 3D scan. This helps tailor White Gloss settings, plan session timing, and set home care, which often improves clearance and lowers the risk of rebound.
- Hydrafacial for Face or BackDo this 7–10 days before White Gloss to lift dead cells and oil so laser light reaches pigment more evenly. Repeat 10–14 days after to rehydrate, ease flaking, and keep tone smooth.
- Pigmentation Barrier Skin BoosterThis booster strengthens the skin barrier and adds brightening antioxidants to slow new pigment formation. Used between laser sessions, it helps extend results and reduces chances of rebound darkening.
- LED TherapyRed and near‑infrared LED calms redness and supports recovery after laser work. It also lowers post‑inflammatory darkening risk and shortens downtime.
- IPL Hyperpigmentation Laser RemovalFor scattered sun spots or mixed pigment types, IPL adds a precise pass on residual browns and reds that White Gloss may not fully target. Schedule it 3–4 weeks apart from White Gloss for a layered, even‑tone plan.
