Erase Your Skin’s Imperfections with Harmony

Q. I have intense acne scarring on my face as well as brown sunspots. I have been to two different doctors and they have told me two different things. One says to use the Harmony laser and the other recommended the Prolite II. I cannot afford both treatments, which one will give me the desired results for the least amount of money?

A. While scarring and skin discolorations are embarrassing and bothersome, they can easily be made less noticeable. According to Dr. Nicolette Picerno, “The Harmony laser is the best option. The newest addition to the Harmony laser is a special Pixel hand piece. This piece is specifically designed for the erasure of scarring, wrinkles and skin discoloration.”  The results seen so far using the Pixel hand piece have been beyond satisfactory. The Pixel laser can be used on a plethora of things such as fine lines, pore size, skin texture, skin discoloration and acne scars.
