Santa Cruz’s Best-Kept Secret for Flawless Skin: The Truth About Harmony IPL Pigmentation Removal!
Living in Santa Cruz, where surfing and beach life are a way of life, our skin takes a hit from constant sun exposure. Whether it’s sun damage from long days in the water, redness from harsh ocean winds, or stubborn pigmentation from years of outdoor adventures, maintaining healthy, radiant skin is essential. At One Point Six Aesthetics, we understand the unique skincare needs of our coastal community and offer Harmony IPL treatments to combat sunspots, broken capillaries, fine lines and wrinkles and uneven skin tone - helping you achieve a clear, youthful complexion year-round.
Understanding Skin Pigmentation & Damage
Sun damage, pigmentation, and vascular concerns often develop from prolonged UV exposure, leaving behind sunspots, redness, and visible capillaries. Over time, these issues can worsen, affecting skin clarity and vibrancy. While these changes are natural, they don’t have to be permanent. At One Point Six Aesthetics, we offer the Harmony IPL system, featuring Dye-VL (IPL), VASCUPEN, and Clear Lift, to target a range of skin concerns effectively.
Introducing the Harmony IPL System at One Point Six Aesthetics
The Harmony IPL system by Alma is a state-of-the-art technology designed to treat sun damage, pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles and vascular issues using specialized handpieces:
Dye-VL (IPL): A targeted IPL treatment designed to reduce sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone.
VASCUPEN: Specifically designed to treat broken capillaries, redness, and angiomas, making it an excellent solution for individuals dealing with rosacea and facial redness.
Clear Lift: A non-ablative laser used to treat sunspots, increase collagen and can even be used for tattoo removal.
Unlike traditional IPL systems, the Dye-VL handpiece delivers more precise, effective pigmentation removal, while VASCUPEN effectively reduces capillaries and redness, and Clear Lift enhances collagen production for skin rejuvenation.
How Harmony IPL Works
During the treatment, the Harmony IPL device delivers controlled pulses of light that penetrate the skin’s layers. This light energy is absorbed by melanin (pigment) and hemoglobin (red blood cells) in the skin, breaking down excess pigment and reducing visible capillaries. Over time, these unwanted pigmentations are naturally flushed away by the body’s lymphatic system, revealing brighter, more even skin.

Post-Treatment & Results
Redness or warmth similar to a sunburn may appear but resolves within hours.
