AFT

AFT (Advanced Fluorescent Technology)

The Harmony Medical, advanced fluorescent technology or AFT, is the very latest in photo-thermal treatments for vascular and pigmented lesions, as well as, photorejuvenation. Unlike other pulsed light systems, AFT is more of a flat wave instead of a spiked wave. Thus, the likelihood of adverse side effects, which can occur with other systems, is reduced.

Photo Rejuvenation is a non-invasive, highly targeted treatment that uses pulsed light energy to effectively treat irregular pigmentation and vascular lesions in most skin types. Treatments are fast and relatively painless. Downtime is minimal but may include slight to moderate redness immediately following the treatment and mild swelling. AFT pulsed light is not accompanied by an extended period of redness and swelling, nor does it involve ablation of the upper layer of skin.

It is generally recommended that a client have three to five treatments spaced two to four weeks apart. While some people may see significant improvement in fewer than three treatments, others may require more than five depending on the severity of photoaging present. It is imperative that individuals minimize sun exposure prior to and following treatments. Self-tanner should also be avoided for two weeks prior to treatment. Results of the procedure can be seen within four to seven days after the treatment, however, more significant improvements are seen when the series of treatments is complete.
