Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

2 months ago I had the Alma Harmony XL Pro IPL to treat sunspots on my arm. It was a demo and the settings clearly were WAY too strong and left me with white rectangular box shape burns. I am not sure if the Alma representative put incorrect settings or the device was defective and gave incorrect automated settings- either way it looks like I'm permanently scarred.
After the initial welts subsides (a few days) the rectangles were scabbed for about 2 weeks. Once the scabs fell off it left me with white rectangles on my arm...I am constantly wearing long sleeves to cover up the marks because of embarrassment and I get depressed looking at them :(
The Alma website says "The treatments are specially designed for patient comfort and are safe and effective for all skin types, including dark skin." The scary part is this happened because the settings were wrong and this was put in by an ALMA TRAINED REPRESENTATIVE...how can you be so negligent? Not sure how this happened to me but i will NEVER do an IPL treatment again!!
