How It Operates

During the first phase of treatment, the ablative laser component delivers targeted pulses of energy to create microchannels in the skin. This process removes damaged outer layers while triggering the skin’s natural healing response. Next, a non-ablative laser penetrates deeper layers without affecting the surface, stimulating collagen production and promoting tighter, smoother skin with an overall improvement in texture and tone. Only a fraction of the skin—about 10–40%—is treated during each session, which helps minimize downtime. Most patients require two to three sessions to achieve their desired results, depending on the specific condition being treated.

What Are the Key Features of the Alma Hybrid™ Laser?

‍Effective Treatment with Minimal Downtime
The Alma Hybrid™ laser integrates three powerful energies into one system, offering significant results while minimizing recovery time. Its combination of technologies allows for effective skin rejuvenation without the extended downtime often associated with traditional laser treatments.

Ablative and Non-Ablative Capabilities
By combining CO₂ and fractional 1570 nm laser energies, along with an ultrasound-based delivery system, the Alma Hybrid™ creates microchannels in the skin to facilitate product infusion and enhance treatment outcomes. This dual approach addresses both the outer and deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and improving texture, tone, and overall skin quality.

Treatment Customisation
Because it incorporates three distinct modalities, the Alma Hybrid™ laser can be tailored to suit a wide range of skin types and conditions. This flexibility allows practitioners to develop personalised treatment plans that effectively address individual concerns, ensuring optimal results for each patient.

What Can I Expect During the Procedure?

During your Alma Hybrid treatment, the device is gently positioned over the targeted area and delivers controlled pulses of energy deep into the skin. Most patients find the procedure comfortable, often describing only a mild warming sensation. Because the laser treats only a fraction of the skin—typically around 10–40% per session—it may take multiple sessions to fully address the untreated areas between these tiny micro-injuries. This fractional approach helps minimize downtime while promoting healthier, more refreshed skin over time.

What are the post-procedure expectations and homecare advice?

Expectations
After your procedure, you may experience a sensation akin to a mild sunburn. Redness and swelling are common and can persist for up to five days. Some light superficial bleeding or “oozing” may occur, and your skin could become flaky or dry as it naturally exfoliates. This peeling process is a normal part of healing, allowing new skin to replace older, damaged tissue.

Downtime
While this treatment does involve some downtime, recovery is generally quick. You may notice some improvement after the first session, but optimal results typically become apparent several weeks after completing the recommended series of treatments. Individual outcomes will vary, and following your provider’s post-care instructions is crucial for achieving the best results.
