What is Alma Hybrid?
Alma Hybrid is an advanced fractional skin-resurfacing system that combines a 10,600 nm ablative CO₂ laser with a 1570 nm non-ablative laser in one treatment platform. [almainc.com], [almalasers.com]
The CO₂ laser addresses the skin’s surface through resurfacing, while the 1570 nm laser creates a deeper thermal effect while leaving the epidermis intact. [alma-lasers.com.au]
Benefits
Treatment may help improve the appearance of:
Fine lines & wrinkles
Acne and other scars
Uneven skin texture
Signs of skin aging
Overall skin tone and appearance [almalasers.com], [alma-lasers.com.au]
Why Choose Hybrid Technology?
Unlike a traditional single-technology laser, Alma Hybrid allows your provider to customize the balance between ablative CO₂ resurfacing and non-ablative 1570 nm treatment. This provides greater flexibility in balancing the desired treatment intensity with recovery time. [almalasers.com], [alma-lasers.com.au]
POWERFUL RESURFACING. PERSONALIZED FOR YOUR SKIN.
Your provider will determine the appropriate treatment based on your skin, concerns, medical history, and desired recovery time.
Individual treatment plans, recovery, and results vary.
Which Skin Resurfacing Treatment Is Right for You?
| Treatment | How It Works | Often Considered For | Key Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alma Hybrid® | Combines ablative CO₂ + non-ablative 1570 nm laser energy | Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven tone & texture | Highly customizable: combines surface resurfacing with deeper thermal treatment and allows the provider to adjust the balance of the two technologies. [driteld.com], [hartwatera...hetics.com] |
| Traditional Fractional CO₂ | Uses ablative CO₂ laser energy to resurface microscopic areas of skin | Deeper wrinkles, significant sun damage, acne scars & texture | More intensive resurfacing may provide substantial correction, but typically comes with greater recovery than gentler approaches. [hartwatera...hetics.com] |
| Non-Ablative Fractional Laser | Heats underlying skin without ablating the surface | Skin rejuvenation with an emphasis on less-invasive resurfacing | Preserves the skin surface while producing a deeper thermal effect. Alma Hybrid's 1570 nm component works this way. [hartwatera...hetics.com] |
| Morp | Combines microneedling + radiofrequency energy | Skin laxity, tightening, texture, fine lines & acne scars | Targets deeper tissue remodeling and tightening rather than primarily resurfacing the skin with laser energy. [driteld.com], [berkshirea...hetics.com] |
