Alma Hybrid

Alma Hybrid™ Consultations

The Alma Hybrid^™ system combines two distinct laser wavelengths, a CO2 laser and a 1570 nm laser, into a single platform. This approach merges aspects of both ablative and non-ablative technologies, providing a versatile tool for aesthetic consultations. Understanding how each component functions is key to discussing your potential consultation plan.

CO2 Laser (Ablative Component)

• Focus on Skin Surface: The CO2 laser component is an ablative laser. This means it works by delivering precise energy to the skin’s surface. It is often discussed in consultations for individuals concerned with the appearance of pronounced wrinkles, scars, and other significant textural irregularities.
• Supporting the Skin’s Natural Processes: The energy from the CO2 laser creates a thermal effect on the outer layers of the skin. This initiates a natural healing response, a process that is associated with the body’s own collagen production.

1570 nm Laser (Non-Ablative Component)

• Deeper Thermal Effect: The 1570 nm wavelength is non-ablative, meaning it warms the deeper layers of the skin without affecting the outermost surface. This process supports the skin’s natural renewal functions. Consultation plans utilising this component are often designed with minimal social downtime in mind.
• Versatility in Consultation: This wavelength allows for discussions around addressing the appearance of finer lines, mild scarring, and overall skin tone and texture. It is suitable for consultations where a less intensive approach is preferred.

The Synergistic Approach of the Alma Hybrid™

• A Comprehensive Platform: By integrating both laser types, the Alma Hybrid^™ provides a comprehensive platform for aesthetic consultations. It allows clinicians to discuss options that address both surface and deeper skin concerns, enabling a broad discussion of aesthetic goals.
• Customised Consultation Plans: A key feature of the Alma Hybrid^™ is the ability to adjust the ratio of ablative to non-ablative energy delivered. This allows your clinician to tailor a consultation plan to your specific skin concerns and personal goals, while also carefully managing the expected post-session recovery.
• Managing Post-Session Downtime: The combined technology is designed to offer a more manageable recovery period compared to using traditional, fully ablative laser sessions alone. By incorporating non-ablative energy, the impact on the skin’s surface can be moderated, which supports the recovery process.
• A Focus on Safety and Comfort: The technology enables precise control over the intensity and depth of the laser energy. This precision is a key factor in managing potential side effects and ensuring patient comfort during a session is prioritised.

The integration of these technologies in the Alma Hybrid^™ offers a highly versatile platform for clinicians and patients to explore. It allows for detailed, personalised discussions about aesthetic goals and the creation of a plan that considers both the desired approach and a manageable post-session experience. This makes it a valuable option for individuals seeking to understand the possibilities for their skin in a controlled, professional setting.
