Alma Hybrid Treatments

Combining a CO2 laser with a 1570 nm wavelength, as seen in the Alma Hybrid system, offers several advantages for skin treatment, by merging the benefits of both ablative and non-ablative laser technologies. Here’s how each component contributes and their synergistic effects:

CO2 Laser (Ablative)

• Deep Resurfacing: CO2 lasers are known for their effectiveness in deeply penetrating the skin, which is ideal for treating pronounced wrinkles, scars, and other significant textural issues.
• Collagen Stimulation: The intense heat generated by CO2 lasers removes the outer layers of damaged skin, inducing a strong healing response that stimulates the production of new collagen, leading to firmer and smoother skin.

1570 nm Laser (Non-Ablative)

• Gentle Heating: The 1570 nm wavelength targets the deeper layers of the skin without removing the surface layer, promoting collagen production and skin remodeling with minimal downtime.
• Versatility: This wavelength can address finer lines, mild scars, and improve overall skin tone and texture, making it suitable for less intensive rejuvenation needs.

Combined Benefits in the Alma Hybrid

• Enhanced Results: By combining both laser types, the Alma Hybrid provides a comprehensive treatment that addresses both surface-level and deeper skin issues simultaneously. This can lead to more significant rejuvenation effects as it tackles a broader range of skin concerns in a single session.
• Customised Treatments: The Alma Hybrid allows for the change of the ratio of ablative to non-ablative laser energy, which can be tailored to the specific needs of the patient’s skin, ensuring optimal outcomes while managing recovery time.
• Reduced Downtime: The combination also aims to reduce overall recovery time compared to traditional ablative treatments alone. By incorporating non-ablative elements, parts of the skin are left intact, which aids in quicker healing.
• Increased Safety and Comfort: The technology allows for precise control over laser intensity, minimizing the risk of side effects and discomfort during the procedure.

Integrating these technologies in the Alma Hybrid offers a powerful, versatile solution that maximises treatment effectiveness while minimizing recovery and risks associated with more invasive procedures. This approach is beneficial for patients seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation with manageable downtime.
