Book AppointmentTwo Lasers, One Transformative Treatment
The Alma Hybrid does something most single-laser systems can't: it combines CO2 and 1570 nanometer laser technology in a single treatment, allowing it to address multiple layers of the skin simultaneously. The CO2 component handles the surface, providing the kind of resurfacing that improves texture and tone. The 1570nm energy goes deeper into the dermis, driving collagen stimulation at a level that produces more structural change over time. Together, they work in a way that's more comprehensive than either technology alone.
What makes it especially appealing is the HyGrid technology that allows the treatment to be calibrated based on individual skin type, the specific concerns being addressed, and how much downtime the person is comfortable with. Someone who needs to be back to normal in a couple of days can receive a lighter treatment. Someone who wants more aggressive results and has the time to recover can have a more intensive session. That flexibility is a meaningful advantage over more rigid laser systems.
What Alma Hybrid Treats and Why It Works
Alma Hybrid is designed for people dealing with meaningful skin aging, not just surface-level concerns. It's particularly effective for deep-set wrinkles and fine lines, significant acne scars, overall skin tone irregularities, and loss of firmness that has progressed to a point where lighter treatments don't produce the results someone is looking for. Because it reaches deeper tissue layers than most non-ablative treatments, the collagen response it triggers is more robust, and the improvements tend to be more dramatic and longer lasting.
It can be used on the face, neck, and chest, and the customizable nature of the HyGrid system means that the treatment can be concentrated in areas of greater concern or distributed evenly depending on what the skin actually needs. Most people find that one to two sessions delivers a significant improvement, with results continuing to develop over the following months as new collagen forms.

Treatment Benefits
Deep Wrinkle & Scar Treatment
The combination of CO2 surface resurfacing and 1570nm deep tissue stimulation addresses both shallow texture and deep structural damage, making it effective for significant wrinkles, acne scars, and long-standing skin laxity.
Collagen Stimulation at Depth
The 1570nm laser component penetrates deeper than standard CO2 lasers, triggering collagen production in the deeper dermis and producing more substantial and longer-lasting structural skin improvements.
Customizable Treatment Intensity
HyGrid technology allows the provider to adjust depth, intensity, and coverage based on individual skin type, concerns, and desired downtime, making it a genuinely personalized treatment rather than a one-size approach.
Overall Skin Tone Improvement
By resurfacing the outer layer and remodeling the deeper dermis simultaneously, Alma Hybrid delivers comprehensive improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall radiance that most single-technology treatments can't match.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much downtime does Alma Hybrid require?
Downtime varies depending on the treatment intensity your provider selects. A lighter session may result in a few days of redness and mild peeling. A more intensive treatment can require five to seven days before the skin looks presentable again. Your provider will walk you through exactly what to expect based on the specific plan for your skin.
How many sessions are needed?
Many people see significant results from a single session. For more extensive concerns like deep acne scars or significant skin laxity, two sessions spaced two to three months apart often delivers more complete improvement. Your provider will recommend a plan based on your skin and goals.
What makes Alma Hybrid different from standard CO2 laser?
Standard CO2 lasers work primarily on the surface. Alma Hybrid adds a 1570nm laser that stimulates collagen at a deeper tissue level, delivering more comprehensive results than surface resurfacing alone. The adjustable HyGrid technology also gives the provider more control over the treatment than most CO2 systems allow.
When will results be visible?
Initial improvement in skin texture and tone is visible once the skin heals, typically within one to two weeks. The deeper collagen-building response continues for three to six months after treatment, so the final result looks considerably better than what's visible immediately after recovery.
