WHAT IS ALMA HYBRID LASER?

Laser resurfacing provides patients with a remarkable skin regeneration and is a popular therapy for people with deeper scars, such as acne scars, as well as ageing and sun-damaged skin. A matrix of light is used to treat your skin with a sophisticated fractionated carbon dioxide laser.

Alma hybrid is a revolutionary skin revitalization and scar therapy system. Because it combines ablative CO2 laser and non-ablative 1570nm laser – two energies that complement each other well – it is the optimum resurfacing treatment.

For best rejuvenation treatment outcomes, the Alma Hybrid laser combines three strong technologies:

The CO2 laser

For accurate focus and fragmentary therapy, the CO2 laser is the best combination of ablative, coagulative, and thermal laser technology.

1570nm laser

This is a non-ablative laser that produces a thermal effect that promotes fresh dermal synthesis while leaving the epidermis intact, resulting in minimal downtime.

Alma Ted Hair Restoration device used to Deliver cosmeceuticals with higher Absorption

Not only is the Alma TED used for Hair Restoration it can be also used in combination with the Alma Hybrid for next level results. After the Hybrid creates micro-channels, the TED utilizes ultrasonic technology that generates an acoustic pressure that allows cosmeceuticals to be delivered to the dermis with higher absorption creating better results. Dr. Milanes is the first physician in America to offer this treatment combination.

The combination of the Alma Hybrid and Alma TED will improve results in skin resurfacing, scar treatments and stretch marks.

We can build a bespoke treatment program based on the individual's skin type in addition to these potent technologies.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH ALMA HYBRID LASER TREATMENT?

After inspecting your skin, we will design a specific treatment plan after confirming that Alma Hybrid is the right treatment for you during a thorough consultation. Scarring, lines and wrinkles, mild to severe sagging, as well as sun spots and age spots, can all be treated with Alma Hybrid.

Your skin will be properly cleansed and a topical numbing cream will be used before your Alma Hybrid treatment begins. After the numbing cream has worn off, the Alma Hybrid hand-piece will be pointed towards the treatment area to deliver laser light accurately.

You may suffer reactions such as redness, swelling, or peeling after taking Alma Hybrid. During your consultation, we will discuss what to expect in terms of downtime and recuperation. As the skin heals and produces new collagen, the final results will enhance

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What happens in the course of the treatment?

A topical anesthetic will be given to the treatment area after your skin has been cleansed. The practitioner will next pass the laser across the treatment region once this has taken effect. After the therapy is completed, you can resume your routine activities.

What conditions can the Alma Hybrid address?

How many treatments will I need?

In your pre-treatment appointment, the amount of treatments you'll likely need will be addressed. Some patients with more severe scarring may require up to five treatments.

The downtime is greatly decreased due to the superior technology in this laser. The downtime varies since we can customize the treatment according to the YOUR needs.
