The Alma Hybrid CO2 Resurfacing Laser

Live Better MD is delighted to offer skin resurfacing treatments using the Alma Hybrid CO2 laser, one of the latest devices in advanced laser treatment technology for skin resurfacing. It’s a powerful and proven rejuvenation technique to renew the skin altogether. 

What is the Alma Hybrid ?

Alma Hybrid utilizes a unique method for treating aesthetic skin concerns by

combining three energies. This new technology customizes each treatment,

making it the ultimate skin resurfacing therapy. Alma Hybrid combines an

ablative CO2 laser, a non-ablative 1570nm laser, and ultrasound technology. The Alma Hybrid laser utilizes revolutionary technology that combines both CO2 (ablative) and 1570 nm (non-ablative) fractionated lasers to allow for an

optimal blend of ablative, coagulative, and thermal effects on the skin in a

customized and highly precise treatment. This means that when the laser is

fired, there are microscopic columns of untreated tissue throughout the

treatment area instead of causing damage to the entire skin surface.

Fractional lasers were developed to shorten recovery time and reduce the risk of side effects, such as scarring, hyperpigmentation, and hypopigmentation.

CO2 lasers have been available for years to treat wrinkles, photodamaged

skin, scars, warts, linear epidermal nevi (birthmark), and rhinophyma (enlarged oil glands on the nose). The next generation CO2 lasers use very short-pulsed light energy (ultra pulsed) or continuous light beams delivered in a scanning pattern. Laser resurfacing can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, increase skin tone, and improve complexion, however, it cannot eliminate excessive or sagging skin. The Hy Grid technology within the Alma Hybrid laser allows our providers to customize your treatment based on your skin type, aesthetic goals, and expected downtime you will experience to

achieve your desired results.
