WHAT SINGLES OUT THE ALMA HYBRID TREATMENT?
Alma Hybrid revolutionized skin resurfacing treatments because of the combination of different energies that effectively treat skin concerns with minimal discomfort. This treatment unites:
The CO2 laser – its precise fractional energy has thermal, ablative and coagulative features.
The 1570nm laser – it regenerates the dermis with a powerful thermal feature. It is a strong non-ablative laser that doesn’t damage the epidermis or the surface layer of the skin.
IMPACT – this patented ultrasound technology is used for Trans Epidermal Delivery. Using acoustic pressure, it fuses the skin with important products through the micro-channels made by the CO2 laser.
A feature that unites these energies is HyGrid – a completely innovative technology that makes each treatment fully customized. It is precise and safe and enables presetting of both lasers properly. The presets include the level of ablative and non-ablative laser ratio and proper matrix proportion. This feature creates a balance between the results and downtime – each patient gets an individual skin treatment.
If for example, the patient has a darker skin tone, the skin therapist can lower the ablative element and make sure that the patient’s surface layer of the skin is safe. This significantly reduces downtime.
WHAT CAN ALMA HYBRID FOR THE BODY ADDRESS?
This innovative procedure combines 3 important elements:
Ablation – it resurfaces the skin
Thermal effect – it triggers the production of collagen and rejuvenates the deeper layers of the skin
Fusion – it delivers essential skin products and boosts the results even further
Alma Hybrid targets different types of scars and stretch marks on any body area and effectively reduces them. It also improves uneven skin texture.
Before the treatment, each pixel is preset in the means of ratio and parameters. This means that one pixel can be ablative and another non-ablative. It all depends on the severity of skin concerns. This advanced feature enables skin therapists to safely treat all body areas.
There are different Alma Hybrid for the body treatments:
Hybrid OScar
This procedure eliminates different scars – surgical, acne or trauma. It can target scars on any body area, the abdomen, arms, legs and others. During the treatment, the laser beams penetrate deep into the lower layers of the skin but with previously set parameters – density, the depth of penetration and the width of coagulation. All parameters can be customized to precisely target the patient’s scars concerns. The procedure is finished with IMPACT – it fuses the skin with important products and enhances the results.
The treatment achieves dramatic results – the patient can see improvements after 3 sessions.
SoftLift
This treatment can be done during a lunch break. It reduces acne scars and other skin lesions. There is no downtime required and the patients can continue with their busy schedules. The treatment is gentle and safe even for darker skin tones. The 1570nm laser triggers neocollagenesis and regenerates the dermis. The benefit of this procedure is that it doesn’t harm the epidermis. Once the collagen starts to build up, the skin becomes clear and smooth and acne scars get significantly less visible.
SoftLift is a minimally invasive treatment, safe and comfortable and achieves great results after one or two treatment sessions.
WHAT LIES BEHIND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ALMA HYBRID TREATMENTS?
Apart from combining different energies, Alma Hybrid treatments can be performed with the use of different applicators all depending on which skin concern is being treated. This way the patients can get the best results.
ProScan applicator is an innovative, automated scanner that quickly covers larger body areas. It delivers laser beams in an aligned manner and provides the effects of ablation, coagulation and heating all at the same time. It also consists of a cooling tip that eases the discomfort. It can be fully customized to target each patient’s specific skin concerns.
IMPACT is a special applicator that is used at the end of the treatment for Trans Epidermal Delivery. It fuses the skin with important ingredients and enhances the results. As its name says, it can penetrate through the epidermis and supply the skin with all ingredients it needs.
WHAT DOES ALMA HYBRID FOR THE BODY TREATMENT LOOK LIKE?
The first step on this amazing journey towards improved skin is a consultation with Lucia’s skin therapist. The therapist examines the skin on the patient’s problematic body area, for example, a surgical scar or stretch marks on the abdomen. The patient talks about his/her previous medical history and what he/she expects to achieve with the treatment.
The therapist determines which treatment would be the best to address these skin issues and creates a customized treatment plan for the patient. The treatment plan includes the number of sessions, the right applicator and the parameters of the laser.
The patient can get a patch test before the treatment if necessary.
Before the treatment, the therapist thoroughly cleans the targeted area and applies a topical anesthetic cream that makes the treatment more comfortable.
When the treatment starts, the therapist sets the parameters that are appropriate for the treatment and chooses the body area that will be treated. Then the therapist chooses the skin type and finishes all the preparations.
The treatment is performed by placing the applicator on the targeted area and emitting the laser energy. The therapist moves the applicator across the body area with a stamping technique and doesn’t overlap already treated parts.
In the end, the therapist finishes the treatment with the IMPACT applicator – a small amount of skin product is applied and massaged. The therapist then places the applicator on the targeted body area and moves it slowly across the area until the skin has completely absorbed the product. With this Trans Epidermal Delivery, the skin is fused with essential skin products that enhance the results of the treatment even more.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ALMA HYBRID FOR THE BODY TREATMENT?
One of the greatest advantages of Alma Hybrid treatment is the combination of three powerful energies. Alma Hybrid is the first laser ever that unites ablative and non-ablative features. This ensures supreme results with minimal side effects and downtime. It is so much more than standard fractional laser therapy because it can virtually preset every single pixel that penetrates the skin. This way the healthy skin tissue is preserved and the healing of the damaged tissue is much faster.
All this features enable full customization of every treatment to precisely suit each patient’s needs and expectations.
Alma Hybrid treatment is an advanced method for treating scars and stretch marks anywhere on the body which makes it one of the most popular aesthetic procedures.
The results are long-lasting and natural-looking – with the new collagen growth the skin gets clear of scars or stretch marks and becomes firmer and smoother. The patients can really achieve significant results.
The patient’s skin can completely transform which greatly contributes to the patient’s increase in confidence.
The future of aesthetic treatments has arrived with Alma Hybrid.
