What Is a Laser?

A laser is a device that delivers concentrated light energy at a specific wavelength.
Each wavelength interacts differently with the skin depending on:

  • Target chromophore(water, pigment, blood, etc.)
  • Depth of penetration
  • The laser medium(solid, liquid, or gas)
  • Energy delivery type(fractionated vs non-fractionated)

Gas-based lasers like CO₂ produce wavelengths ideal for water absorption—making them one of the most effective tools for skin resurfacing for wrinkles, fine lines, scars, stretch marks, Skin laxity, and for treatment of some benign epidermal growths.

What Makes the Alma Hybrid™ Dual Wavelength CO₂ Laser Different?

The Alma Hybrid is an advanced resurfacing platform that combines:

1. A Fractional CO₂ Wavelength (10,600 nm)

  • Ideal for water absorption in the skin
  • Creates controlled skin resurfacing for resurfacing
  • Excellent for texture, fine lines, deep wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation

2. A nonfractional 1570nm Wavelength

  • Targets the dermis while protecting the epidermis, creating controlled thermal energy that stimulates collagen contraction and new collagen production for firmer, healthier skin.
  • Provides a noticeable skin-tightening and lifting effect with little to no downtime, making it an excellent “lunchtime” rejuvenation treatment.
  • Improves fine lines, skin texture, enlarged pores and skin laxity through natural collagen remodeling for gradual, long-lasting results.

2. A 1570 nm Non-Ablative Wavelength

  • Penetrates deeper into the dermis
  • Stimulates collagen remodeling
  • Improves laxity and scars with reduced risk of surface downtime
  • Helps preserve fat by focusing energy in the superficial epidermis and controlled dermal layers, minimizing fat loss—a known risk of older CO₂ technologies

Why This Matters

 The Alma Hybrid system allows your provider to customize both depth and intensity, offering resurfacing options ranging from:

  • Low-downtime treatments (24–72 hours)for busy lifestyles
    to
  • More Significant skin rejuvenation with 10–14 days of downtime, for significant texture improvement and visibly younger-looking skin.

This dual-wavelength technology sets it apart from traditional CO₂ lasers, which are often non-fractionated, lack depth customization, and do not offer the additional 1570 nm wavelength for safer dermal stimulation and improved lifting effects
