Alma Hybrid® is generally recommended for patients seeking advanced skin rejuvenation, scar revision or comprehensive skin resurfacing. Suitability depends on your skin condition, medical history, lifestyle and recovery expectations. Consultation and clinical assessment determine whether Alma Hybrid® is the most appropriate treatment pathway for your individual needs.

Alma Hybrid® may be recommended for a broad range of advanced skin concerns, including age-related skin change, wrinkles, acne scarring, surgical scars, pigmentation, sun damage, enlarged pores, skin laxity and overall skin texture. Following consultation and assessment, treatment recommendations are tailored according to your individual skin condition and long-term skin health objectives.

Unlike conventional CO₂ resurfacing alone, Alma Hybrid® combines ablative CO₂ technology with non-ablative 1570nm Erbium laser and regenerative delivery capabilities within a single platform. This allows treatment intensity, recovery and outcomes to be individually tailored, providing greater flexibility while supporting collagen remodelling and skin regeneration.

One of the advantages of Alma Hybrid® is its ability to tailor resurfacing according to your skin condition, treatment objectives, lifestyle and recovery preferences. Rather than offering a single treatment intensity, treatment may be customised across a spectrum of clinical approaches.

Treatment intensity may include:

Refresh
Gentle fractional skin renewal designed to improve skin quality with minimal downtime.

Restore
Moderate resurfacing addressing pigmentation, uneven texture and early signs of skin ageing.

Regenerate
Advanced resurfacing supporting significant photoageing, acne scarring, wrinkles and structural skin remodelling.

Reconstruct
Comprehensive nurse-led resurfacing designed for complex skin rejuvenation, advanced scar revision and severe skin change.

Following consultation and advanced skin assessment, your clinician will recommend the most appropriate treatment intensity for your skin and recovery expectations.

Yes. Treatment pathways may evolve as your skin improves. Some patients begin with a more conservative approach before progressing to more advanced resurfacing, while others may require only a single comprehensive treatment. Recommendations are continually reviewed to ensure they remain aligned with your skin condition and long-term objectives.

Treatment comfort varies according to the intensity of resurfacing performed. Topical anaesthetic, medical gas where appropriate, additional comfort measures including a Zimmer are used to ensure treatment is well tolerated. Your clinician will explain what to expect during consultation and discuss the most appropriate approach for your treatment.

Recovery depends on the treatment intensity selected. Mild resurfacing may involve only several days of redness and skin flaking, while more advanced treatments require a longer healing period. As a guide;

• Mild resurfacing: 1–3 days of redness & dryness
• Moderate resurfacing: 4–7 days of flaking & healing
• Deep resurfacing/scar revision: 7-14days of downtime.

Throughout recovery, personalised aftercare instructions and ongoing clinical support are provided to optimise healing and treatment outcomes.

Initial improvements become visible as the skin heals over the first several weeks. As collagen remodelling continues beneath the surface, improvements in skin texture, firmness and overall skin quality may continue developing for several months following treatment.

Treatment recommendations vary according to your skin condition, treatment objectives and the level of resurfacing performed. Some patients achieve their desired outcome following a single comprehensive treatment, while others benefit from a staged treatment program designed to progressively improve skin quality over time.

Yes. At Aestheté, Alma Hybrid® is frequently incorporated within broader regenerative treatment pathways. Depending on your clinical presentation, treatment may be combined with Factor4® regenerative therapy, SkinPen® Microneedling, LED Healite II Phototherapy and prescription skincare to support healing and optimise long-term outcomes.

At Aestheté, Alma Hybrid® is never prescribed in isolation or selected simply because advanced resurfacing is available. Every treatment begins with comprehensive consultation, advanced skin analysis and clinical assessment. Recommendations are guided by your skin condition, regenerative capacity, recovery expectations and long-term skin health objectives.

Suitability depends on several factors, including skin type, pigmentation risk, medical history and treatment goals. During consultation, your clinician will determine whether Alma Hybrid® is the most appropriate option or whether an alternative treatment pathway is likely to achieve a safer or more predictable outcome.

As a precaution, Alma Hybrid® laser resurfacing is not performed during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Your clinician can recommend alternative treatments where appropriate until treatment is considered suitable.

Careful aftercare plays an important role in healing and treatment outcomes. Your clinician will provide a personalised recovery plan, including professional skincare recommendations, sun protection guidance and advice regarding the gradual reintroduction of active skincare products. Review appointments may also form part of your treatment pathway to monitor healing and progress.

Advanced resurfacing requires more than advanced technology. At Aestheté, every Alma Hybrid® treatment is supported by comprehensive consultation, diagnostic skin analysis and an individually tailored treatment plan. By combining regenerative medicine, evidence-based recovery protocols and long-term skin health strategies, treatment is designed to deliver safer healing, more predictable outcomes and improvements that extend well beyond the treatment itself.
