How It Works

The Alma Hybrid™ combines two laser technologies in a single treatment, something most laser platforms can't do.

Surface Renewal
Step 1

Surface Renewal

The CO2 laser works on the outer layer of your skin. It removes damaged and dead skin cells, smooths deep wrinkles, and breaks down scar tissue, triggering your skin's natural healing response from the outside in.

What You Get in One Treatment

Most patients need multiple devices or multiple appointments to address surface damage and deep collagen loss at the same time. TheAlma Hybrid™ does both in a single session, which means less time in the treatment chair and faster progress toward the skin you want. What it treats: ➢ Fine lines and deep wrinkles ➢ Acne scars and other scarring ➢ Sun damage and age spots ➢ Uneven tone and texture ➢ Cystic and active acne ➢ Pigment concerns ➢ Loss of firmness and collagen The biggest benefit is CONTROL. Because your provider at CSA can dial in the ratio of ablative to non-ablative energy, your treatment is built around your skin, your goals, and your schedule. Want stronger results with more downtime? We can do that. Need something gentler that fits your week? We can do that too.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your treatment settings. Some patients experience a few days of mild redness and swelling. Others with more aggressive settings may see moderate redness for up to a few weeks. Your provider will set expectations before your appointment so you can plan accordingly.
Most patients see noticeable improvement after just one session. For best results, a series of three treatments is typically recommended. Your provider will put together a personalized plan at your consultation.
The Alma Hybrid™ treatment is customized to suit individual patient needs, but sessions typically last between 60 to 90 minutes, including the time needed for numbing.
Most patients describe a feeling of warmth or heat in the treatment area. A topical anesthetic is applied beforehand to keep discomfort manageable.
The Alma Hybrid™ is effective for acne scars, rosacea, sun damage, uneven texture, fine lines, skin laxity, and collagen remodeling.
Most people bothered by fine lines, uneven texture, sun damage, acne scarring, or early signs of aging are excellent candidates for Alma Hybrid. Because the treatment combines two laser wavelengths in one device, your provider can adjust the intensity to match your skin type, your goals, and how much downtime you're comfortable with, from a lighter refresh to a more intensive single session treatment. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your skin and medical history to build a plan that's tailored specifically to you, rather than a one size fits all setting.
