What Is the Alma Hybrid?
Dual-Wavelength Fractional Resurfacing Technology
The Alma Hybrid is a synchronized dual-wavelength fractional laser that combines 10,600nm CO2 (ablative, targets water in tissue for precise surface removal) with 1570nm (non-ablative, penetrates deeper to stimulate dermal collagen without removing surface tissue). By delivering both wavelengths simultaneously in a fractional pattern, the Hybrid achieves deep tissue remodeling while preserving enough surrounding tissue for faster healing than traditional fully ablative CO2. Sioux City patients describe the Alma Hybrid as offering the results approaching full CO2 resurfacing with a recovery experience closer to a medium-depth procedure — typically five to seven days of social downtime rather than two to three weeks.
Synchronized CO2 (ablative) + 1570nm (non-ablative) in one pass
Deeper dermal remodeling than non-ablative treatments alone
Fractional delivery — islands of untreated skin accelerate healing
5–7 day social downtime (vs. 2–3 weeks for full CO2)
Customizable blend ratio for ablation vs. non-ablative component
Effective for resurfacing, scar revision, and deep anti-aging
