Fractional CO2 Laser

Alma Hybrid fractional laser treatment combines ablative CO₂ and non-ablative 1570nm technology in one powerful session to target wrinkles, pigmentation, texture, and scarring—while minimizing downtime. With Alma’s HyGrid™ precision, this dual-action approach stimulates collagen deep below the surface and resurfaces the skin above, delivering smoother, brighter, more youthful skin safely for all skin tones.

About Alma Hybrid Fractional Laser Treatment

The Alma Hybrid laser is a next-generation fractional skin resurfacing system that combines the power of ablative CO₂ (10,600nm) with the gentle precision of a non-ablative 1570nm laser. This dual-action approach creates microscopic thermal channels in the skin to trigger deep collagen remodeling, while preserving surface integrity to support faster healing and reduced downtime.

Thanks to Alma’s proprietary HyGrid™ technology, your treatment is customized pixel by pixel—balancing resurfacing and rejuvenation in one session. The result: smoother texture, improved pigmentation, reduced wrinkles and acne scars, and visibly firmer skin.

Ideal for the face, neck, chest, or hands, Alma Hybrid treatments are safe for all skin tones—including ethnic and sensitive skin—and can be precisely tailored to your goals. At Dr. Babyface Med Spa, all procedures are performed by a board-certified nurse practitioner with advanced training in laser physics to ensure safety, comfort, and optimal results.

Whether you’re looking to correct sun damage, soften fine lines, or restore youthful radiance, Alma Hybrid offers a science-driven, minimally invasive solution for lasting transformation—with far less downtime than traditional CO₂ lasers.

How it works?

Alma Hybrid laser delivers dramatic skin rejuvenation by combining ablative CO₂ resurfacing with non-ablative collagen remodeling—giving you powerful results with less downtime. This treatment improves skin texture, reduces wrinkles, smooths acne scars, brightens pigmentation, and firms laxity. Thanks to HyGrid™ technology, every session is personalized for your skin type and goals—whether treating the face, neck, chest, or hands. Healing is faster and side effects are minimized compared to traditional CO₂ lasers.

This treatment is ideal for those seeking noticeable improvement in fine lines, sun damage, scarring, uneven tone, or early signs of aging. It’s safe for a wide range of skin tones—including deeper Fitzpatrick types—due to its customizable energy delivery. If you’re looking for a non-surgical option with clinical results and a manageable recovery, Alma Hybrid may be the solution. A consultation with our board-certified provider will determine the best plan for your skin.

Before your session, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. The Alma Hybrid laser uses precision microbeams to deliver ablative and non-ablative energy simultaneously, creating controlled microchannels that trigger skin renewal. Most sessions take 30–60 minutes depending on the area treated. You may feel warmth or a slight prickling sensation. Afterward, you’ll be able to return home and resume most light activities the same day.

You’ll start noticing improvement within 5–7 days, with continued collagen regeneration for up to 3–6 months. Expect mild redness and flaking similar to a sunburn for a few days post-treatment. Aftercare is simple: keep the skin hydrated, avoid sun exposure, and follow your provider’s recovery protocol. For best results, a series of 2–3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended. Your treatment plan may also be guided by Alma IQ™ skin analysis to monitor progress with clinical precision.

Quick answers to questions you may have

Unlike traditional CO₂ lasers that fully ablate the skin surface, Alma Hybrid uses a combination of ablative and non-ablative laser energy to treat only targeted fractions of the skin. This results in significant rejuvenation with less trauma, faster healing, and reduced risk of side effects like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). You still get dramatic improvement in texture, tone, and scarring—without the extended downtime of older technologies.

Discomfort is minimal. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Most patients describe the sensation as warm, prickly, or similar to a mild sunburn. Alma Hybrid’s smart energy modulation helps minimize heat buildup and post-treatment irritation for a smoother, more tolerable experience.

Downtime is typically 3–7 days, depending on the intensity of your session and skin type. You may experience redness, swelling, and flaking—similar to a sunburn. Unlike traditional resurfacing, Alma Hybrid’s dual-wavelength technology supports faster healing with less redness, peeling, or risk of pigment changes. Gentle skincare and sun avoidance are essential during recovery.

This treatment is ideal for individuals looking to improve fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, uneven tone, and dullness—all without surgery. Thanks to Alma’s HyGrid™ technology and intelligent energy control, it’s safe and customizable for all skin types, including deeper skin tones. A consultation is always recommended to tailor the protocol to your unique skin profile and goals.
