Non-Surgical Procedures Alma Hybrid Laser Resurfacing

The Alma Hybrid is a dual-wavelength fractional laser used to treat texture, fine lines, scarring, pigmentation and other skin concerns. Two wavelengths — CO₂ and 1570nm — calibrated by your clinician to your skin and your concerns.

What is the Alma Hybrid?Two wavelengths. One dual-wavelength treatment.

The Alma Hybrid is one of the most advanced fractional laser platforms available today — combining ablative CO₂ and non-ablative 1570nm energy in a single, customisable treatment. Used independently or together, it resurfaces, remodels and rejuvenates skin at varying depths.

From fine lines and sun damage to scarring, stretch marks and stubborn pigmentation, the Alma Hybrid is used to address a range of skin concerns — with treatment depth, intensity and protocol determined by your clinician at consultation, based on your skin type and goals.

Outcomes vary between patients. Skin laser treatments carry risks including, but not limited to, redness, swelling, prolonged healing, changes in skin pigmentation, infection and scarring. Your clinician will discuss these with you in detail at consultation.

IndicationsWhat the Alma Hybrid treats.

  • Fine lines & wrinkles — softens lines around the eyes, mouth and forehead by stimulating new collagen at depth.
  • Acne & surgical scars — resurfaces and remodels scar tissue, whether depressed, raised or pigmented, restoring smoother texture.
  • Pigmentation & sun damage — targets melasma, sun spots and uneven tone for a brighter, more even complexion.
  • Stretch marks — improves the depth, colour and texture of striae on the abdomen, thighs, breasts and arms.
  • Skin laxity & texture — tightens and refines the surface of the skin while improving overall firmness and elasticity.
  • Enlarged pores — minimises the appearance of pores by remodelling the surrounding dermal support.
  • Photoageing — helps reduce the visible effects of sun exposure, improving tone, texture and overall skin health.
  • Overall rejuvenation — a full-face fractional resurfacing protocol used to address multiple skin concerns in one treatment.

How it worksTwo wavelengths working together.

Most fractional lasers do one job — they either treat the surface or the deeper layers. The Alma Hybrid does both at the same time, with independent control over each wavelength.

Your clinician customises the energy, depth and density of every pass, so the treatment is calibrated to your skin type, your concerns, and how much downtime you can tolerate.

  • Targets every skin layer in one session — from the epidermis to the deep dermis
  • Independent CO₂ & 1570nm control — true treatment customisation
  • Suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns, including darker skin tones
  • Faster healing and less downtime than traditional CO₂ resurfacing alone

CO₂ — 10,600nm (ablative): resurfaces the skin’s surface and triggers new collagen.
1570nm (non-ablative): remodels the deeper layers and tightens, without breaking the surface.

Why The Coastal ClinicAdvanced technology in experienced hands.

The Alma Hybrid is one of the most sophisticated lasers in aesthetic medicine — and the results you achieve depend as much on the clinician as the technology.

  • Physician-led, clinically supervised — treatments are overseen by our specialist plastic surgeons and delivered by trained dermal clinicians, for more predictable outcomes.
  • Surgical & non-surgical under one roof — Alma Hybrid sits alongside an integrated surgical and aesthetic pathway at The Coastal Clinic.
  • Tailored, not one-size-fits-all — every treatment protocol is customised to your skin, concerns and recovery preference, never a generic setting.
  • End-to-end care — from consultation through to aftercare and skincare support, including LED HEAL therapy and clinical-grade post-laser skin programs.

Frequently AskedYour questions, answered.

Is the Alma Hybrid suitable for my skin type?

The Alma Hybrid is suitable for most skin types, including darker skin tones, thanks to its independent wavelength control and customisable energy delivery. Your dermal clinician will assess your skin (Fitzpatrick type) and recommend the most appropriate protocol during your consultation.

The Coastal ClinicRecovery & aftercare.

Downtime depends on the depth and intensity of your treatment. A lighter 1570nm session may involve 24–48 hours of redness, while a deeper CO₂ resurfacing typically involves 3–7 days of redness and gentle peeling as the skin renews.

Your clinician will provide a tailored aftercare plan, which may include gentle cleansing, intensive hydration, strict sun protection and, where appropriate, supportive treatments such as LED HEAL therapy and clinical-grade post-laser skincare. Avoid direct sun exposure and follow your clinician’s instructions closely to support healing.

As with any laser treatment, there are risks — including redness, swelling, prolonged healing, changes in skin pigmentation, infection and scarring. These will be discussed with you at consultation.
