Hybrid Lift: Future-Proofing ™ Skin with Alma Hybrid Meeting the rising demand for regenerative laser treatments
S
earch interest for CO₂ laser treatments has surged by 54% in Australia over the past year, signalling a shift in what patients now expect – visible results, minimal downtime, and treatments backed by real science. For clinics, this presents both an opportunity and a challenge: how to offer the transformative results associated with CO₂ lasers while maintaining patient comfort and accessibility. Alma Hybrid™ and its signature Hybrid Lift™ protocol meet this challenge by combining advanced laser technologies with a regenerative approach to skin ageing.
Topical applied post-treatment with fractional ablative CO2 .
Hybrid supports both immediate rejuvenation and deeper biological repair – aligning with the growing skin longevity movement.
Three Technologies, One Regenerative Outcome Alma Hybrid uniquely combines: • CO₂ (10,600 nm) – precise ablation to smooth texture and initiate a controlled wound-healing cascade that signals collagen renewal (Xu et al., 2011). • 1570 nm Non-Ablative – deep dermal thermal stimulation to activate fibroblasts and elastin-producing pathways without surface disruption (Paasch & Said, 2020). • IMPACT™ Ultrasound – drives topicals through CO₂-created microchannels to enhance delivery and increase bioavailability (Shenhav et al., 2023). Together, they create a layered skin response – resurfacing the epidermis, restructuring collagen and elastin in the dermis, and amplifying topical absorption for better clinical outcomes.
Skin Longevity: The New Patient Priority Aesthetic medicine is moving from “erase and repair” toward long-term skin resilience. Fractional CO₂ has been shown to trigger a heat-shock response (HSP70) within hours, priming skin to regenerate rather than scar (Xu et al., 2011; Paasch et al., 2010). When combined with the dermal stimulation of 1570 nm, Alma
Impact acts as a mechanical aid to enhance absorption of topicals.

CO2 Temperature Gradient
Why Hybrid Lift™ Changes the Conversation Hybrid Lift is a fully customisable rejuvenation protocol – not just a preset – allowing clinicians to switch between side-by-side, sequential or wavelength-prioritised modes and tailor energy, density and laser ratio to Fitzpatrick type, indication severity and downtime tolerance. Delivered as two to three moderate sessions rather than a single aggressive treatment, it achieves high-impact rejuvenation with reduced recovery and higher patient satisfaction (Shenhav et al., 2023). For more mature skin, sequential delivery – where CO₂ is fired first and 1570nm follows immediately after – has been shown to create deeper, more uniform coagulation zones while maintaining safety (Snast et al., 2021).
A Strategic Advantage for Clinics
By offering Alma Hybrid, clinics position themselves at the intersection of consumer demand and regenerative science. Patients no longer have to choose between efficacy and downtime – and clinics gain a differentiated, highvalue treatment pathway that builds trust, loyalty, and repeat bookings.
