Laser Resurfacing - Bridge Therapy with Active FX™ ,Deep FX™ & Scaar™

Bridge Therapy is the family of fractional treatments.  Each procedure involves treating only a fraction of the skin's surface, leaving "bridges" of untouched skin to aid in the regeneration process.  Bridge therapy utilises UltraPulse™, the gold standard of CO₂ lasers, to deliver a variety of low downtime treatments that can be customised for each patient. 
Patients want the low downtime and safety of non-ablative treatment with results that are closer to traditional resurfacing using bridge therapy.

Active FX™,Deep FX™ and Scaar FX™: reduced downtime - remarkable results

The latest advance in the treatment of aging skin, Active FX™, Deep FX™ & Scaar FX™ are fractional laser procedures performed in a single treatment with minimal patient downtime. During fractional treatment, only a portion of the skin's surface is treated by the laser, this makes the healing process much quicker than with a full resurfacing procedure and enables patients to get back to their normal lifestyle sooner.

            Active FX™

• Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
• Causes immediate skin tightening
• Improves skin tone and texture - shrinks pore size, textural unevenness
• Collagen formation - restores skin to healthy state and achieves long term effect.

            Deep FX™

• Heavy lines and damaged skin
• Extreme photoageing
• Acne scarring
• Immediate collagen contraction and long-term collagen remodelling.

Scars are created when the healing process is overwhelmed and the collagen is created in a disorganized manner, causing thick scar tissue to form.  Scaar FX can help smooth the surface of the scar and improve the discoloration.  It permanently removed micro-columns of scar tissue and stimulates new organized collagen.

            Scaar FX™

• Keloid scars
• Hypertrophic
• Atrophic
• Burns

Deeper Wrinkles and scars have a dermal component and are most effectively treated by penetrating deep into the problem areas.  Higher percentage of untreated skin enables quicker healing.

The Active FX™,Deep FX™ & Scaar FX™ procedures work by applying CO₂ laser energy in a very narrow, high energy beam which smoothes out lines, wrinkles and scars and removes dark spots and other irregularities, while leaving untreated skin to ensure rapid healing. The CO₂ laser energy is ideal because it penetrates deep into the dermis, eliminating damaged cells and stimulating the growth of new collagen. The new collagen lifts and supports the skin's surface and produces satisfying results.

Deep FX™ & Scaar™ fractional laser resurfacing is for the treatment of heavier lines, wrinkles, scars and deeper dyschromias and significantly tightens skin.  Deep FX™ & Scaar FX™ has a smaller spot size than the Active FX™ and penetrates deeper into the skin.

Deeper wrinkles and scars have a dermal component and are most effectively treated by penetrating deep into the problem areas. A higher percentage of untreated skin enables quicker healing.

Pigmentation: The Alma Hybrid™ Laser can treat various types of pigmentation, including solar lentigines, and freckles. (not suitable for Melasma)
 

How does the Alma Hybrid™ work? 

Ablative laser technology: The ablative laser component of the Alma Hybrid™ Laser works by removing the outermost layers of skin to reveal fresh, new skin beneath. This recues the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin in the deeper layers of the skin.

Non-ablative laser technology: The non-ablative laser component of the Alma Hybrid™ Laser works by heating the deeper layers of the skin without damaging the outer layers. This triggers the body's natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin. This helps to tighten and firm the skin. 

Combination therapy: The combination of ablative and non-ablative laser technologies in the Alma Hybrid™ Laser allows for targeted and customized treatments. 

How does the Alma Hybrid™ laser compare with other laser resurfacing devices?

The Alma Hybrid™ Laser combines two different laser technologies, ablative and non-ablative, to offer a more comprehensive and effective skin resurfacing treatment. Here's why it is considered better than other laser devices on the market:

Efficacy: The combination of ablative and non-ablative laser technologies in the Alma Hybrid™ Laser provides a more comprehensive and effective treatment compared to other laser devices on the market.
