Hybrid Lift - CO2 Laser + Non-ablative Laser

The skin of the face is particularly exposed to external factors such as UV radiation, pollution, and temperature changes. All of this leads to its weakening, loss of firmness, and the appearance of the first signs of aging. One of the aesthetic medicine treatments that effectively restores a youthful appearance to the skin is hybrid laser facial lifting with the use of Alma Hybrid laser.

How does hybrid lifting work?

The key element of the Alma Hybrid laser is the innovative HyGrid hybrid applicator, which allows for the desired combination of CO2 ablative and non-ablative methods on selected areas of the skin during a single treatment session.

Thanks to this, it is possible to reap the benefits of both lasers during one session, leading to even better treatment outcomes. Hybrid™ combines both technologies in a unique way, as through the special HyGrid™ function, it is possible to act on the skin with two laser beams simultaneously. Furthermore, HyGrid allows for the individual selection of the optimal CO2 ablative and non-ablative ratios in a matrix with precise proportions, maximizing the impact of each laser wave. Treatments performed this way are highly effective because each technology has its optimal effect on the skin, allowing for achieving spectacular results.

By delivering two laser beams side by side using an advanced galvanometric scanner, HyGrid enables exceptional fractional treatment:

• Ablative fractional CO2 laser works superficially and vaporizes old layers of the epidermis, making way for new, fresh skin,
• Non-ablative fractional fiber laser creates deeply coagulated microthermal zones in the dermis, heating the deep layers of the skin, rejuvenating and firming it from within.

The Alma hybrid laser is classified as a resurfacing laser. It can be customized for treating superficial, deep, or all skin layers. Because the laser combines ablative and non-ablative technologies, it can be used to treat a wide range of skin problems, including those related to aging, sun damage, and other factors.

Effects of hybrid facial lifting:

The treatment is completely safe, and its effects include:

• Laser removal of dynamic and static wrinkles - The treatment effectively smooths both shallow dynamic lines and deeper wrinkles, making the skin look younger and more radiant.
• Improvement of facial contour - Skin firming and stimulation of collagen production help restore clearer facial contours, preventing sagging.
• Removal of acne, chickenpox, burn, surgical, or injury scars - The treatment smooths and flattens scars, improving their structure and skin tone, making them less visible.
• Increased skin firmness - Intense skin stimulation leads to increased elasticity, making it tighter and more elastic.
• Deep collagen remodeling - The treatment stimulates the skin to regenerate and rebuild collagen fibers, making it more resistant to aging processes.
• Skin lifting - The skin is noticeably tightened and lifted, giving the face a younger, more rested appearance.
• Removal of deep pigmentation and melasma - The treatment effectively lightens and evens out the skin tone, reducing dark spots and discoloration.
• Skin brightening and improvement of skin tone - The skin regains a healthy glow, looks fresh and radiant, further emphasizing its rejuvenated appearance.

At Beauty Embassy, we care about the full comfort of our clients, so the treatment is preceded by a detailed consultation during which specialists tailor the laser parameters to the individual needs and expectations of the patient. Thanks to the individual adjustment of treatment parameters, hybrid lifting is suitable for people of different skin types, ages, and aesthetic concerns.

Next-generation hybrid technology

Removal of scars with the OScar hybrid laser (Alma Hybrid™) is the most advanced and effective method for treating all types of scars – acne scars, post-traumatic scars, postoperative scars, and burn scars – based on the synergy of two advanced laser technologies: ablative and non-ablative. The combination of these two types of energy allows for simultaneous regeneration of deep skin layers and improvement of its structure and color at the epidermal level. As a result, the procedure provides comprehensive skin reconstruction and effective smoothing of even difficult, entrenched scars.

Currently, this is the most advanced laser therapy technology for scar treatment, delivering spectacular and lasting results without the need for long recovery periods.

Why is the hybrid laser so effective?

The success of scar treatment depends on the effective penetration of energy into the dermal layer of the skin. Traditional fractional lasers – ablative or non-ablative – only acted in one layer, offering limited regenerative effects.

The Alma Hybrid™ hybrid technology allows for the simultaneous use of two types of energy:

• Ablative CO₂ laser → vaporizes tissue fragments, creates ablative microzones with coagulated edges, initiates epidermal remodeling, and smoothes the skin surface.
• Non-ablative erbium-glass laser (1540 nm) → creates thermal coagulation zones deep in the dermal layer, activating fibroblasts for synthesizing new collagen and rebuilding the extracellular matrix without damaging the skin surface.

Thanks to the ability to independently control the length, depth, and density of pulses, the therapy is maximally precise and individually tailored to the type and depth of the scar. The result is a multi-stage skin reconstruction, leading to visible improvement in both structure and color.

Who is the procedure recommended for?

The OScar hybrid laser treatment is recommended for individuals with visible scars who want to achieve maximum aesthetic and qualitative effects while ensuring safety and a short healing period:

• acne scars – atrophic, irregular, discolored,
• post-traumatic scars – resulting from injuries, mechanical traumas,
• burn scars – including extensive ones that are difficult to treat with other methods,
• postoperative scars – including those from cesarean section, plastic surgeries, orthopedic surgeries,
• stretch marks – as a form of extensive dermal scars.

The therapy can be used on the face and body – including in anatomically challenging locations (e.g., back, décolletage, arms, thighs).

Skin types – who is it safe for?

The Alma Hybrid™ hybrid laser can be used on individuals with light to medium skin tones (phototypes I–III). For darker phototypes (IV–V), individual qualification and caution are necessary due to the risk of discoloration.

The procedure is suitable for:

• mature skin with weakened scars,
• sensitive skin prone to slow healing,
• patients expecting significant improvement without aggressive surgical intervention.

Effects of scar removal with OScar hybrid technology

The treatment impacts both the skin surface and its deep layers, providing complete skin remodeling – structural, functional, and aesthetic:

• Scar flattening and smoothing → scars become less visible, with a more uniform and smooth surface
• Restoration of natural skin tone → pigmentation evenness, lightening of discolorations and redness
• Stimulation of collagen and elastin production → skin gains firmness, elasticity, and resistance to damage
• Deep remodeling of the dermal layer → rebuilding the extracellular matrix, stimulating cellular regeneration
• Improvement in skin tension and density → treated areas become more compact and better integrated with healthy tissue
• Visible reduction of all types of scars → both fresh and long-standing, regardless of their cause

Treatment frequency – therapy plan

To achieve full skin remodeling effects, a series of 2–4 treatments is recommended:

• treatments performed every 6–8 weeks,
• initial visible effects appear after 2–3 weeks,
• collagen remodeling continues for up to 6 months after the last treatment.

Each treatment is preceded by a consultation to individually adjust the parameters and treatment protocol.

OScar Procedure - Advanced Skin Regeneration Therapy

The OScar Procedure is an advanced method for reducing stretch marks, based on the synergistic action of two laser technologies. It combines the ablative CO₂ laser and the non-ablative 1570 nm laser, allowing for simultaneous removal of damaged epidermis and intensive regeneration of the deeper layers of the skin. This combination therapy is effective in reducing all types of stretch marks, regardless of their color or age.

How does the hybrid laser technology work?

The ablative CO₂ laser precisely removes the superficial layer of the skin, stimulating regenerative processes and smoothing the structure of stretch marks. The non-ablative 1570 nm laser penetrates deep into the dermis, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. The ability to adjust parameters such as penetration depth, coagulation width, and pulse density allows for individual settings tailored to the advancement of stretch marks and the patient's skin type.

Effects of the treatment on stretch marks:

• Reduced visibility of stretch marks - the skin becomes more uniform in color and texture
• Stimulation of collagen and elastin production - the skin rebuilds and becomes firmer
• Improved skin elasticity and tension - the skin is more elastic and smooth
• Texture smoothing - stretch marks become less noticeable to the touch
• Long-term skin regeneration - gradual improvement in appearance even months after the procedure

Stretch marks are permanent skin damage, so to achieve maximum effects, a series of 3-5 treatments is recommended at intervals of 4-6 weeks. The gradual stimulation of the skin for regeneration allows for long-lasting and natural results.

The OScar Procedure is one of the most effective methods for treating stretch marks, providing comprehensive skin regeneration and long-lasting effects without extended recovery time.
