When it comes to skin resurfacing, not all treatments are created equal. At Midland Express Urgent and Family Care, we’re proud to offer Alma Hybrid™, one of the most advanced laser technologies available today for total skin rejuvenation. Whether you’re looking to smooth acne scars, fade wrinkles, or brighten dull skin, Alma Hybrid™ delivers powerful, customized results—with less downtime than traditional lasers.

Here’s why Alma Hybrid™ stands out as the ultimate skin resurfacing treatment—and the 5 benefits that make it a patient favorite.

5 Benefits of Alma Hybrid Treatments

‍

1. Dual Laser Technology for Maximum Results

Alma Hybrid™ is the first of its kind to combine two types of laser energy in one treatment:

• Ablative CO₂ Laser, which removes the top layers of damaged skin for surface-level renewal
• Non-Ablative 1570 nm Laser, which penetrates deeper to stimulate collagen and elastin production without harming the outer layer

By blending these two powerful technologies, Alma Hybrid™ targets both the surface and deep layers of your skin—making it far more effective than treatments that use only one wavelength.

‍

2. Treats a Wide Range of Skin Concerns

Acne Scars

Acne scars can linger long after breakouts have cleared, leaving behind unwanted reminders. Alma Hybrid™ is particularly effective in treating both atrophic scars (indentations) and hypertrophic scars (raised scars). The laser works by stimulating collagen production and resurfacing the skin, smoothing out uneven textures, and reducing the appearance of scars over time. Alma Hybrid™ helps create smoother, more even skin—leaving you with clearer, more youthful-looking skin.

‍

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Aging causes the skin to lose collagen and elastin, leading to the development of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. Alma Hybrid™ uses a combination of ablative and non-ablative lasers to resurface the skin and stimulate collagen production deep within the dermis. This process smooths out fine lines, tightens sagging skin, and gives you a more youthful appearance without the need for invasive surgery.

‍

Uneven Skin Tone and Pigmentation

Sun damage, age spots, and other pigmentation issues can make your skin tone uneven and blotchy. Alma Hybrid™ effectively targets these concerns by breaking down pigment clusters and resurfacing the skin for a more even complexion. The treatment helps lighten hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and freckles, restoring your skin’s natural glow and radiance. With consistent treatments, Alma Hybrid™ delivers a brighter, more uniform skin tone.

‍

Stretch Marks

Stretch marks occur when the skin stretches quickly, causing collagen fibers to break, leading to visible marks. Alma Hybrid™ treats stretch marks by resurfacing the skin and stimulating collagen growth in the affected areas. It works to reduce the appearance of stretch marks by improving texture and color, leaving behind smoother, more even-toned skin. This treatment can be used on various parts of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, and hips.

‍

Enlarged Pores

Enlarged pores are often caused by excess oil, aging, and loss of skin elasticity. Alma Hybrid™’s fractional laser technology targets the pores, helping to shrink their appearance by stimulating collagen and tightening the skin around them. With regular treatments, pores become less noticeable, and your skin texture becomes smoother and more refined.

‍

Sun Damage and Age Spots

Years of sun exposure can lead to dark spots, uneven pigmentation, and skin damage. Alma Hybrid™ is an excellent option for targeting sunspots, age spots, and other forms of sun damage. By using its fractional CO₂ laser technology, Alma Hybrid™ breaks down damaged skin and promotes the regeneration of healthy skin, giving you a brighter, clearer complexion free from the effects of years of sun exposure.

‍

Skin Laxity and Sagging

As we age, skin loses its elasticity, leading to sagging, particularly in areas like the jawline, neck, and cheeks. Alma Hybrid™ stimulates collagen production deep within the dermis, helping to tighten loose skin and improve skin firmness. It is an excellent treatment for those seeking a non-surgical facelift alternative that can restore youthful tightness and definition to the skin.

‍

3. Customizable for Every Skin Type and Lifestyle

No two patients are the same—and Alma Hybrid™ doesn’t treat them like they are. Your provider can adjust the treatment’s intensity based on your skin type, concerns, and available downtime. Whether you’re seeking a light refresh or a deeper resurfacing treatment, Alma Hybrid™ gives you the flexibility to choose.

Bonus: If you want to enhance results and speed healing, you can add PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy to your session for even greater skin regeneration.

‍

4. Shorter Downtime, Long-Lasting Results

One of the biggest drawbacks of traditional laser resurfacing is the long recovery period—often 2 weeks or more. With Alma Hybrid™, you’ll experience significantly less downtime, usually around 3–7 days depending on the intensity of your treatment. This makes it a realistic option for busy individuals who want dramatic results without major disruption to their lives.

Plus, your results continue to improve over time as your body builds new collagen, with most patients seeing visible changes for several months after treatment.

‍

5. Safe and Comfortable Experience

Despite its power, Alma Hybrid™ is surprisingly gentle on the skin. A topical anesthetic is applied beforehand to minimize discomfort, and most patients report only mild warmth or tingling during the session. Because the treatment is fractionated—meaning it treats only a portion of the skin at a time—it allows surrounding tissue to speed up healing and reduce risks.
