✨ Scar revision isn’t one-dimensional.
Research shows both non-ablative and ablative fractional lasers play vital roles in scar treatment. When used together, they can create synergistic effects beyond what either wavelength achieves alone.
Non-ablative: Helps reprogram and normalise scar tissue, improving elasticity and structure (Taudorf et al., 2015).
Ablative: Remodels collagen more effectively for deeper changes (Paasch & Said, 2020).
By combining these complementary pathways, you can deliver a more comprehensive approach to restoration.
That’s exactly what the Alma Hybrid was designed for, bringing both technologies into a single system.
