Lip Rejuvenation with CO₂ Laser (Alma Hybrid)

The texture and hydration of the lip, the small vertical lines, the loss of definition of the vermilion border, the dull colour and the lack of firmness associated with the ageing of the lip tissue.

Alma Hybrid allows the ablative CO₂ to be combined with the non-ablative 1570 nm laser in a single treatment. The CO₂ renews the surface and the 1570 nm stimulates collagen at depth without breaking the skin barrier. The result is greater regenerative stimulation with less surface damage, which translates into better results, faster recovery and a lower risk of complications such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Yes, but in a subtle and natural way. The increase comes from the stimulation of the skin's own collagen and the improvement in tissue firmness, not from the introduction of material. If a significant increase in volume is sought, the indicated treatment is the hyaluronic acid filler, which can be combined with the laser.

Yes, they are complementary treatments. The filler provides volume and projection, while the laser improves the quality, texture and definition of the tissue. The order and timing between the two is planned during the assessment.

It is essential to mention this during the assessment. In these cases, preventive antiviral treatment is prescribed before the procedure to avoid an outbreak after the laser.

It will depend on the parameters applied and the individual response of each patient. It is common to have inflammation and flaking during the first few days, and the hybrid technology helps shorten this period compared to a traditional CO₂.

The lip begins to improve once the initial recovery process is complete. Afterwards, the results continue to evolve over the following weeks and months due to the stimulation of new collagen.

It will depend on the initial condition of the lip and the aim of the treatment. In many cases a single session offers a noticeable improvement, although an additional or maintenance session may be considered. It is determined on a personalised basis during the assessment.
