Refresh and renew your skin with Alma Hybrid Laser Resurfacing at Natural Beauty Dermatology. This advanced treatment combines ablative and non-ablative laser technologies to improve skin tone, texture, and signs of aging with a treatment customized to your individual needs.
Alma Hybrid may help address concerns including fine lines, wrinkles, scars, acne scarring, brown spots, uneven texture, and mild skin laxity.

Alma Hybrid is an advanced fractional laser resurfacing system designed to rejuvenate damaged or aging skin with a highly customizable approach.
Unlike traditional resurfacing treatments that rely on a single type of laser energy, Alma Hybrid combines ablative and non-ablative laser technologies. This allows Dr. Del Priore to customize the treatment based on your individual skin concerns, treatment goals, and preferred recovery time.
By treating targeted areas of the skin while supporting the body’s natural renewal process, Alma Hybrid can help reveal smoother, firmer, brighter, and more even-looking skin.
Alma Hybrid can be customized to address a variety of common skin concerns, including:
Improve the appearance of mild skin laxity while supporting firmer, smoother-looking skin.
Reduce the visible appearance of certain scars by improving uneven skin texture and supporting natural skin remodeling.
Address acne-related texture concerns and the appearance of acne scars for smoother, more refined-looking skin.
Soften the appearance of visible wrinkles and signs of skin aging.
Improve delicate lines and textural changes to create a smoother, refreshed appearance.
Target visible sun damage, uneven pigmentation, and brown spots to help create a clearer, more even-looking complexion.
A consultation with Dr. Del Priore will help determine whether Alma Hybrid is appropriate for your specific skin concerns.


Alma Hybrid combines two complementary fractional laser technologies to provide a personalized resurfacing treatment.
The fractional CO₂ laser works at the surface of the skin, creating controlled treatment zones that encourage the skin’s natural renewal process.
At the same time, the non-ablative 1570nm laser delivers controlled thermal energy deeper into the skin while leaving the surface more intact.
By adjusting how these technologies are combined, treatment can be customized for different skin concerns and different levels of resurfacing.
This personalized approach allows Dr. Del Priore to balance the desired treatment intensity with your individual skin needs and recovery preferences.
Every patient’s skin is different. Your laser treatment should be too.
Alma Hybrid’s customizable technology allows Dr. Del Priore to adjust the balance of ablative and non-ablative treatment based on factors such as your skin condition, treatment area, desired results, and acceptable downtime.
Depending on your goals, treatment may range from a lighter resurfacing approach to a more intensive skin-renewal treatment.
The goal is not simply to treat the skin, but to create a personalized plan that delivers meaningful improvement while maintaining a natural-looking result.


Depending on your individual treatment plan, Alma Hybrid may help:
Because every patient’s skin and goals are different, results and the recommended number of treatments can vary.

Your Alma Hybrid experience begins with a consultation with Dr. Del Priore.
During your consultation, he will evaluate your skin, discuss the concerns you would like to improve, review your medical history, and determine whether laser resurfacing is appropriate for you.
Before treatment, the skin is carefully prepared and comfort measures may be used depending on the treatment intensity.
Dr. Del Priore will then customize the Alma Hybrid settings based on your skin and treatment goals.
Treatment time will vary depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
After treatment, you will receive personalized aftercare instructions to help support the healing and renewal process.
Recovery varies depending on the depth and intensity of your customized treatment.
A lighter resurfacing treatment may involve less recovery, while a more intensive treatment may require additional time for redness, sensitivity, peeling, or other temporary post-treatment effects to resolve.
Dr. Del Priore will discuss your expected recovery before treatment so you understand what to expect and can choose a treatment approach that works with your goals and lifestyle.
Following your aftercare instructions and protecting your skin from sun exposure are important parts of the recovery process.


Skin improvement occurs gradually as the treated skin heals and renews.
Depending on the treatment performed, you may begin noticing improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance as your skin recovers.
Additional improvement may continue over time as the skin’s natural renewal and remodeling processes continue.
Some patients may benefit from a single treatment, while others may be better suited for a series of treatments based on the condition being addressed and their desired results.
Dr. Del Priore will recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
