Why Choose Alma ClearLift?

Skin resurfacing without recovery time

Unlike CO₂ laser or other ablative options, ClearLift delivers skin rejuvenation from the deeper layers without injuring the skin’s surface, so you can return to your routine quickly.

Targets widespread skin concerns

Smooths fine lines, improves skin texture, addresses pigmentation, reduces acne scars and sun damage, tightens lax skin, and even diminishes stretch marks.

Boosts collagen production

Using painless pulses, this laser treatment encourages natural collagen regeneration — the backbone of skin tightening, elasticity and skin health.

Suitable for all skin types & tones

The adjustable wavelengths accommodate lighter and darker skin, meaning you can finally receive effective laser treatment with reduced risk of side effects like hyperpigmentation.

Customizable treatment plans

Each session fits within a carefully designed treatment plan, tailored to your concerns — from boosting firmness to clearing pigmentation or targeting lesions.
