ClearLift is a non-ablative approach to laser skin resurfacing, so you will not have post-treatment redness as you would with Halo. The unique and innovative technology only from Alma Lasers works by focusing the energy beneath the epidermis. This creates a controlled dermal wound while leaving the epidermis intact. The wound healing process stimulates growth of new collagen as well as contraction and tightening of the tissue. All the stages of healing and skin repair occur under the intact epidermis. Skin is being remodelled and lifted from within all the while diminishing the look of lines and wrinkles. The treatment is a 'lunchtime procedure' – quick, virtually painless so no need for pre-treatment anaesthetic and no downtime required. While Halo is a hybrid laser that treats and the epidermis and dermis at the same time, ClearLift completely bypasses the epidermis. Having said that, epidermal problems will not be addressed.
